[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1659027, member: 9037"] I have a multiple pet household. I have cats and animals they consider prey. To have both you need to be careful that the "prey" pets have very secured cages that the cats cannot get into. And I am as careful as I can be when my birds are out with me. Of course a big birds beak can make a lot of cats think twice about tangling with them. I keep my cats indoors because I do not want them to become statics. in urban areas the dangers of being killed or maimed from cars is very high. As for reptiles I think bearded dragons are great for several reasons they don't get big enough to endanger a cat and they are very laid back. Mine got out once and the cats were to scared to go near him. They are not really curious because he does not have jerky moves that tend to exicite them. Another good choice would be a turtle of some kind. I have a water turtle they reguire a lot of work to keep their tanks clean but land turtles don't have that issue and their shell provides some protection. As I said in an earlier post I would like to get some leopard geckos. Now they would be in danger if the cats got into the cage or they got out. So I have been researching cage set ups that have secure locking lids. It takes a little bit of thought and planning to have a peaceable kingdom. But it can be done. [/QUOTE]
