I posted a while back about a new cage order that did not go well... We finally got over that experience and are ready to try again. I found a cage online and chatted with the company already and feel pretty confident that we will get a good quality cage.
So our GCC currently has his own room upstairs, which of course had pros and cons. We want to move him into the main living area, of course also with pros and cons. The new cage will go into the corner of the room with a big window.
Biggest concern is the cat. We rescued the cat as a kitten and have kept them separate ever since (7 years). Our plan is to install a permanent gate that will corner off the corner of the room with the bird cage. In the event that the cat does jump over the gate the cage is plenty large enough to all our GCC room to move away, but obviously we want a gate that is tall enough to dissuade the cat from even attempting to jump or scale it. Does anyone have experience with such a set up?
Second concern is the floors. The floors are older tile floors that need to be replaced anyway, but not for a few more years. The grout is cracking and I want to prevent poop, seeds, and food from getting between the tiles and I want to prevent our GCC from coming in contact with any loose grout. Of course I want something water tight and easy to clean. Anyone have suggestions?
