(25,879 posts)I mean, what self-respecting cat would behave like that?
Although, it's my understanding that cats are usually taught to hunt by their mothers, so a kitten whose mother is always indoors and never teaches the hunt, could easily grow up without much inclination to do so.
And to think that cats get blamed for the slaughter of millions of birds. Clearly this one isn't doing his share.

(22,270 posts)put the kitten in the cage with the bird. Bird had a nasty temperament anyway and promptly blew and hissed at the kitten. After that she would not even get on top of the cage. Ironically, this cat grew up to be a real badass too. She was rather petite but she could stare down a 40 pound dog so fiercely he would sit and tremble.
Our second kitten lounged around on top of the cage all the time and totally ignored him.
