Owning a cat and a bird

Its only natural for cats to want to want to eat birds. But it can be done. I have 2 cats and 2 birds inside. You need a spray bottle with water in it. Surely the cats want to smell and investigate. But when they go near the cage, you have to squirt them so they know not to go near it. Be patient and persistant. It might take a couple of weeks. But cats are sly and will try to jump on the cage.

How did you introduce the bird to your cat? I wouldn't do that. lol We had a cat and a bird. They knew about each other. We kept the bird in very high places.

We have 2 cats and 2 birds as well (masked love birds). As long as you keep the cage away from anything the cats can jump on and gain access to the bird, you will be ok. Our male cat looked at the birds for a day or two then got bored with them. The female still watches them but 95% of the time could careless that the birds are in the house.

This will all depend on the cat and the bird. I had a discussion recently about dogs and mice. I found 3 different responses. You would think there is only 2 ways about this kind of discussion, but it seems otherwise. I can't say your cat and bird won't get along. Then again, I can't say it will. It all depends on the cat and bird. Good luck.

We have two cats and two birds (cockatiels). For the most part, the cats just ignore the birds. In return, the birds aren't particularly concerned about the cats.
