About Swoop -
“I slowly introduced those two together and I was just really
surprised the cat came to love it,” he says. “Now they're sort of
best mates and they just hang out with each other all the time.
Usually they're just roaming around together; the bird's lying on his
back and cuddling with the cat.” — Matt Owens
