Chimney Cap Venting Safety

I recently moved into a house that didnt have a chimney cap and is in a wooded area with plenty of squirel and birds. The chimney vents the gas water heater and gas furnace. Its 8x8.

I installed a standard chimney cap with push in brackets like these:

BUt now I realized, is this a bad idea if this equipment has never had a cap on the roof? As in CO problems etc?
