So Thomas (that's my cat) and I have been entertaining a very special guest over the holidays...a parakeet (I don't know how to spell that). I believe his name is Elmo (although I might have been mistaken when Lacy told me his name). 
The first couple days, Elmo stayed in the bathroom because the cat doesn't go in there. Then I worried that it was too cold in there (I have no clue what a bird needs!) So I brought him in the living room so he could be social during the day and then I put him in the guest room to sleep, no cat access. Well, Thomas was interested in Elmo but by no means obsessed. Then yesterday, I caught him getting ready to make the leap from the floor to the top of the tv cabinet in order to get Elmo!! The picture you see is in the guest room where Elmo sleeps on the floor but in the living room he is out of cat's reach, but Thomas just sits and stares at Elmo regardless of where he's located. But I think they will be friends soon. I explained to Thomas that Elmo is our friend and we don't eat our friends! Happy Holidays!

"Elmo" is beautiful. thomas is like newman. newman was tasting (aka licking) my grandma's birds through the cage last thanksgiving.
Elmo looks just like my parakeet that I had growing up named Buddy. :) Good memories.
