I don’t think that would be right to take the biblical saying “an eye for an eye” when it comes to cats killing birds. A lot of you are singling out stray cats, which to some extent is true but why are these particular cats stray? I will tell you why, because we humans breed the daylights out of the species to a point where it has become uncontrollable. How is that the cats fault?? A stray cat has to literally hunt and fight for its next meal and it won’t care what it has to kill in order to get some food and that includes your pet bird!!!

It is not just stray cats that are an issue, it is a cat’s natural hunting instinct to attack prey that it can easily overcome. This instinct is still domicile in cats that have been around captive birds since it was born and I personally would still not trust a cat of this nature with my Charlie (CAG).

All we can do as responsible pet owners it make sure 100% that our beloved feathery friends are never put in an environment where a cat can get anywhere near them. If your bird is allowed to freely roam around an environment where there is the slightest chance of being attacked by a cat then you only have yourself to blame when the inevitable happens.
