~*~*~ Its Time Once Again For... *~*~*

Cat Collar With Bell ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

go FANCY!


During last years' winter months I put cat collar with bell on my four felines so I'd be able to hear them whether they were out of doors or in the house somewhere. Its quite the tale to tell, really. Their reactions to having a constant quiet jingle close to their ears every time they moved, scratched or shook themselves was quite comical. At first it was merely adjusting to having an alien cat collar with bell around their necks where nothing had been before; they didn't react to the bells until they moved. Sassy and Molly, being much older and wiser and old hats at this sort of thing ignored both cat collar and bell; just accepted them.

go BRAIDED!

Emerald and Winston, however, had different reactions. Winston's was confusion to his cat collar with bell, he couldn't figure out where all that noise was coming from every time he moved and figured that maybe the best strategy would be to 'run' from the noise until he realized the jingle from his cat collar with bell was following him wherever he went so, problem solving cat that he is, he went to his mother, Molly, for advice and observed the way she handle this new and intrusive situation. After watching her ignore cat collar with bell, he began to get used to his own cat collar with bell and learned to ignore it as well.

or go BELLS!
Then there's Emerald.

Yep and then there's Emmy! Boxing Winston's ears???
Totally and singularly unimpressed, she fought with what she regarded as her 'new enemy' and managed to get the cat collar with bell caught, twice no less ~ once on her tooth and another time, in her claw. Immediate rescue and relief came in the form of tightening up the too-loose cat collar with bell so she was no longer able to attempt maneuvering it over her head.

Its hard to see Em's Cat Collar With Bell, but its there
 Is she a smart cat or what!  It annoys her to 'jingle' when she is strategizing catching a bird and its totally funny to watch her as she adjusts her body and behavior so she can still stalk them but in the end, not catch them.

Her mother, Sassy, hunts the over-numerous mice, voles and rats on the dairy and leaves the birds alone, completely. She's developed strategies where, while hunting, she is able to keep her cat collar with bell completely quiet. Sassy only jingles when she wants too.

Cat Collar With Bell

Cat Collar With Bell ~~ I could compose a little ditty here but you wouldn't be able to hear it.


I was in the dollarama store and I found... WAIT FOR IT! 
YES, cat collars with bells! How... did you guess?


This is the order they went in...

four cat collars with bells
You have to excuse Emerald's name, the paper towel was wet. 









Once the first jingle was heard, the jig was up!  The cats suspected something nefarious was going on - they were possibly right!


I caught drama queen Molly unawares! She'd had a collar 4 years and just looked at me expectantly. She did not attempt to make a scene.

To her went the GOLD bell

A confused Winston came next. I'm afraid he reacted rather oddly. He couldn't figure out where all these bells were coming from! He did a dance around the living room; round and round he went, trying to shake them off...

The RED bell was awarded to him
Eventually he calmed down but still could not solve the mystery of the source of the bells in his ears...


Would the mystery ever be solved?




Emerald watched this scene with growing apprehension of the plot that was afoot. She made a dive for the sofa, but I caught her mid-jump and put a collar on her.

She received the GREEN bell for bravery and sort of patience
Emerald - how appropriate that she got the green bell - had a growling fit with her collar until she realized it was harmless and within a hour of tearing around the house to escape it, accepted it.


So Sassy's turn came next. She accepted the noisy thing with the dignity befitting a proper matron. She sat and glowered at the stray that was in the house, but then, she always glowers at the strays that come in the house...

These cat collar with bell are all breakaways and safe for the cats and the birds they stalk. Over the years that I have had cats, cat collars with bells have never presented a problem, for the cats or for us and after they get used to them, I've noticed that they don't seem to hear the bell anymore, but I do and that helps me to know where they are and what they're up to. I would never use these cat collar with bell if I did not believe them perfectly safe for my cats.


Both Molly and Sassy, who are veterans of cat collars with bells, are already used to them and spend their time as if they weren't wearing them. Emerald and Winston are, on the second day, more acquainted with them now so their has been no further dances in the living room or growly fits of tearing about the house. All is almost quiet on the homefront.

New Technology For A Cat Collar With Bell

There many people and pet owners nowadays who are concerned that a cat collar with bell is harmful to the cat. Being a cat owner myself, I have four of my own and at times, they have worn a cat collar with bell. There are mixed opinions that these collars are dangerous to the animal so the industry has produced break-away cat collar with bell. These have helped to save many a feline's life because they snap open, giving instant freedom, should the cat become entangled or trapped somewhere. Whether the entrapment is the result of the cat collar with bell itself or just the kitty being caught is unknown. What is known is cat collar with bell that are break-aways have saved lives.

Now there is a new type of cat collar with bell on the market that has become available online. In an effort to help counteract the escalating death rate of masses of wild bird species that are being slowly eradicated by our domesticated pets each year, this new cat collar with bell is a unique new technology. The cat collar with bell in fact sends an audio and visual alarm that is triggered by the cats own mobility when it propels itself at a bird, giving our feathered friends the critical time they need to escape. Seems the modulation of the audio alarm is menacing only to the birds but has no effect, harmful or otherwise, to cats or humans, making the purrfect cat collar with bell for your pet.

One survey out of the UK documents that up to 75 million fowl, of differing species, are dispatched every year by their 7.5 million domestic cat population; not only that but this alarming survey points to the fact that its the songbirds, like thrushes, that have endured the most unrelenting drop in their numbers in recent years. Because our felines employ varying methods to pursue their prey, these movements don't activate the alarm on the cat collar with bell so your pet cat can still stalk mice and rats without any impedance from the cat collar with bell.

Finally owners and lovers of our pet cats have the power to protect and preserve the birds that land in our baths and eat from the feeders we take such pains to put out each spring. We can now make their environment safer for them and for our cats without reducing the little carnivores instinctive behavior to hunt. Another perk is that you can purchase them as a cat collar with bell or without, as only 80 percent of them are fitted with bells. So, what am I going on about? Its called the Liberator®! Lightweight, about the mass of a matchbox, comfy and lasts a long time. Meticulously tested, it forewarns intended prey while at the same time doesn't diminish kitty's natural movements or responses. This new product was created as a reaction to investigative findings that cat collar with bell has absolutely no effect in curtailing the sheer volume of birds cats destroy each year.

The cat collar with bell or without, is £11.95 and a money-back guarantee, you can call the Liberator® hotline @ 01480 414012 to order. For more information go to
