I am thinking of taking in a 6 year old, spayed, vaccs'd, declawed female cat.
It is basically on it's way to the SPCA but I would like to take her, I have spoke to the current owner a few times she needs to rehome her before winter.
My problem is I have an older rat, and a bird. The rat is in a large cage I don't really see him as a problem I can't see the cat and him getting into contact because the cage has a huge plastic bottom and then it goes up 3feet, it is 3 feet off the ground too, so 6 feet to get up to it and then the rat never hangs out at the top.
The bird though.. if the cat got up onto his cage which is about a 5 foot leap she could maybe stick a paw in and if he's sitting on his branch she might beable to touch the bird (if the bird didn't move) half the cage is covered on the top it's a big cage the bird could move..
Sorry.. ugh!! I've never had a cat before so I don't know what they are like I know they are all different...
She is a tad overweight also if that is something you need to know..
Any insite would be REALLY appreciated...
Thanks guys.
