Birdies!

[lolin]

birbs are currently very spooked because the cat jumped up on the desk by their cage despite being squirted and told to stay away from them a few times in the past

this is hard

i just want all my animals to love each other ;-;

Bad cat no scare the birds

[lolin]

I think maybe once they get used to each other. Don't know how it works for birds and cats but we have a kitty and pup dog and they reached an understanding after a bit where they at least tolerate each other.

it's different for cats, cats are instinctive hunters so she's always going to somewhat desire the birds

however, this does not mean she can't be classically conditioned to gtfo from where the birds are

[lolin]

our cat is a definite hunter, she catches grasshoppers and brings them to me and has found a few mice before

birds, she struggles with because they're fast and fly, she's only ever caught one of them

[lolin]

the most plausible explanation i've seen for bringing an animal to you is that they're trying to teach you to hunt

i still like the "here's a gift thx 4 taking care fo me" theory though
