Present from my cat.

Well, went downstairs to let the dogs outside and found the cat obsessing over something downstairs.

Found this hiding in a corner.

Will see if it's okay and let it go once I have both our cats in the house and locked away.

My cat bought in his 1st mouse the other morning. By that evening he had a collar with a bell on it

That was a lucky escape our cat just leaves a feathery corpse

I'm sure it just loved having it's photo taken with a scary bright flash too!

Antony101 · 25 Oct 2012 at 11:22

We keep putting bells on our cat and it keeps ripping them off whenever it can.

Also yeah, I managed to save it while the cat was in the "playing" phase.

I'd keep it tbh cus one day that thing's gonna be a Pidgeot and you'll never need the Airport again.

I'm laughing at this but I don't know why.

Do cats wear bells? Why ... would they do this? Is it what all the cool cats wear? (YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!)

One of my Neighbours cats has a bell on it's collar. Apart from me hearing it moving around during the night when the windows are open, the things become a nervous wreck as it is constantly being attacked by other cats who know exactly where it is at all times.

Best comment ive read in ages

I wouldn't put a collar on a cat, they're far more likely to get stuck when they're out prowling.

They can also really hurt themselves if they get their rear leg stuck in the collar. Since they struggle to get out and panic

Then it can become a house cat. Problem solved.

Owww! I would 'bell' my cat but she wont wear a collar and sod paying £3 a time when she decides to rip it off in disgust.

IMO cats are gonna catch small animals that go squeak or chirrup. Its in their nature to hunt. You own a cat, expect to have furry or feathery presents...

Just wait till it brings bats in - yeap my cat catches BATS!!!! :eek:

That is not something that you may want to admit too, some Bats in the UK probably have more legal rights than you do.

Nothing I can do about it - she wont wear a bell.

Both bats were released, unharmed, by the Bats Protection League and both representatives said its a pretty common occurrence and were very surprised that the bats in question were not mauled to death by my kitty :shrugs:

Yeah, it happens. Rescue, wait for cat to forget about it and release.
