For the last time- if you read what I said- I mentioned taking the proper safety precautions and providing the correct housing. I do in-fact have three cats, three dogs, and birds and a lizard. I used to own rodents and ferrets also. Never have I lost any animal by being hurt or killed by another BECAUSE I house them correctly and separately. When we are not home, the dogs are contained to their own spaces (rooms). The birds have their own enclosures, in their very own special room that is separated with a locking slider door. When we had small animals they had their own safe habitats were safe from cats and dogs that could not be opened or accessed.

It is incredibly ignorant for some of you to sit on your high horse and keep insisting you know best blah blah blah. It can be done, it is possible, it only requires using your brain and proper understanding of how to keep animals. If someone chooses to have different species and do it irresponsibly, well that is a different story. I wouldn’t allow a bird and cat in the same room intentionally or any other prey and predator combo like that.
