On the numbers

The 41% and 34% figures come from RSPB research, not from Ancol or us, and they're population-level findings rather than a guarantee for any individual cat — some cats do adapt to hunting quietly around a bell over time.

Why we chose it

A bell is the cheapest thing on the shelf with an actual measured effect behind it, which is more than most 'wildlife-friendly' products can say. It's an easy add to any collar rather than a separate decision to weigh up.

Specifications

Brand: Ancol

Full description

A cat that hunts doesn't stop hunting because it's fed twice a day, and a bell is one of the few cheap things that measurably changes the outcome rather than just making an owner feel better about it.

This is a small warning bell that attaches to an existing cat collar, giving an audible jingle while the cat is hunting. RSPB research found that a cat wearing a collar bell catches 41% fewer birds and 34% fewer mammals.

Who it's for: owners of a cat that hunts, wanting a cheap, low-effort way to reduce — not eliminate — how much wildlife it catches.

Common questions

Does the bell definitely stop my cat hunting?

No — RSPB research shows it reduces catches on average, but it doesn't stop hunting entirely.

What's the source for the percentages?

RSPB research: 41% fewer birds and 34% fewer mammals caught by cats wearing a collar bell.

Does it fit any collar?

It's designed to attach to a cat collar generally.

Will my cat get used to the sound and hunt quietly anyway?

The makers don't address this specifically; the RSPB figures are averages rather than a guarantee for an individual cat.
