Coming To Terms

After a horrible day yesterday we're slowly coming to terms with what has happened. It's not just Zippy's death that we have to deal with, we've also got to make peace with our cats, Misty and Eric, while they were only doing what comes natural, it still breaks our hearts to think that they could do such a thing.

Emotions were swinging from one end of the scale to the other yesterday until last night when we accepted what we knew to be right, that the cats had only acted instinctively and that in time we'll be able to forgive them for what hey have done and forgive ourselves for not making sure that there was no possible way the cage could be opened.

As Craig & Debra from J-Birds have suggested, anyone who keeps any kind of parrot should remember that just because your precious bird has never shown any sign of trying to escape from his cage, it doesn't mean he never will and if you can open the cage, so can he.


Debbie and I would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes and support yesterday, it really did help us get through the day :-)

Hi Barb

We are totally gutted about Zippy and I carnt get it out of my mind what has happened.

I dont forgive the cats, but it was me sis who explained that they are doing it from instinct, so I sort of understand it now.

I think it will be a long time before we trust them again!
