To stop cats from attacking birds, keep them indoors or provide a catio (enclosed outdoor area). If they go outside, use a cat collar with a bell or brightly colored Birdsbesafe® collar cover to alert birds of their presence. Provide them with enrichment such as toys or interactive feeding puzzles to keep them stimulated. Additionally, consider creating a bird feeder station in an area that's less accessible to cats, ensuring local wildlife remains safe.
