I know this is just nature being red in tooth and claw, but my neighbour's cat has bloody gone and terrorised a starling baby bird. Scores of starlings are now screeching about my house. It's unnecessary for a cat to kill for pleasure. Please let your cat wear a bell to try to stop this kind of thing happening. Not sure if the little thing is dazed or bitten and therefore probably infected with deadly bacteria. It's the last thing I need. Nero

Cats should wear bells in order to allow my sound-guided chaingun garden accessory to turn them into a pretty Jackson Pollock of red and pink textured smears.


Huguenot,


in a bid to save the cats of east Dulwich from your felicidic tendencies I implore you to take out your artistic frustrations here instead. You'll need your mouse though;-)


Jackson Pollock

This is a particular bugbear of my husbands', he hates it when he sees cats maiming/killing birds. I remember a few years back when after my then 8 year old hearing one of my husbands rants, knocked next door and told my (snotty) neighbour that they should put a bell on their cat as it was killing our wildlife. She informed him that HER CAT would never commit such an horrendous deed. About a week later we saw her husband take a bird out of said cats mouth and throw it behind their shed!!


It should be law to wear a bell say I!!

Yes I agree completely. And teenage girls should all be made to throw away any clothes that display their toned abdominal areas. Loose fitting polo shirts should be worn by all of them - by law. And men should not ever wear sandals if they have hairey toes...

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
