My neighbor told me to put a bell on my cat... and she was totally right

My cat, Mittens, is a real hunter and kept bringing me 'gifts' from the backyard... like three mice last week. My neighbor, Linda, said to put a bell on her collar so the birds and mice could hear her coming. I tried it about a month ago, and the 'gifts' have completely stopped. She still goes out, but now she just comes back and yells at me for her dinner instead. Has anyone else had this work so well, or did your cat just figure out how to move without jingling?

Nice! My cat just got better at stalking and now I'm funding a tiny bell industry.

Funding a tiny bell industry is such a mood. My cat figured out how to walk without jingling them, so I had to upgrade to those jingle ball collars. It's a whole arms race.

Oh man, I gave up and just let mine win that fight. How's the jingle ball working out?
