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.

Um...how about keeping your cats indoors? Then there is no problem and no need for another tchotchke. Collars can catch on things and accidentally hang cats.

IMO the solution is: birds fly, cats don't.......

Pretty simple to me.

My cat is an inside car. I don't at her run over by a car or carried off by a hawk.

Jeez, I’ve heard it all when supposedly sane people start talking about cats “murdering” birds. They don’t murder, they kill. They kill because they’re predators and nature made them pretty efficient ones. I like them as pets but feral ones are a problem, they’re going to do what nature designed them to do. I don’t doubt that they reduce the number of birds because most of them are pretty good at killing.

I live in the country and years ago we had three cats. A feral tomcat showed up one day and my wife started feeding it. It would run the other cats off of the food and after a few days one of our cats came up lame, it was limping because of its hind leg. I told my wife I needed to shoot the feral but she didn’t want it shot. The next day a second one of our cats was limping and the day after that the first lame one disappeared never to be seen again. My wife’s attitude changed to “shoot that effing thing!!!” which is what I should have done day one. It quickly soaked up a .22 LR bullet.

Cats are what they are and have to be controlled whether that be by keeping them inside or through other means. Not all outdoor cats are uncontrollable but if they get too destructive sometimes you’ve got to step in an take care of it.

Ummm...calling it “bird murders” when cats follow their instincts just plays into the leftist dogma...more worried about birds than babies who are actually murdered by sentient beings while in/partially in the womb. Next up, they be in Africa railing against eland murders committed by lions...

Wife and I both love watching birds and I really used to like squirrels. With outside cats, squirrels are gone and birds are few. It’s a choice of having birds and squirrels to watch, or having mice finding ways of chewing into hour home.

I wonder what the figures are re: solar panel and windmill bird killing.

Wonder what the rat population would do without cats?
