Don't let your cat play with feathers.

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.
