Here is a picture of Roger. He is six years old. I adopted him from a shelter when he was three months old. He is the sweetest, intelligent, adorable kitty.  |

Both of my cats were SO excited when I brought the birds home. They watched them constantly.
It's two months now, and the birds are old news. Adele doesn't have any interest in them. Roger loves to watch them.
I have never (and wouldn't) let my cats be alone in a room with the birds out. But, I do not feel right locking them away : (. I am very careful and attentive. The birds are not allowed on the floor. Roger likes to come over and watch while I am training the birds on their playgym. I used to make him sit on a chair. Yesterday, he got up on the table and laid down as far away from the play gym as he could be. I felt he was saying. "I can be good, please let me be here." I have let him smell them in their cage, to satisfy his curiosity.
When I put the wheatgrass in the birds' cage, they got scared, flew out and landed on the floor. Both cats ran away from them.
I hope no one is judgmental. I love all of my animals very much. I really want what is best for them all.

I am so glad it is working out. Lucky is only a week here so Lucy, the dog, barks when I train her. To stop that I have Lucy go tricks and praise her when I am finger training Lucky. I am sure it looks funny but it does work. I am hoping after time Lucky will be old news to Lucy.

Nope, no judgment here  Keeping parrots and cats in the same house can be perfectly reasonable, so long as the owners are responsible and realistic about each of their animals. I think you are doing very well setting boundaries and rules for yourself and for your animals |

No judgements from me either, Diana! You are a very responsible pet owner.
