This often results in a substantial decrease in the number of native animals killed by individual cats overall. Cats that are kept in at night also live longer than those that are not. This is because they are not out fighting or mating with other cats or contracting diseases from them. Road accidents are also a major cause of death for domestic cats, so keeping them in at night greatly reduces this risk. Fit your cat with a collar and two bells, one on either side of the name tag so that potential prey are warned of the cats approach.
Many cats continue to hunt successfully with a single bell.
A second bell can reduce its chances of success. If you decide to purchase a cat, visit the Hobart Cat Centre . You can save one of these cats by providing it with a good home.
