We have a house full of cats, and a few birds have lately been lodged permanently with us - I'm trying to find ways of keeping the birds safe from the cats without confining them to another room, and I'm considering suspending their cage from the ceiling with a wire. Or are my cats simply going to jump onto it across the room from the piano then? I'd hate to test it. What do you suspect will happen?

Your cats will DEFINITELY try to jump, even from the floor, to get the birds. Your only sure-fire way to prevent any mishaps would be to keep the cats and the birds in separate rooms.

Have a lovely rest of the evening. yes cats = birdie eaters =[ OK this may seem like a fantastic story to you.but I have a parakeet and suspended his cage to the ceiling as you suggest, but my cats got a ladder and well.the rest is history. Good luck! I suspect when you are asleep they will have a meeting, discuss their options, and when you awake the next morning. you will find a cage full of feathers. (PS- Cats love a challange!!) Yes ,they will try anything to get to your bird cage. I own 2 cats, and every bird I ever had, they some how found a way to get to, no matter what I did.

My advice to you is enjoy your bird while you still have it. I wouldn't doubt that the cats will try to fly across the room from the piano to get at that cage. They're pretty ingenious and persistent when it comes to things like birds. If you put the birds in a suspended cage, the birds will love it and so will the cats as it will keep them busy trying to reach the cage.
