What's a good bell to put on my cat's collar?
Putting a bell on your cat is a good way to stop it from
killing smaller animals. There is simply no way you can train your
cat not to bring dead things into the house.
Cats are natural predators, and they are going to hunt things whether you like
it or not. For many owners, this is disconcerting - they don't want birds or
mice to die because of their otherwise friendly cat.
The best option in this situation is to put a bell on your cat's collar. It will make it less likely that the cat will be able to sneak up on another animal - cats generally cannot kill their prey successfully unless they can get close enough to pounce on them without being noticed. The bell will jingle as they try to creep up on them, giving the cat away and giving the other animal time to run away.
Aristo Metallic Bells cost about a buck and are available online here.
