Morbid Discovery

Remember in my previous post how I stated that we lost 3 societies over Christmas because the cats broke into the baby's room and ransacked the cage?

Well I failed to mention that out of the 3 that were dead, one of them was MIA. She just wasn't anywhere to be seen. We searched high and low, under couches, behind the beds, in closets...everywhere. We even tried to piece together a crime scene...but we just couldn't find her.

3 weeks later, I found her.

She was laying on an air vent, next to a window. I could only assume that she escaped the onslaught and got caught between the window and the blinds and simply starved to death before we got home. Thats so sad. She was actually my favorite little society...kind of skitso. She'd dart back and forth, back and forth, back and forth between the sides of the cage every morning, and she'd sing while she ate millet. I also managed to hand tame her. She was a bit harder than the other societies to hand tame, but she finally came around.

Now we found her in our bed room just now, and the blinds had shifted a little so I suspect one of the cats got behind there and knocked her down. Its kinda creepy that she'd been there this whole time and we just never noticed (ew...) but then, we never open that particular window blind. Its our bedroom for christ sake! No one needs to see what happens in there!

Anyways, we found her. Its kind of sad to see her that way, but theres really nothing much we could do except say goodbye. She was a good little lady.

Goodbye, Gemini. Rest in peace.
