Well today I got home from a killer staff meeting... I'm a teacher so we can have some VERY long meetings after school, so instead of getting home around 3:30 4:00pm, I came home at 5:00pm... well Norman did NOT like that! He wouldn't really even let me touch him, he didn't want his usual night time scratchies, he literally just had his dinner (that I lovingly prepared) and then went to bed sulking! Oh well... hopefully he wakes up in a better mood haha

I know what you are talking about. I'm a teacher, too. I don't know what it's like where you are, but we have a meeting of some kind nearly every day after school - Bonnie sometimes gets only half an hour of out-of-cage time before it gets dark, as we are approaching winter here in Australia. So I leave home at 7:15am and get home between 5-5:30pm and she is NOT amused...then I do schoolwork before and after tea; still, what can you do?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm also a teacher, so COMPLETELY understand what you mean! Although I'm going freelance as a poet next year, so can manage my own time, and Maya can travel with me. Maya does this to me whenever I'm not back at the expected time, like if a train is delayed or something. Recently, I have had a severe, squawking telling off, plus the 'turn her back on me' treatment, and refusing head scritches. He'll get over it. Maya always does, don't worry! They never learn the world doesn't revolve around them...mainly because, after a long enough time, the world starts to revolve around them

You will come to appreciate those special times when they are angry with you and giving you the "cold shoulder" - it is just sooooo peaceful

Haha I can't believe there are so many teachers on here. Yes Norman is not impressed by me going so early and returning so late, I live in Australia too so I know all about it getting dark so quickly! Poor Normy thinks he has to go to bed at 5:30ish!
He has also started to hate my work laptop due to all my planning and schoolwork I do at home, he sits on it and nips the sides of it!!
Luckily, he has forgiven me for my 'naughty' behaviour the other night and decided we can be friends again. Especially seen he is CRAZY hungry at the moment, I think he might be growing...
