HI there,
I did a search before posting this but couldn't find any relevant threads. We got our new Ekkie on the weekend. We have a pet cat and two (mainly outside) dogs. In the Ekkie book we got it said that most cats aren't interested in birds as big as an Ekkie. However, our cat is VERY interested in our bird. We are making sure that she is locked in the other end of the house when no one is around to supervise Arnie (even when he is in his cage) and most definitely making sure she is locked in the other end of the house when he is out. Just wondering if anyone else has a cat and can offer some insight as to how the relationship panned out long term. Will she eventually lose interest in him? She doesn't seem to phased by his size, despite the fact that she isn't a very big cat. Just wondering how worried I should be. :52:
Thanks in advance.
