I don't think its fair for you to rehome Baybi in any case. She came first. Your home has been her home for a longer time than Amber. My first thought was, "When you had a bird and didn't have a seperate room for a cat, why get a cat? And...if you got a cat, why did you introduce her to your room, where Baybi lived? I'm sure your house has other rooms. Even a living room would do for a cat." I want a cat, very badly, BUT...I have two birds who have been with me for 7 years now, and currently, do not have an extra room for a cat...so, I won't even consider it right now. My birds came first, and they come first. If for any reason, I got a new pet who caused my birds problems, the new pet would be the one to go, not the first one.

Birds and cats don't mix. If you have birds and cats in the same household, they need their own, seperate rooms, where the cat cannot access the bird. Letting the cat into the same room as the bird with her pouncing on the cage and scaring the bird is cruelty on the bird. Baybi can get a heart attack if she gets too scared. Do you realize that?

If I were you, rehoming Baybi would not even be a thought, let alone an option. If Baybi's cage is huge...get her a smaller cage, and move her to another room, where you WILL allow her to be out of the cage for many hours during the day, in safety, away from Amber. If that's not a possibility, keep Baybi in your room, and train the cat to stay in other parts of the house. It may be a challenge at first, but I'm sure it an be done. As a last resort, if one of them has to be rehomed, it should not be Baybi. She was there first.

This is exactly why I DON'T want to rehome her, and want to do what's best for her.. beause she WAS here first. We're definitely going to end up either moving her or Amber to separate rooms.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone..

Good news.. we found a place to move Baybi's cage.. She's in our family room now, where our old fish tank used to be. She has a nice window view and we can shut Amber out of that room. We go in there frequently, so she'll still have company Looks like it's working out well!
