Here's something that I read about a while back...

Highlights
•
We tested the use of a novel cat collar in reducing bird and mammal mortality.

•
Cats wearing collars killed 19 times fewer birds than uncollared cats.

•
The Birdsbesafe® collar is highly effective at reducing bird deaths.

•
We strongly suggest its use for owned and feral cats, primarily in the spring.

•
The Birdsbesafe® collar is an effective conservation tool for use on domestic cats.
