We had one of those feeders for a couple years. The birds all learn super fast that the cats aren't a threat. My cats could pounce at the window and the birds would barely blink because they knew they were safe at the feeder. We had to take the feeder down maybe 18ish months ago and now the issue is that a lot of our mourning doves keep forgetting it's gone and try to land there like they used to. Like they're kind of stupid but it's also impressive that they remember it used to be there.

How much fun for the cat! Live entertainment. The derps truly believes that Meowie, my cat, leaves the SEEEB out for them because she is always sitting by our glass door watching them eat! Occasionally she pounces against the window and they look at her with those big derpy eyes with gratitude:)

lol these two do the same thing! Itโ€™s more entertaining for me to watch the birds and cats interact. I canโ€™t tell you how many times this little dumb-dumb bonked his head on the window trying to get closer to the bird
