5. Amazing how that bird expresses himself. It's like a person talking to the cat.

7. Parrot is mimicking the person talking to the cat.

He must have heard that person talking to the cat that way many times.

8. Yeah. Wonder why the person has a cat if he talks to him like that?

11. Is the cat's psyche hurt with the perceived human vocal abuse from the parrot??

I'm guessing not.

17. Yeah, cats don't give a sh_t.

6. This vid gave me a very bad feeling. The parrot learned that behavior from the adults owners.

Unfortunately the parrots behavior would indicate the cat is not well treated. I'm surprised that the owners of the cat and parrot thought this was funny enough to upload to viral hog. Here's the note that was posted with the video.

"Cairo is a 20-year-old Congo African Grey parrot. He lives with 2 cats- Kitty and Max. He has a love-hate relationship with Kitty. Cairo gets irritated with Kitty’s constant meowing, so it’s not uncommon to catch him telling her off."

But as some noted in the replies, the parrot learned that behavior from someone.

Lot of replies seem to think it was a riot. Guess I'm just too sensitive.

9. No not too sensitive

Cats that meow a lot sometimes do it because of anxiety.
So what is making that cat cry?


Sometimes because they are neglected.
Any attention is better than being invisible.
Being told to shut up if they meow emotionally hurts sensitive cats. They know what it means.

Either way poor cats they shouldn't be treated that way.

The owners if they do not really love thier cats and want them to be happy and emotionally healthy then why do they have cats?

10. I am sad that I am not the only one.

Others picked up on that also.

12. I dunno, I found it funny. The human taught the parrot to, by example, utter these phrases,

every time the cat would meow/complain. Perhaps the parrot found the cat annoying and agreed with the human's vocalizations. Struck me as a brilliant parrot moment. No perceived damage to the cat's psyche. He ain't listening, anyway.

13. I know my pets through my life...

know my tone of voice. They’re listening. Sounds to me the ones not listening here are the owners.

14. Dog/Cat owner of the last 50 years.

Dogs were my best buds. Cats? ehhh. Wish I had a parrot like this to be my proxy.

[ret5hd]

15. If a pet is "ehh" to you, rehome it.

Our domesticated buddies need more than “ehh” to be happy.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. OK, thanks for the advice. I can be ehh and perfectly happy with

cats. Had many, but they never cut me up like when I lost one of my dogs. Cats were always welcome in my house. Never expected nor got much, attention.
