I should start off by saying that I don't own a cat. Actually, I've never owned a cat. (I was raised with dogs; my husband was raised with cats.)
Ironically, we both love birds and currently own a cockatiel named Joey and Maximilian Pionus named Holly Moon.
I have developed an intense interest in cats, especially for the following breeds:
1. Ragdoll (gorgeous!)
2. American Shorthair
3. Havana Brown
4. Calico
Can anyone tell me of your firsthand experience of successfully combining birds and cats in one household? I've been told that if a cat is raised with birds from the time it is a kitten, it becomes accustomed to them and (for the most part) non-threatening. Of course, I don't want to jeopardize my birds' well-being, which is why I'm posting here in the first place.
Thank you,
Jenk
