I came home to find this guy in my apartment. Anyone know anything about owls? It's acting like it knows me! Like, IT'S WAVING!

As a supplement, maybe, but I wouldn't make its entire diet revolve around frozen mice. It's probably better to let it hunt on its own, then.

Though I'd keep your cat away from him, and the same for any small neighboring pets, as well.

I actually told it to not eat my cat and it gave me this look:



I'm pretty sure it was trying to say that eating cats was beneath it. I think my cat is fine.

It's free to go out and hunt as much as it pleases. As long as I don't have to buy live mice, I think I'll be ok.

You've graduated to talking to it and expecting a response. That seems like a good sign, yes.

What I am doing is not different than when I talk to Blaise. Apparently I have really smart pets. Which is fine.

[doitrockapella]

What are you going to name this one?

[blondferret]

Well, I was thinking Bronte. It sounds dignified and the name is unisex, since I haven't been able to figure out what sex it is yet.

Don't be surprised if it takes you a while to do. I'm told owls are a notoriously difficult species when it comes to determining that sort of thing.

[blondferret]

Which is why I gave ti a unisex name.

Sensible of you, yes.
