OK, look again at the cat. Obviously his name is Sylvester, so he thinks ALL birds are Tweety birds. Oliver should have known this. Sylvester, Shadow, Nancy and Honey all want to be friends and they promise not to try to eat Oliver. Peace, Bro.
Seriously though, I also really like birds, so that's why when I let the boys go outside they have to wear bells on their collars. The first and last time I watched Nancy (Nancy's a boy, long story) take a bird out of mid air I knew I couldn't let them get that close again so I got them all bells and now the local birds love me again.
Have you ever seen Jebra and Fum? The owl and the cat? Very cool.
