Do you love cats and birds but don't know how to make them get along?
Are you afraid that the cat will hunt the bird, and the bird will be afraid of the cat?
Don't despair, there are ways to make these different animals friends. In our article you will learn how to do it.
Don't let your cat play with feathers.
The first step to friendship between a cat and a bird is to remove all cat toys that have feathers from the house.
Feathers are a signal to a cat that these are its prey and it will try to catch them.
If you want your cat to be disinterested in the bird, you don't need to stimulate its hunting instinct.
Provide your cat with active games
A cat that has spent a lot of time outside will not be able to sit quietly at home.
She needs to use up her energy, otherwise she will look for entertainment, for example, in the form of a bird.
Therefore, it is important to play with the cat, run with it, teach it commands and tricks. And you need to do this in the presence of the bird, so that the cat gets used to its presence and does not consider it a competitor for your attention.
Do not leave pets unattended
Even if you think the cat and bird have become friends, you shouldn't risk their lives by leaving them alone.
Always make sure that the bird is in a closed cage and that the cat cannot get to it.
This way you will avoid unpleasant surprises and ensure the safety of your pets.
This way you can make friends between a cat and a bird and make them happy. Remember that a cat is not a toy, but a living creature that needs your love, care and attention.
