Should you give your cat toys with feathers if you have birds?
not really! asked:
Even though most of my cats are afraid of my birds, they know the damage those beaks can cause, I always am a little hesitant when it comes to toys with feathering.

Am I worrying too much or could they start associating the birds as play toys?
Also I would appreciate only hearing from someone who really knows what they are talking about, meaning they really know about cats. Because I love my cats and birds the same, they are my babies. I don’t want to take away the toys if I don’t have to, but at the same time, I don’t want to risk the lives of my birds.

Well, I wouldn’t do it. Just to be safe. My cat used to be an indoor/outdoor cat and he never killed anything. We bought him a bird toy and a mouse toy. A few weeks later, he started bringing dead birds and mice into the house =/
So I definately wouldn’t recommend it. I think they would associate the feathers with the bird and lose their fear over time. Try a mouse toy instead. Jamie ♥ RKO
