Chumleigh and Little Dorrit
A year ago I purchased 2 CatAlert collars for my cats (see photo of
Chumleigh and Little Dorrit sporting their collars). These are no longer
working and I am interested in obtaining some more. I kept detailed records
for a while of their victims which I eventually sent to the Royal Society
for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). I found the collars reduced the number
of bird kills from about 2 a day to about 3 a week, although the collars
seemed to have no significant effect on mammals or reptiles (or
dragonflies!). Still, a great success though. I also think that the cat's
don't seem to try as hard, knowing that their chances are much reduced!

New Zealand Moggie changes her
diet.
My cat, Sheba, hasn't caught any birds
since she has been wearing her CatAlert collar.
Before that she was bringing in a bird once or twice each
day.

Jesse the Outlaw
Cat
Before I took Jesse in he had fed himself
most of the time on the wildlife in the area, and I feel sure
he would still prefer fresh bird to cat food. After he
arrived, he used to bring a bird into my home almost daily -
initially they were live gifts but later were presented half
eaten. I sought the advice of the Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds (RSPB), of which I am a member, and they
told me about the CatAlert collar. I am pleased to say that
Jesse has not, to my knowledge, caught a single bird since he
started wearing it at the beginning of June 2003.
Jesse was very large and temperamental and could
inflict a serious bite - I have the scars and the anti-tetanus
jabs to prove it. Although he took to wearing the collar
straight away I had to wear leather gloves to put it on. He
has switched his diet to normal cat food now and has even
begun to calm down and demonstrate his affection - by biting
me with less vigour.
Many thanks for an excellent
product and service.

The Malmsbury
Moggie
This mog's name is Monty and he shares
his house with two other older cats(The bully Charlie and the
aged Dennis), and humans Bob and Linda. He is very fortunate
to have a very large garden directly backing onto
fields.
Over the last three months he has normally
dined on about 3 birds per week. More if they are
youngsters.
Not a very scientific experiment but so far:
-
Time wearing CatAlert collar = 14 days and
attributable bird dinners = 0.
He still visits the
'Mice R Yours' supermarket during the night.

PS YES we do feed him, but the
name of the cat food must be withheld in case it influences
the market! |
