Fabian the Cockatiel climbing up the cat

One of my cockatiels finding just the right spot to get comfy on his buddy, Annabella kitty, just before she shakes him off. Normally she enjoys this, but I think he needed a nail trim....postscript 8/24/08: Annabella passed away today at age 18 from age-related problems. Rest in peace, baby....Postscript 2: this clip was used in the Animal Planet show "Cats 101", episode 2 in the "Cats Gone Wild" segment. I'm so proud of my famous babies!

poor cat

[guleslionrampant]

Actually she really loved the birds and would usually purr when they sat on her - especially if they preened her ears. She just wasn't quite in the mood for it when this was filmed.

Is there a way to train my new kitten to not attack my cockatial?

[guleslionrampant]

I don't actually have any experience with training a kitten to leave a bird alone. My cat was a 16-year-old tired and slow old lady when we got the birds. She never went outside or learned to hunt and was even afraid of bugs! She also wore Soft Paws claw caps, which is a MUST for your kitten. Kittens are so full of energy and I won't even try it myself. I recommend researching the web and asking a seasoned avian vet for guidance on how to safely get kitty and bird used to each other. Good luck!
