This has been a bug ever since tamable pets were added. I can remember 3 times when I accidentally killed my parrots. Because of this, I decided to go in creative mode to replace them. If you can't fix this bug, then parrots and cats should gain 20 health points when you tame it just like a dog, and giving them food should heal them like dogs. before the second time I accidentally killed my parrot, a witch threw a poison potion at me and some of my pets, and I should have been able to heal them by giving them food just like a dog.

Works As Intended. If players in survival weren't able to kill their own pets, then pets should have the ''Invulnerable'' tag. Reporting that pets should be unaffected by player's weapons is a feature request.
Â
This is considered working as intended; also see MC-94772 (resolved as WAI by a developer), which describes pets being damaged by a player's sweep attack. If you'd like to suggest for this behavior to be changed, please visit feedback.minecraft.net.
Note that cats can be healed by feeding them uncooked fish.
