Breeds of domestic cats, and especially care for them

This issue is not just in awe asked pet owners on various forums, exchanging views, experiences, funny and sad stories of life, but the simple answer to him was never found. Our pets - just like people - such different personalities, habits and inclinations, that each case is unique in its essence. However, some general points and recommendations, it is still possible to deduce from this, and then for you to choose how to behave in a particular situation.  

There are many factors that affect the results as the first meeting of the feathered and mustache, and their future relationships: the nature of both pets and their breed, age, time of appearance in your home, and even, in some degree, your education and style of communication with each of them.

 

Perhaps this conversation should begin with this cat (or cat - it is not fundamentally important). This is not discrimination on the grounds of the species - to admit that the cat can be a very rare here in the role of victim, and in most cases the top take their hunting instincts.

No one except you knows better than his furry pet - what is it? Lazy, affectionate and loves to sleep - or even as a kitten, playful, releasing the claws and teeth? How he loves to play? Soft paw drawing your attention to - or watching for hours annoying fly? If both times you were bent to the first option - then you have every chance of peace to make friends of his or Barsik Pusyu with the new occupant of the apartment, home is a hunter is likely to put a bird-eye is not in the best sense of the word.

 

First of all, you need to understand that no matter how small or large was not a parrot, he will feel themselves at home, if there is in the house before your other pets. These birds are very friendly and curious, and if the cat will not be aggressive, peaceful relations in this pair are provided. Otherwise, the bird can become easy prey.

 

If the first cat in the apartment had settled, and you decide to have a young parrot, the risk increases: nesmyshleny chick with heightened attention to his person by the predator may experience chronic stress, remaining wild - and the cat is more difficult to explain how a lead to a new resident. Better, of course, if the parrot will be in the house first, or simultaneously with the kitten, but in any case do not make you jealous of your pets to each other - try to give both an equal amount of attention.  

As two unique personalities get along with each other can be understood even when they first met - often it is a template on which further communicate with animals. Let us consider the main options:

 

Ideal - when animals from an early age are together. In this case, they usually get along well with each other: kitty does not consider the chicks as prey, but the immediacy of its rapidly growing appreciation cat. And it does not matter whether it's a cockatoo or wavy crumb.

 

To introduce the young future friends, pets should give direct contact: sniffed at, look, a parrot will want povoroshit cat hair with its beak (so they know the world). However, it should hold the kitten so that in case anything happens to intercept unwary feet stroke or attack. If that happens, you chide a mustache - it must by your tone of voice to understand that you are unhappy with this behavior.

 

So, all went well, the world is set. Such sweet couples can play together, eat from one bowl to sleep - and they did not care about the external differences, small animals communicate on equal terms.

 

However, the kitten grow up, can not calculate their strength in the game accidentally strangled parrot, so at first is look for them when a bird flies across the room, and if necessary, to educate. After watching for a while, you will be able to say with certainty: either you worry about pets or a kitten from time to time is the spirit of the hunter - in this case it is necessary to strengthen safety precautions, and perhaps find one of them a new home.  

While a reasonable approach this probability is negligible.

Who do say that cats are not able to exercise their natural instincts for caring for others? In Germany, for example, a cat rescued Charlie budgerigar Ghanzi, when he accidentally flew out the window next door at home, he waylaid the bird, and whole-intact gently brought his mistress into his mouth. That, in turn, returned the feathered happy owner. This means that the friendship between a cat and a parrot in the same apartment is quite possible.

 

Check option: a cat for a long time watching a bird in a cage, trying to get a foot, and stops, seeing the parrot out of cage. Believe me, long live parrot is not, especially if we're talking about small breed pets. And his life is uniquely bad. There are cases where because of the presence of hostile-minded cats birds refused to eat and died from stress. This is absolutely horrible, considering that parrots - one of the most intelligent, talented, emotional and loving creatures on this planet. Stupid parrot does not happen, and if, God forbid, you have come to visit and see the wild and hammered a ball of feathers - you know: before you the result of a crime! It would be like to meet pre-teen who can not speak, read, count and use a spoon. In captivity, parrots are in dire need of attention and communicating. And for years to be a potential predator food - it's too much.  

Yes, many people keep their pets in different rooms, closing doors, zaveshivaya cell and its heavier, so sly foot not turned birdhouse. It happens that the part with someone simply is not possible, or have nowhere to give a pet. All this is understandable, but you yourself would have been nice in their own house to be held hostage in the food chain? Hardly. Each of us - whether human, cat or parrot - have a right to security. The task of the host - to ensure it. So if you live in a house cat, and you dream about feathered friend, try to bring in guests from cell neighbor's parrot. Next picture a little clearer. Risking life birds in any case not worth it and very sad to read posts on the forums that "favorite Kote already eaten three parrots, and now we have plants only in guinea pigs ..." This, of course, personal opinion, but after this You can look at every day occurrence unflappable culprit? How can you even consider small parrots as some small animals, the loss is sad, but not critical?

 

must admit that your pets can not get along together, and you have to choose: either parrot or a cat. But if the opportunity is still there, or you need some time to find hosts, use the simple rules:

 If you notice aggression and culinary attention from the cats - to catch it, grab the mane, shake it and hear the order "No!" You can stamp his foot - in fact express extreme displeasure. This does not mean that the cat will lose all interest in the production - but your opinion is not the last factor in her life, and with this opinion, of course, need to be considered.  Carefully rasp cat claws, because if she can scratch the bird, she could die from blood poisoning.  Close the door to the room where there is a cage, and place on top of bird house that something heavy (with the flower pots) so that it was reliable as a rock.  Releasing the parrot fly, leave the cat in another room or to carry, but so that she could not see the bird flying, swimming and other pleasures.  

By the way: the dogs catch the birds more often than females, because the owners "cheat" them off. This particularly applies to fighting breeds. All the above applies to them too, if you have lived duo of dogs and a parrot.

 

This version is wide for its concrete manifestations, but in any case, cats are relatively safe - just acting up from time to time. Instigators of these lovely ugliness usually serve medium or large parrot, sometimes together with a cat-thief. Big cats are afraid of parrots: tasting bird's beak on her nose, ears or tail, in any case they do not try to eat winged. Many cats are afraid of parrots because of their high-pitched voice.

 

If your pet will choose this style of communication, then in front of you almost every day will unfold some interesting battles: the cat is waving his paws on the parrot, he - and brazenly fearless approach to the cat and chew on his tail, parrot can talk for hours to touch wool friend, not giving the poor animal to sleep, they fight for food, watch one another cat can scoot under the bed elementary and brave pernatik, even without seeing anything in the dark, to pursue the poor, screaming, "Give Roma tea!" ;

 

However, all these attacks, mostly harmless, and do not cause much stress for both pets, so for them to worry about you will not have to.
