My cat watches my bp thru the glass doors of his cage but when I open the door she runs. I have held the bp and walked around with him and my cat loves to watch and has that pounce look in her eye.
When ever I take my bp out I shut my bedroom door making sure the cat is not in there.
I don't trust my cat, somedays she acts like she is scared to death and others she acts like if she could sneek up on him she would love to attack/play with him.
I would keep the cats and the bp apart.
