Tribal Stripes, Rainbow Sally Cat Collar Covers + Breakaway Collar

These cat collars really work to prevent my cat from killing birds! Bright, beautiful, and high quality collars & sleeves.

This collar cover works phenomenally well for our fluffy little bird murderer, but of course it's not a foolproof solution. You have to think about it in relative terms. We were typically seeing one or two dead songbirds per day on our doorstep, but in the past four months since buying the collar cover we have seen a total of six. Four of those were in fledgling season, with baby birds that hadn't quite gotten their wits about them. When we realized this, we kept our cat indoors for two weeks until the little ones were mostly out of their nests.I'm really surprised at some of the reviewers rated the product badly just because their cats continued to kill a few birds. Even if the benefit is small for those cats, isn't it worthwhile? The collars aren't expensive and the cats don't seem to mind wearing them. The only 100% foolproof solution is to keep the cats indoors, which is often not a good option.A few more comments: We live in an area with a lot of ticks, and our cat is allergic to flea and tick medication so she attracts about four or five per day. The ticks love to hide under the collar so we have to examine our cat quite carefully, and remove the collar every couple of days to make sure we are not missing any of the nasty little buggers.The collar cover gets a bit dirty so I recommend hand washing it every 2-3 weeks. We have just purchased a second cover so we have a spare while the other is being washed and dried.Our cat has short hair, so the collar is quite visible. I imagine that it might not be as effective on a very fluffy cat.We are seeing more dead mice and voles on our doorstep since using the collar cover – I think our cat has figured out that she now has an easier time pursuing rodents.The quality is excellent - we are not seeing any wear and tear. The colors have begun to fade slightly, but that's not surprising after four months of constant use outdoors and several washings.If I could afford it, I would buy 1000 of these and give them away to everyone I know with an outdoor cat. Think of the difference we can all make if we use these collar covers and spread the word.

I have ordered five or six of these collars. I have two cats and once in a while they'll come home without it on having caught it in a branch or something else . I always keep a couple extras on hand. It has cut down on the bird kill drastically. What seemed like a daily occurrence is now maybe once or twice a month. I also sew the largest bells I can find that are made with a separate sodered piece on top of them. They ring the best and the loudest but they're hard to find. I have to order them online because I can't find them in any store. The stores carries very cheap bells where you just put the string through a piece that they have bulged out from the actual bell . I prefer the ones that have the separate added piece that is sodered on the top of the bell as they hang better and they make much more noise. I can't say enough good about this collar . I never let my cats go outside without them. I also make sure I use a breakaway collar inside these collar covers so they won't hang themselves on it. You will not regret this purchase. Because they roll in the street so much I have to wash them sometimes at night when they're not allowed out. They both sit at the door and wait every morning knowing that they have to get their collars on them.They seem very proud with this bright red polkadotted collar and they sure look cute. All of the neighbors have commented about how cute they look and ask why they're wearing them. I try and educate as many people as I can about how much and how well they down on the killing of birds.Unfortunately they don't work and lizards so I still get my gifts every once in a while. Luckily they bring him to me unharmed.

Very expensive when they lose it! Going to have some made for cheap! Cannot afford those very time but they seem to work somewhat. Mine has birds in mouth at times. Had someone make a bunch they’re a piece of cloth! NOT worth the price but get the pattern!:)

I bought this for my bird-murdering cat after seeing this product appear on all sorts of different articles about cats who murder birds. It seems to work as no birds have been murdered since it arrived.My cat does not leave the yard and doesn't spend a whole lot of time outside, so I can't speak to how well it holds up for wanderers. It slips around a collar (note that it DOES NOT come with a collar) -- I bought one with a bell after reading a few customers' recommendations. It's a little annoying that it doesn't come with a collar, but oh well.My cat forgets how to cat for a minute when I put it on, but she gets over it quickly and it doesn't seem to bother her (she's generally a good sport, though, with the exception of her bird murdering ways).
