Oh, God, what if its the mama bird? I'll be more than devastated if she doesn't find her way out! She;s still int he basement and Pouncer is pacin the kitchen and crying at the door - he knows the bird's down there and wants it! I took Nicki outside and he darted out - I caught him just as he was headed for the open basement doors. Never said he was a dumb cat.

I am so very late for my daily runs and don't want to leave... I've been putting off one customer since Monday, I can't ignore them again today!

Poor birdie.
