I love how the cat starts to groom the bird!

I have cats and birds who live well together. The birds are very affectionate with the cats . It is 100% dependent on how the HUMANS in the equasion act. If you get hysterical every time a cat approaches a bird, you set up the idea that there's something to fear. I had a cat pick up a lovebird in his mouth and gently put him down without so much as ruffling a feather. It takes a lot of training, though.

This is one of the sweetest videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you Lianna.

Cats commonly have Pasteurella bacteria as part of their natural flora. While this bacteria is ubiquitous in cats and does them no harm, it is DEADLY to birds. Even if you cat just bats your bird or gets saliva on your bird, you could end up with a dead bird. Also, if you bird has a persistent problem with itching and other skin issues and you have a cat, this could be a cause and your vet should be asked to screen for this bacteria. If your bird is ever in a confrontation with a cat, take him to the vet immediately even if there are NO apparent wounds. The bird could still have been exposed to this bacteria. You should get your bird to a vet the same day if you think it has come in physical contact with a cat's saliva, feces, or food. This bacteria means even friendly relationships between cats and birds are not safe. Period.
