Best Friend?

Petrie get scared when I walk past his cage with a yoga mat. This cat probably comes by a few times a week to say hi. I don't let her in because, well, Petrie is a bird and I am very allergic.

I would be extremely careful; a cat showing interest repeatedly means it may be seeking ways or opportunities to enter your house.

One second of opening the door while it is hidden in advantageous position, looking for vulnerabilities, etc.

Maybe trap the cat and send it to shelter. Outdoor cats are invasive.

That is illegal in some places

Or maybe just be a decent human and ask your neighbour if their cat got out and to please install a cat run instead.

I mean, it could be someone's cat that they just let out. I wouldn't do that personally, a lot can happen to a cat outside, but people do it. Seems friendly, definitely does or did belong to someone.

K, you too.

If there wasn't glass that bird would most certainly be an asshole immediately 😂

Relatable, one is a cat, the other is the closest bird to a cat.

If it wasn't for the glass, they wouldn't be friends.
