is it okay to put on collars with bells on my cats?

[Alya N]

well, i decided not to put collars on them at first.
but i changed my mind because there's a lot of stray cats in my area, and i really don't want my cats to be regarded as one of them.
and, the reason i bought the collars with bells is because they showed up from everywhere, from the windows, under the bed, under the table, and a lot more!
this really freaked my family out.

so, my point here is, is the bell disturbing the cats nature?
but, my cats were still able to catch its prey (mouse) and brought it in our house.
personally, i think it's okay.
what do you think?

I would put bells on my cats collars because its stop them killing native wildlife. Like little birds and things. It doesnt disturb cats nature, it just lets birds and things know that they are there.

We would put collars with bell on our cats all the time. The cats had no problem with them. They would play, lick themselves, and even hunt mice with no problem. However, having three cats running around with bells around their necks drove us crazy so we just cut them of the collar and problem solved.

Its cute but having a flashy collar that doesn't make noise makes the cat easy to identify also no?

cats cope just fine with belled collars,

saves local wildlife too cos they cant go around murdering birds and possums. the bell gives them away and thats the point

The bells will pretty much kill your cats ability to do what its instincts tell it to do and HUNT!!!!!

No i think it's mean they'd probably get annoyed, would you like a bell around your neck 24/7? not being mean just proving a point. =D

The best thing you could do is keep your cats in the house.

Well my one cat never minded it however the other one really hated having a bell on his collar [so it depends on you cat]. I believe the reason they made collars with bells in the first place is so that the noise would warn wildlife that a cat was approaching.
