How do I keep my cat from jumping up by the bird cage?

I have a problem with my cat jumping up by the bird cage and scaring the bird to death! It does not matter where I put the bird cage, the cat finds away to get up to it. I scare the cat away from it, spray water at it, put it in a pet carrier, swat the cat even, nothing seems to work! I ran out of things to try! "PLEASE HELP ME FIND AWAY!"

I have had cat and bird combos many times in my life and so I know how frustrating it can be. I had my bird high up, I kid you not up 8 feet up on top of my china cabinet and my cat did a full volt up and hung on to it knocking both of them to the ground!! My bird ended up with a tumor and I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I got a bird cage that is cat proof cant be knocked over and cant be opened, its by a company not sure if they are still in business but its a wooden cage and on a wood stand its a great cage, search ebay or yard sales for something like that, My cats actually slept on the top and ended up being Buddy's with my birds.. I have had the same cage for over 17 years.. amazing still is in top shape, worth the money! GOOD LUCK

When it comes to purchasing a bird cage for your feathered companion, you might have to consider which type of materials to look for. There are so many different types of materials such as wrought iron, stainless steel, wooden, acrylic and plastic. Each material is made for different types of birds, or rather; each bird can only fit into certain types of materials. For instance, a macaw can easily destroy a wooden bird cage without a hitch. Parrot cages should be made in wrought iron or stainless steel. Otherwise you will end up replacing the cage very quickly.

Yet the decision often comes down to whether you should purchase a wrought iron bird cage or a stainless steel bird cage. There are many factors when it comes to this decision.

First consideration comes to durability. Wrought iron made cages are very sturdy and can withstand a parrot's beak attack. However, over time, even the best wrought iron bird cages can rust or be scratched or damaged. This comes down to the wear and tear over the years. On the other hand, stainless steel will not rust and can withstand any parrot attack as well. This is because stainless steel cages are made in much higher quality and therefore can last a very long time. In fact, you might even be able to have it last for a life time.

That does not make the decision much easier though, because one of them is significantly more expensive than the other. Most times they can cost several times more. This would definitely force you think twice whether you will have enough budget to procure such an item. The thought process should go like this: do you want to spend all your money now to spend on a cage that you can possibly use forever or spend on a cage that you will replace every several years.

For most bird owners, the budget issue made many people to choose wrought iron instead. However, for those who chose stainless steel were very happy customers. They did not have to deal with rusting or buying any new bird cages for a very long time. If you can actually afford it, sometimes it is probably better to go with stainless. Think of it as an investment. It is almost like buying a house. If you look to own a bird and raise it for another 20 to 30 years, getting stainless will make the cost of cage per year much lower than if you were to stick with wrought iron.

Nevertheless, you should always talk with your family or friends before making this purchasing decision. You should also make sure that your feathered companion is comfortable and happy in the environment as well. The drawback for buying a stainless steel bird cage is that you probably cannot find some unique or special cages to replace, whereas a wrought iron bird cage owner can replace to something bigger or smaller without sacrificing a large chunk of his or her budget.
