Look, we just don't want you demolishing the local bird population. Here, have a little pepperoni. As a treat.

Just don't let your cat outside! Ours almost killed itself with that.

PSA don't put a fucking dog collar on your cat.

I've seen this too many times.

[–] gravitas_deficiency 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What about a regular dog collar?

Why? Genuinely asking have only ever had dogs.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Dog collars don't break away when tugged on, which is good because they're used to attach a leash. It's problematic for cats though because cats like to climb on things, and if their collar catches on something, it can choke them if they fall or try to jump down.

Cat collars are designed with this in mind. They have a buckle that will release if pulled on with enough force, so they won't choke your cat if they get stuck on something.

TL;DR dog collars can choke cats

Oh interesting I never knew that thanks

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

What if I'm dummy thicc and the clapping of my ass cheeks keeps alerting all the small birds and rodents anyway?

Can I has a bit of collar, as a treat?

do not bell da cat !! (i will be sad)

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

We had several cats that would constantly ambush each other, to solve this (and the cats running under my blind roommates feet) we put bells on each of them. Took less than 2 weeks for them to to be able to ambush each other again with out a single jingle from the bells

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

we bought a collar with a bell for our cat to stop her from killing birds in our neighborhood. Fucker taught herself how to walk so the bell wouldn't ring and alert the birds.

She's getting old now so there's no energy for messing with birds so that issue fixed itself, but still...

Pls any other kitties you house, don’t let them outside, birbs are never ready for invasive species

Glad old girl has lost the murder but is still doing well tho!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Actually it's vitally important if you're going to have an outdoor catgirl. Otherwise they'll decimate the local birdgirl population.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

This is why I feed my catgirl til she's too fat to climb trees.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I like that this implies that there are catgirls out there in like thigh highs and maid costumes desperately trying to catch birds and lizards and shit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

And if you put a cucumber behind them they freak out... That's not a euphemism!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

I just don't like the buttons on the back. If those were gone, then I'd be okay with it... And probably like it
