Unlikely Friends

We got a parakeet. At first our cat did not know what to make of it. So when Smokey would jump on the cage to investigate I would have to chase him off.

When we went away for our vacation my daughter did not discourage Smokey from checking out the new addition to our family. By the time we got back the cat and bird somehow became friends.

When Smokey gets on the cage the bird will climb to the top and pick on his tail or his feet making Smokey flinch. This has become a game for the two new friends.

Many times I find Smokey napping on top and the bird sleeping on his perch. The bird is not the least bit afraid of the cat.

We can learn from these unlikely friends. It is not what were are on the outside that matters. It is what is in the inside that counts.
