I have had Myrtle for almost 4 years now. She will be 5 in April.
Rambo is up early this morning looking for something to get into. He found the wooden chair one of my Veteran buddies made for me. (Harold put wheels on a straight back wooden chair because Mom's wheelchair would not fit through the bathroom door.) Rambo was having so much fun chewing on it that he did not see me coming. Myrtle was on my shoulder. When I bent down and picked up Rambo, Myrtle bit my cheek and even drew blood. This is the same girl that preens me every day and tells me whispered secrets.
I yelled OWE and knocked her off my shoulder (I have done it before and barely touch her before she flies.) She has come back to me 3 times and each time I said owe and waved her on. Not letting her land on me is punishment.
She probably had a jealous attack because I picked Rambo up. Rambo is older and I have had him much longer. He has never bit me even when he was in season.
Is this what I think it is. Is she coming in season? Rambo is cuddly when he is in season but these 2 are opposite in personality.
Can I have a little help here? I don't want to alienate her by waving her away but she has to know that she hurt me and this is the only way I can think of to get it through to her.
