Thread: Maine Coon and parrot?

Don't worry about either your parrot or the kitty. One of my Greys has lived with me for about 20 years and has always scared the hell out of my cats, and others. Even when I had two cats together, they had great respect for him. My last cat was a good hunter but she never touched Basil.

I have a video of my two Main Coon brothers hunting him at their first encounter. He was on the back of the sofa and they slunk up from each end. But while they were thinking about it, he marched up to each of them in turn and bit them on the nose. After that, they always checked if the cage was open when they came in and would keep under the furniture if he was out of his cage. I now have a second Grey and she would sit happily with my last cat even though Milly hunted other birds.

My current cat, Choo Choo takes no notice of them at all. A dog is more of a problem as dogs leap after the parrot when it flies. That is the only time I very nearly lost Basil.
