My cat likes to assault birds

[TSIAS]

I know it's not much of a shock that cats like to torment other animals sometimes. I have 3 cats. Two of them are pefectly fine. My 15 year old, King, is too fat and lazy to go chasing after birds. Even when he was young, he wasn't into it. My youngest one, Buster, is literally scared of anything that moves. He's even timid around my pet iguana.

Unfortunately, Trix likes to go after the birds. Actually, it's anything that moves. She attempted to kill my iguana last year. Luckily, we heard the cage fall and were able to save Squiggy the Iguana. I don't think she wants to harm the animals. She just is very curious and likes to play around. She's gotten about 5 birds recently. It looks as if she'll need to be declawed very soon.

The whole situation is kind of upsetting. We have to keep the iguana inside the bathroom. If it were ever left out alone, he would surely either be killed or go loose. We could never have birds of our own. You really hate to part with a pet you've had for years, and I don't think we'll do that.

As I finish cleaning up the feathers, I'll be interested in hearing about other DU'ers in similar experiences.
