Birdsbesafe® Rainbow Sally Cat Collar Cover for Bird - Bird Warning Cat Collar, Scientifically Proven to Help Prevent Your Cat from Catching Birds - Please Purchase Breakaway Collar Separately

My black cat goes out in the backyard and was sneaking up on birds way too easily. This helps the birds spot him more easily AND even has a reflective edge that helps him stand out in the dark. It fits a standard break away collar perfectly, seems to be made of a durable fabric, and is comfortable for him to wear.

Simply put, this collar works. Lilly-Bell the cat is so sweet, but takes her main job as farm shop mouser seriously. No luck explaining to her that birds are off limits. We have been using these collars for many months, and it has been 99% percent effective for protecting birds (the 1 bird may not have been her fault - at least that's what Lilly-Bell said). Doesn't seem to affect mouser productivity. We went from multiple birds per week to effectively zero. We use it with a plastic buckled collar for her safety, and about every two - three months she manages to lose the cover and collar. We usually can find the cover at night in the bushes using a flashlight - it glows. We do put little bells on it, which may be some help. I think it's sort of trained her that birding is not productive - even when she's lost it and we haven't yet found the cover, she is not bird hunting. This has been a solid buy for us. We now keep a couple on hand in case we don't immediately find the one she was wearing.

These adorable collars are perfect for inside/outside kitties. I've noticed a reduction in critters at the doorstep, especially birds. Our neighbor attracts a lot of birds in thir garden and and use sqirtguns to keep our kitties out, but ca t protect thier garden all the time. We're able to spot cats in these collars and the reflective lining helps at night. Both our kitties hate wearing collars, however when they're wearing these. They seem to walk around proud like they grew a mane overnight. I think because whenever one kitty loses thiers or its taken off. The other kitty wearing the collar seems to become the dominant cat in thier play fights.

Okay it has been effective but for the price it’s not what I expected. Given the price of this piece of cloth and the length of time it took for me to get it I realized I had not truly read the description. This is a literal piece of cloth that goes over your existing cat collar. I had imagined something that was more like a light scrunchie that went around the cats neck. It has certainly been effective at preventing the cat capturing birds but it is not something that can be left on all the time because it prevents the cat from effectively drinking water because it gets in the way . The other issue that I had not considered was with a long-haired cat , the hair just covers up the collar- you can see in the picture that you can’t even see it with my cat. Great idea but so so execution on the product.

I’m very disappointed in this product. It’s difficult to put onto your cat’s collar. It’s just a simple long tube of fabric you could easily make yourself. I thought it would be gathered like a scrunchy but no. Our cat goes out multiple times a day so we are have to go through the process of threading the collar through this each time. When we take the collar off the birdsafe resumes it’s long tubular shape. We don’t know if it works because we got tired of the inconvenience and gave up. Waste of money.

Works well my cat does not even know he has it on and has stopped him from catching birds

I ordered this for my bird killing cat. It works and makes him look very cute. My only concern with it is that it bleeds all over my cat's neck It is a red collar and he still has a very red/pink neck a week after I took it off. Granted, he is a cat that likes the outdoors even when it is raining. I'd suggest taking it off for rain as it makes his neck soaking wet. If you have a dirty cat like I do (one who loves to roll and get wet), this collar will quickly be filthy. I haven't tried washing it is in the machine, but it does hand wash. Wish it didn't turn my white cat pink/red. Minus this problem, I would suggest that this is a fabulous idea. Washing machine instructions would be helpful! We are alternating between multiple bells and this collar, but the bells are winning out as being effective as well and don't get wet/dirty. I was hoping to use both and still will in between washings if the pink/red staining stops.

My kitty just showed up at my door one day. She was an outdoor girl but very friendly and came inside. I tried to find a previous owner, but no luck. So I kept her. All of my cats have always been indoor only, but she was so used to being outside that I couldn't keep her in for very long. In the meantime, she was killing all kinds of animals. I didn't mind the shrews, but the birds upset me. She killed something every day, even a squirell! I tried a collar with a bell but it didn't work. When she killed a dove I was very upset and that's when I found this collar. She has not killed any birds since she started wearing the collar. The only thing that she has left me so far is a cicada. I also noticed that she isn't as desperate to go back out after she has been in and will play inside instead. I am hoping that as the birds are harder to catch she is getting less reinforcement for hunting and this will discourage her from hunting them.

My cat doesn't mind wearing this at all in spite of looking a little like a clown. But the birds in my neighbourhood are safe.

My cat is happy to wear it - she has previously lost collars within hours! It hasn't stopped her climbing the trees either. However, it has had no effect. Sadly, she has caught 4 birds (of differing breeds) within 3 days despite this collar cover and a bell on her collar.

I can't say it for sure keeps the birds away but it does make kitty's head more visible to them. It looks a bit like a clown collar and is cute. It includes a glow in the dark edge and is washable. The only tiny downside is that he can't wash himself as well as if he was just wearing a regular collar. The solution is to just take it off for part of each day.

Doesn't work. My cat had it on the first time and the same day she caught a bird again.

These collars are fantastic. My cat loves being outdoors, but unfortunately also loves killing birds. Before we started using the collars, he brought home birds on a regular basis - now, never. They are so worth it. Also love that they have a reflective stripe.
