The weather is beautiful and warm here in South Africa today, our summer time, extremely hot.

I sat with Mishka outside on the balcony, for about an hour and a half.
Our balcony is enclosed with buglar bars, which is great, but we have a cat living next door, who often wanders onto our balcony.

Later on I brought Mishka inside, placed him on his playstand.
I left the balcony door open, but only one side.

I was watching a movie, Mishka happily playing away, ringing his bell.

A while later Mishka climbs down, and begins to walk around.

Suddenly in the corner of my eye, I saw a movement, Mishka screamed mommy mommy...... the cat had come in through the balcony door, facing Mishka face to face.

I immediately stood between Mishka and the cat, the cat began growling.
I thought don't scream, it would scare both of them.
Rather let the cat attack me, than Mishka.
I was trying to block Mishka, that the cat could not see him.
All Mishka was saying was mommy mommy, I wanted to cry.
I tried to shew the cat away, he would not budge, he was ready to attack.
I screamed to Mishka cellphone cellphone, and thank God Mishka began making the ringtone of my cellphone. The cat got such a fright, he turned to run out, and ran straight into the glass part of the door that was closed.

In two seconds he was gone.

Mishka climbed back onto his playpen, as if nothing had happened.

I must video Mishka immitating my cellphone ring....... he does it so well, but a million times louder.

I do not think the cat will be "visiting" any time soon. but tomorrow I am going to chat to my neighbour.

Thank God I did not fall asleep, Mishka could have had a tragic ending....
I do not even want to go there

:grey:
 
Oh lord you need a screen door on the sliding door so you can have one side open for air. Thankgod it worked out ok but MIshka dodged a bullet on that one:)
 
OMG Ant that must have been horrible. :( Having a cat myself I can always make sure she's blocked off from the fids, but with a stray, OMG that would be horrible, not being able to control that... Glad Mishka (and you, from a cat fight :eek:) is safe!

PS A video of that ringing would be really amusing! :p
 
A very very scary scenario! Glad it ended well!
 
I bet Mishka would kick that cat's butt. Hes like a birdy version of Chuck Norris, all awesomeness!

Unfortunately we do not own the apartment, can't do any renovations whatsoever. A screen door would be impossible, as it is a double glass door.

I left a letter under my neighbour's door, asking her to please pop in and see me........

I still can't believe how calm Mishka was, he never budged, just did as I told him to. Then walked up to his playpen, climbed up and began playing again.

Wow what a scare glad everyone is ok!


I honestly do not think Mishka even knew his life was in danger.
Mishka loves everyone and anything, therefore does not forsee any danger.
The only thing Mishka HATES are flies LoL

Mishka a version of Chuck Norris, I very much doubt it LoL

Quite correct, he is a show off. When videoing him earlier this morning, I noticed just how much he loves the camera, he actually starts "acting" no jokes.

WOW, what a close call that was. Mishka is cute. If it were Tiki, she would have scampered toward the cat to see if it wanted to play:) I'm glad Mishka alerted you to what was about to happen. Good bird.
 
Oh wow Ant! That's awesome!
When I played the video Scarlet heard, she was talking back to him, till he made the cell phone noise, she didn't like that lol, she just screamed at it! REALLY loud! Haha
Oh Miskha how I love you <3

Thank Mike
Mishlka did alert me, and listened to exactly what I told him to do, Thank goodness. I am sure Mishka would have walked up to the cat, and tried to kiss the cat
