This week the New York Times Magazine "The Ethicist" column was titled "What Should I Do about my Bird-Killing Cat?" Columnist Kwame Anthony Appiah tackled the topic, offering Birdsbesafe cat collars as one of the ways to reduce cat predation on birds if you let your cat outdoors.
This is Alice patiently waiting for me to open the door. The collar has been very effective in preventing her from getting birds.
Here are some photos of my cat, Fish, wearing his Birdsbesafe collar! 😀 He is on Instagram at @fish_the_kat and we'll be happy to share if you tag him if you post something there!
Here are a few photos of Loki in his collar. I can't find photos of him outside wearing his collars - tho' of course he does and that's why we purchase Birds Be Safe collars!!
We LOVE the collars!!!!!
Since wearing the collars, he has only caught two birds in two or three years - can't remember when we first got the collars.
He does lose them time to time - and also I have found them in the yard, lol. I throw them in the wash and air dry - they come out great!
I love changing the collars for the season.
If you had a seasonal pack - maybe set of four - I bet it would sell well!
I'm happy to provide a testimonial. WE LOVE OUR COLLARS! And I tell everyone about them!!
FYI, we have a second cat - she is a wanderer and wears a tracker - it's been too hard to do both birdsbesafe collar and tracker -- plus she isn't a hunter like Loki. We had a third cat who passed. I wish I'd known about the collar sooner bec she was a very skilled hunter. She wore her collar in last season of life.
We are animal lovers - birds, cats, bees, etc.! My yard is planted with many CA natives and I do what I can to support wildlife. Also, impossible to keep cats inside bec laundry room is outside and other complexities.
Our cat unfortunately is a great bird-hunter.. BUT it seem that your collar cover is working very well. We never find dead birds in the garden anymore - which I assume is a good sign ❤️ The downside is that the collar fabric ain´t (as we know) either organic, fairtrade og recycled. We would encourage you to use organic and fair-trade alternative. Preferably recycled if that would be possible 🫶🏼 This will also help birds and people struggling with loss of habitats and environmental issues caused by conventional cotton-production.
