Last week our youngest kitten (nearly 6 months old) was neutered and micro chipped. They are all micro chipped and indoors. Also they are finally getting a long okay with no hissing or real fights. Ollie's head injury is healing and I can stroke him and the scabby area without him reacting...
So after researching the idea of removing the bell from their collars as they are now big enough and sensible enough to not be stepped on. But in the end I have been convinced to remove the collars completely as they are always scratching at the collars and I get the impression they really dislike them. All the cats seem ecstatic at the collar removal and rolled around the floor. Now they've gone to sleep.
Charlie jumps at noises so I'm not sure whether hearing the bell alarms him or if he'd prefer the others having bells so they can't sneak up on him. I've read so many contradicting things on the internet so really not sure. The bells are useful for finding the boys but a hidden cat is pretty silent anyway and late at night their movements and noise can be annoying. What are peoples opinions on this?
