Hello everyone! New cat mom to a 1.5 yr old BSH mix. We rescued him 4 wks ago today and are still getting acquainted and learning his behaviors. He loves to sit at the window and watch the birds so we bought one of those suction cup bird feeders that attach right onto the window so he could have an even better view and hang with his bird friends.
However, he now seems obsessed with watching out the window for "prey" and attempting to bounce on the birdies outside. I'm worried he's getting overly excited/frustrated not being able to get to the birds and I'm definitely not comfortable letting him outside.
Curious if anyone else's cats have reacted this way and if it's just normal behavior. I love that he has his "cat tv" I just don't want his frustration to turn into some sort of behavioral problem down the road. Am I just being a helicopter cat mom?!
