Cat Collars: Your FAQ Answered
When we designed the Birdsbesafe® collar cover, we wanted you to be able to use any cat collar that you liked. We still think this is a good idea: your cat may do well with a style of collar that wouldn't work as well for a different cat. Some cats are smaller, larger, stronger, more active, or (sigh) Houdini like in their ability to lose cat collars. Here are some pointers to help you pick a collar that will bring you success!

Birdsbesafe: Summer in North America
Summer is so precious where we live and work, in Vermont. Every day, songbirds sing outside our offices: the wood thrush and veery are some our common musical performers. Yes, it is the woodlands, and we are lucky. We are surrounded by birds. And for the 4th of July, on a nearby lake, we saw a Bald Eagle, an Osprey, and a Kingfisher. I missed seeing the Common Loon, but it was seen, too. NOTES: Birdsbesafe company activities proceed at their fast summer pace. Here are some notes that may interest you.

Read one or both for a good overview of why the impact of cats on birds is an important wildlife issue. The first article describes the use of "catios" and other ways to mediate the impact of cats on wildlife. It was written by staff of WildCare in Marin County.
