Put a bell on your cat! Outdoor cats are responsible for a huge amount of ecological devastation, the least you can do, if you insist on your predator roaming freely outdoors, is put a bell on it to try and give local species a warning.
- alexo67 3y agoDo not put a bell on your cat, like ever. It is harmful to your cat's health.
- Garrrrrr 3y agoIt could be harmful to your cat's health if they don't like the noise of the bell. Not all cats are bothered by it though
- nomel 3y agoThe risk isn't the sound, it's catching on something. But, there are bells that are integrated into the collar, to prevent this.
- wkat4242 3y agoThey don't even work anyway. The cats are so good at walking without wobbling and the bells aren't loud anyway.
- VoodooJuJu 3y agoCats don't cause ecological devastation. Cats as a species kill an emotionally large sum of birds and small mammals, but they don't radically transform ecosystems. It's human industry and habitat expansion that devastates ecologies, not their garden prowlers plucking the occasional bird or chipmunk. I'd never bell the lad.
- kian 3y agoOnly do this if you are certain that zero predators live in your surrounding area.
- postsantum 3y agoSeconding this. OP, by letting your pet to roam around and have fun you are contributing to the local fauna's extinction. I hate to see how Australia[1] is responding to this issue but something needs to be done [1] https://theconversation.com/australian-shelters-and-pounds-kill-50-000-mostly-healthy-cats-and-kittens-in-a-year-theres-a-way-to-prevent-this-pointless-killing-201947 https://theconversation.com/australian-shelters-and-pounds-k...
