How do we stop this? Closing the door to the cage room is impractical.

How so?

Using a spray bottle is usless and just makes for a wet cat.

Sorry, I don't have a suggestion. Persia is the only cat I've ever had and
the spray bottle definitely taught her my two parakeets were off-limits.
They passed away but I have a lovebird now and Persia pays absolutely NO
attention to her. When she exhibited curiosity when I first got Peaches
(who is this strange feathered creature?) the spray bottle worked. Not sure
why it isn't working for you.

Do you let your bird fly around? If so, that's probably what is attracting
Buffy. Definitely close the door to the cage room if your bird is in full
flight.
