[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 355530, member: 3419"] Not sure there is any such thing as a cat with-o hunting instinct. Make sure you get a [COLOR=black][B]young kitten[/B] and[/COLOR] when you introduce them, you keep your grip on both. If the kitty puts out a paw, tap her paw and say, "No!" just like a dog. Maybe feed them in front of one another, so they can see that the other is not a threat. It's a lot of work!!! Put a bell on the cat's collar. It will ring to alert you and the bird to last min leaps. Bells save birds' lives. Other than that, if you don't want to train the cat, just keep the bird very, very well locked up. Use twist-ties on the door so the bird can't get out. (Speaking from experience here. Birds of any kind love to slide open the doors.) [/QUOTE]
