I think Elmo’s bad behaviour has rubbed off onto Georgie. Look what she’s doing:
Poor Hugo cat doesn’t know where to go when the pigeons are having a bath in his water bowl!!
Richard and I went for a walk in Jesmond Dene park and had a look at the animals in Pet’s Corner. We were amused to see some Geordie woodpigeons stuffing their crops on the free food! The ducks were fast asleep nearby. They didn’t seem bothered by the theft.
poor poor Hugo!
Is this OK? Isn’t cat salvia toxic to birds?
Hi Michael, I change the water every day and, to be honest, I’ve never seen our cat actually drink from the bowl, so I’m not worried about the saliva. But thank you for your concern. As far as I know, cat saliva is really only a real issue if it enters the body through a puncture wound or other injury.
