La Loco needs to get their shit together, I haven't seen them in forever.

I can haz budgie pate?

Whatever, those Russian budgies are tough.

Twenty million years of cats eating birds and now birds must fear the domestic cat cohabitation touch!

Nature is just... so... cruel...

WHAT KIND OF MONSTER LETS THEIR PETS BE FRIENDS ALSO HOW CAN ANY OF YOU EVEN LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS YOUR TOILET DONT YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET CHOLERA

Look, your pets can make you sick, and they can make each other sick. Cats often carry bacteria that cause infection; their effect on small animals, due to their size, can be much worse than for a human or other larger animal, even if the cat is free of anything particularly virulent (All domestic animals are capable of making your other pets ill, just as you might if you are careless or irresponsible; it's just that cats are /particularly well-adapted/ for doing so with birds and small animals).

Even a friendly cat playing with a little bird can unintentionally cause a great deal of physical harm to it. And this cat, while long-suffering, was definitely NOT trying to high-five that budgie at the end.

So yes, the owner is a moron.

AFAIK cat bites are dangerous to small animals not so much because of disease, but because their saliva so allergenic it's practically proto-venom, so a bite can put a mouse or small bird into anaphalactic shock. Takes the wind right out of their little sails.

After all these years, dead_cat, I had no idea you were such a drooling moron.

You hide it well!
