Flying Cockatiel and My Statues

[Blackthornone]

Worse for whom? Cats love cockatiel.

That was funny, but I like birds and don't like cats. Perhaps this is your way of suggesting a way in which the cockatiel might have an "accident" and therefore eliminate the problem, without involving the ASPCA?

My experience with cats is that they knock stuff over. They jump up on things they should not and try to navigate unsuccessfully, causing a mess. I've seen it happen on numerous occasions. It is one of the reasons I don't like cats. That, and claw marks, and dander, ect, but my dislike of cats is beside the point here.

I had a cat for 20 years...he never got into anything

Well, my father's cats have, so it depends on the cat. It was a very curious cat. I suppose it depends upon how curious the cat is. What I can say is that I have seen the cat jump up on dressers and knock over prescription bottles, loose change holders, and anything else up there. I did not pay much attention to the cat, but I saw it happen at least 4 times. Figure the actual number of times is significantly higher.

Based on what I have observed, I would never trust a cat around anything that could be knocked over or damaged by it's claws.
