Six step program in critter-land

Celine the Cat recently informed us about the important step 2 in

And that keeps mom happy, so it works well all around. The only hitch is that this arrangement does not allow for a sliding tray at the bottom to clean the place. Instead the mom unlatches the main part from the base, moving bird and house to papers on the floor. It's quick and easy. Not a problem. Except that proper respect was not given to Celine's task.

Step 2: check for varmits

The rest is trivial. Step 3 is to put bird and top of cage on the once-again properly placed newspapers.
