I recently posted these pictures of my bird and cat on the interwebs somewhere,

And i was alarmed about the amount of flames i received!

Can anyone actually prove from personal experience that cat saliva is a poison that can seep through bird feathers, into the circulatory system and kill a bird?

cats don't really have much saliva. their mouth is pretty dry

No, your cat's saliva will not eat through your bird's feathers like acid. That's bullshit.

Generally speaking though, it's never good to swap saliva with another species. It can spread bacteria.

Isn't aarp = American Association of Retired People? I didn't know anonymous trolled oldfags.

The cat's saliva and thereby the bacteria would have to have contact with something like the mouth or eyes or a cut in the skin.
If the cat scratches the bird you could certainly have a problem.

Fuck that, they should be more worried about the cat mauling the bird if they're going to get all up in arms over these photos. You know your animals better than they do and if both parties get along and are being supervised then you can take pictures of them fucking square dancing I don't care.

OP pics are just the two animals LOOKING at each other. Hopefully OP wouldnt put them together if he didn't know their personalities, so I don't see a problem. The one from the AARP site is a little more worrying because the cat's swatting at the bird, though.

You have a lovely cat and parrot. As long as the cat won't try to eat it, they'll do fine.

No, but the cat will probably eat it.

It's only a matter of time before the cat eats or attempts to eat the bird.

OP HERE
indeed. The cat has no intention of hurting my birds (i have two). He actually pounced on and caught one of them once. But he didn't have his claws out so the bird just flew out of his grasp.
The lovebird pictured automatically starts chasing the cat and trying to bite him. The cat rolls over playfully and trys to sniff him and pat him with his paw.

I didn't really ses a problem with this, but jeez, some people...

PS. we don't put the cat together in the same room with the bird he pounced on. That bird is too paranoid and starts freaking out and the cat gets excited.
However, the cat's more tame around the lovebird (pictured) and is actually kind of afraid of him.

Now this is a story all about how my
Life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I become the cat of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
In the box is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
And all lickin' my nipped balls outside of the school
When a couple of birds they were up to no good
Started coverin' cats in my neighborhood
I got in one little ball and my mom got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

This is awesome. Most cats would attack those birds immediately. How long have they been living together?

op here
We've had the cat for two years i think.

Cat was obsessed with the birds at first. You know, would sit and stare at them from outside the cage. Jump up next to the cage and sniff.
But he got tired of that.
Then we started seeing what they were like together. The lovebird immediately established who was boss. Started attacking the cat. Now the cat just rolls over.

OP, I realize those pictures are cute, but always remember your cat is a predator and birds are prey, they can be fine together 364 days a year, and the 365th, birdy dinner.
