May be a mistake
I just got 2 parakeets and my pussy is staking them. The first couple
days she was totally facinated. Today after a hours or so she went to bed. The birds might have been stressed. Won't get on my finger like before. |

Won't get on my finger like before. Possibly. The cat may be stressed also. Any new pet brought in and given attention is bound to make a cat feel jealous. Some good tips on easing the tension can be had at http://birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww13evi.htm. HTH. |

The birds probably won't perch on your finger right now because of the
cat. This is understandable. They know there is a predator around but do not know that you will protect them from the predator. We have kept birds and cats together for years. Eventually both come to realize that the other is not going to be a threat. In fact, sometimes the birds will actually flaunt themselves in front of the cats... they come to feel so safe. It is pretty funny to see a bird facing down a cat! Of course, it is up to you to be absolutely sure your cat cannot get to the birds... no jumping on cages and make sure all the doors to the bird cage(s) are wired shut... Cats are intelligent creatures and can sometimes figure out how to get to a bird that you might think is perfectly safe. Make sure the bird is very safe and away from where a cat might be able to jump on top of the cage. |

Suddenly, without warning, James exclaimed (2/8/2008 3:06 AM):

Won't get on my finger like before. Me and my first cat Mouse moved in with my boyfriend (now hubby of almost 20 years). She was fascinated by his two goldfish. Within days, one of the goldfish was upside down Coincidence? jmc |
