Skritch was very angry with me for the first two days, because I brought that thing into the house.
He saw me holding the thing and I really deserved the bite he gave me later (after I washed my hands three times), it was inconsiderate of me to betray him like that.
But all was forgiven a few days later. I can squish him again and kiss his little belly without fearing for my life. Not the newcomer though, he should be afraid, Skritch hisses in the direction of his cage at least dozen times a day. It's the first thing he does when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep.
Syrnyk doesn't acknowledge the threats in any way, which angers Skritch even more.
