Little Bird Pretty bird, in the cage, I feed you every day. I put water in the dish. You bite. Pretty bird, in the cage, I put water in the dish, I pay attention, and speak with you often. You bite. Pretty bird, in the cage, I pay and pay, You will not listen, I sing you songs, and bring you toys, daily. You bite. Pretty bird, in the cage, I went to the store, and there was a kitten. “Free” in a box. I brought him home. You bit. Pretty bird, in the cage, I fed the cat today. He purred.

I want to squeeze you for stating the obvious. Moo-haha, not a nice poem. LOL... Yes, he really does bite. Love your incredible cat photo. Bob, says I should not love it so much... I think he is catching on... Ann (casually fanning through chicken cookbooks) :)

Well, when you get a pet, they are not always what you thought in your head... then the reality sits in. You have to decide where the line is between cat food and loving "pretty things". :) I am such a sucker. Ann Meow.
