Interesting development of a helpful product that the developers field-tested in several countries, markedly reducing bird murders by domestic cats wearing the affordable devices they created, based on cats' superior ability to see color.

Note: I am not affiliated in any way with these developers or the company or product.

Here is the web site of the device, where you will find a 2-minute video of birds and cats.

The daughter’s cats have moved on. I plan on getting a kitten in a few years, and cats here live outside a lot. I do have a large bird feeding station, so I will definitely get the collar for the new cat.

Need outside cats to catch the mice before they come inside.

Growing up decades ago, we had an orange tabby, kinda wirey in build, named Rusty.

Sweetest cat to humans. If you took your fingers, while standing straight up, and rubbed up and down on your chest, he’d jump right up in your arms to be snuggled.

Squirrels, birds, mice, rabbits, snakes......he’d take them all out. Very bad-ass hunter.

We had a wonderful hunting cat named Dominic. My wife made a wall chart tally sheet for voles, chipmunks, rabbits, birds, mice, etc. for our young children to learn about counting things. He probably didn’t share all his kills with us. Unfortunately, he met his demise early due to a sad adventure hunting a road vehicle.

Our next cat, Martin, was more circumspect. However, when we went away (neighbor girl fed him). We found two dead full sized rabbits in the basement that he defeated, dragged through the pet flap and left in the basement as trophies.

I wish my boy would kill the bird before he brought them inside. By the time he is done there are feathers all around the house.

From histoplasmosis to West Nile - over 60 diseases that are carried by birds. A bird killing cat may just save your life.

On the other hand, jays and mockingbirds love to harass cats for entertainment. And hawks and owls are predators.

These people are looney. Do they have any idea why there is a cycle of life and how one predator keeps another species from running rampant causing all sorts of other problems?

I would invite these fools to hang around a farm barn without cats and see the destruction birds can do.

These are the same idiots that think you shouldn’t control the animal population by regulating hunting but they have no problem killing babies.

Cat kills bird= murder
Mom kills baby= choice to be guarded at any cost

Sick sick sick people, insane really.
