Pet Pictures
Yesterday, a very special "internet friend" was put to sleep.
Before I had CJ and Misty with me, I followed Gun-Hee's journal. Gun-Hee is a fellow Abyssinian. He died yesterday at the tender age of just under 2 years old from FIP. Gun Hee's mom was religious about taking pictures of him, and it made me think, "hey, I better break out my camera. I don't know when I'll lose my own two."
Rest in Peace, Gun-Hee
In that spirit, I took pictures of CJ and Misty, and the baby Mockingbird we found out in the grass yesterday. I'm not going to care if I'm bad at "picture-taking." Better to have a cruddy picture than no picture at all.
As for the baby Mockingbird... We've been keeping him in an empty, never-used litter box with a towel. The mother bird has been feeding him under the carport. We've been bringing him (or her) inside at night to keep hir warm.

Baby Mockingbird
Since the mother and father have been keeping up on predator watch and feeding the baby bird, we have not fed it.
We've been checking on him every 30 minutes / hour, and the parents seem to be just fine with hir in this location. I really hope our vigilance and make-shift nest is enough to see this baby through to adulthood.
(And yes, when we bring him inside at night, we lock him away from CJ and Misty.)

Hi! I am a sorrel Abyssinian living in France. My name is Sen-Chan and I am coming up to my first birthday.
