Solution

  1. To ensure the safety of her pet, Princess September put it in the cage.
  2. The bird at first suspected nothing and was surprised when she carried it over to the cage. After a moment or two, it asked what the joke was. When the Princess said that it would be much safer in the cage as there were many cats roaming about, it said that it did not mind for that one time, as long as she let it out in the morning.
