Too cute! I love how the cat would "poke" the owl to get her to fly! It's a good thing that owl likes the cat. She could do much damage with those talons of hers!
Also, if an owl feels safe in their environment IE: no hawks etc in the area, they will go out and about during the daytime.
I also learned while watching "Molly the Owl" for months and months, that owls like to sleep laying down on their side. Austin was bored and decided to wake up his sister Wesley. One of my fondest memories of having watched Molly and McGee raise their first clutch.
