Cat bell

A cat bell is a bell attached to the collar of a cat.

The bell will warn potential preys of the cat's approach. Cats eventually learn to walk without ringing the bell and pet owners are therefore encouraged to regularly change the bell or attach two bells on the collar.

Attaching a bell on a cat's collar will reduce the amount of captured birds by 30%—40%.

However, some animal care organizations also claim that the bell annoys the cat, and is ineffective because of cat's hunting behaviour.
