If you're a cat owner in the US, take heed

@DazzaTheHutt kinda true as they can still catch mice with the bell on their neck

@DazzaTheHutt Our cat had a bell that I could not touch without it tinkling. He, on the other paw, could walk so softly that it would not make a sound and anyway when he was in the mood to catch anything that flew he would just sit stock still until the victim was within leaping distance. He was so fast that by the time the victim heard the bell he already had it in his paws or jaws. I once saw him catch a bat just by sitting still under the trees and then stretching up a paw to claw one out of the air.
