Solution

The pet dog Bruno and the little pet cat Tisca would have got upset about the author's attention-getting divided. Tisca would have refused to eat or drink and Bruno must have barked each time the author would play with Caesar. Bruno and Tisca would have leapt on to the writer's lap to get his attention like before.

Their pet parrot in the cage would have squabbled and squawked at the very sight of Caesar and called him names to tease him.
