The Cat Scrunchie Bird Protector is designed to help protect birds in your garden and neighbourhood from the natural hunting instincts of your cat.

Now with Shiny Holographic Tape
The tape provides a reflective surface in contrast to the ruffle collar colours that catches the light in a different manner and effortlessly attracts the attention of birds, thwarting your cat's bird hunting activities.

How do cat collar scrunchies stop cats from catching birds?
Birds are genetically predisposed to look for bright colours when looking for food and they will therefore see this brightly coloured Cat Scrunchie ( and that it is a cat) moving much earlier and have time to move away rather than be ambushed.

Why don't bells work to keep birds safe from cats?

Cats can learn to move smoothly while hunting to keep even loud cat collar bells silent, making them ineffective at protecting birds from cats. Your cat can't work around wearing the Cat Scrunchie as the bright colours can't be silenced. Most birds that are likely to be killed by cats have eyes on the sides of their heads, allowing for constant horizontal peripheral vision of 300-340 degrees or more, and 180 degrees vertically, alerting them to bright colours from most directions without having to move their heads.

 

Does my cat need to wear a collar to wear a Cat Scrunchie ?

Yes, the Scrunchie is held in place by having a normal quick release collar threaded through it.

Will any Cat collar work in the Scrunchie ?

Yes any cat collar will work, however I always recommend only using a quick release collar for cats to avoid injury as it will break open if it gets caught on anything (eg a tree branch).

Does the size of my cat matter when choosing a Cat Scrunchie ?

No, the Scrunchies are designed to fit all cats the only difference is the length of fur your cat has - long haired cats need a little more width on the Scrunchie to be seen over all that extra fluff.

"Just wanted to let you know how successful the scrunchie has been.  We've gone from one or two birds daily, declining to one a week and more recently, zero dead bodies in the bedroom for many weeks.

We have never had a cat that hunts like Minnie so it was very distressing. Your colourful collar is an absolute success. Thank you."
