Designed to help protect the birds in your garden and your neighbourhood from the natural hunting instincts of your cat.

Now with Shiny Holographic Tape - it's reflective surface that catches the light and effortlessly attracts the attention of birds.

 

This Reflective Tape is highly visible when a light source is pointed at the Cat Scrunchie such as torch or car headlights. 

I recommend all cats are kept inside at night to keep them safe and help protect all sorts of creatures that they may hunt at night ( when the Cat Scrunchie doesn't work) however if your cat is out at night and you want a way to help it be seen in a light source this is they Cat Scrunchie for you. 

Also available without reflective tape here.

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. Also unlike a bell (which cat can learn to silence by moving smoothly ) your cat can't work around wearing the Cat Scrunchie.

Article about the research on its effectiveness here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-20/scrunchies-prevent-wildlife-death-study-finds/6337222

"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.


Regards
Linda Parker"

Clown collar kittys

I was a tad worried the kidd would be irritated by the larger colars but they are still there normal weird wonderful selves . Bird corpse numbers have dropped by about 90 percent since so big improvement . Tofe was belly up rolling around minutes after her collar went on.

Love this!

Bought this to try as we'd brought a smaller one from somehwere else but our cat is too fluffy for it to be seen! The long haired cats one is perfect and we've had no birds brought in either (we were getting 1-2 a day!). He's super fluffy and hadn't worn a collar before but has mostly been ok with it. Would highly recommend.

Hunting deterrence at its cutest

Bought two of these to go with the soft collars. Boy cat has still bought mice home, but thankfully no birds that I am aware of.
Very handsome little jester collars, that stay on and are soft enough for cats to sleep in.

Works like a charm!

My cat is such a prolific hunter and was always bringing birds into the house, but this has legit been such a good solution! He hasn’t caught a single bird since having it, except for some poor young ones in summer who hadn’t quite learnt how to fly. Highly recommend 👌🏼 The reflective strips are helpful for finding him in the dark too!

Scrunchie

I only just received the collar but my cat is happy to wear it and no more birds so far

Effective so far!

We are really happy with the collars and it’s an innovative and really logical and easy way to preserve bird life. It’s been a great deterrent and the cats don’t even notice they’re wearing them. Genius concept!!!

Works Like a Charm

I decided to try this collar because my kitten is a master hunter - the day I ordered this, she'd caught 2 birds before 12pm. She's been wearing her scrunchie for two weeks now and we have not had a single incident!
This bird safe scrunchie is fantastic, 1000000% worth the purchase

Scrunchie and bell are brilliant

Since Lucy got her scrunchie and louder bell 6 months ago she hadn't caught a single bird ( or anything else). She has never minded wearing it. I've just bought a second one so I can wash the first.

Wonderful scrunchie

Wow perfect fit and the reflection really works,Raven has it on for the first time and does not bother her at all. Also she was not a big cat nip fan, but she took to the toy straight away👍

Love the collar!!

So grateful we purchased this collar. Cat totally fine wearing it. No bird deaths in the yard since. Long may it continue!

Good products

I was worried that the scrunchie would annoy my cat but he doesn’t mind wearing it. Haven’t seen dead birds since.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous

What can I say about the colorful frilly collar Archie now wears when he goes out to play? Well, genius invention comes to mind immediately. I have a real bird phobia and coming across LITTLE LIONS has been absolutely wonderful for my nerves, for the birds, and ultimately for Archie as I was tending to keep him in a lot. Since having his collar there hasn't been one fatality, in fact the birds know he's around and they steer clear of him. I think he's realized he might as well give up. He has not rejected the collar and is very comfortable wearing it as you can see by the laid back chin scratch hes looking for on my knee. I totally 100% recommend the collar and recommend Little Lions for their prompt and excellent service. I will be a customer for a very very long time.

Stopping Rata from bringing in birds

The scrunchie has worked 100% and I no longer wake up to birds, feathers etc throughout my house. I know this for sure as I forgot to put it on one night and, yes, a dead bird awaited me. I now keep it on all the time.
THANK YOU!!!

SCRUNCHIE & BELLS

Hi there, I recently invested in 2 of these. My cat is an avid bird hunter & I could not take a 2nd season of burying baby birds or chasing the cat to drop them. Heartbreaking. So, everyday, Tully-Gumble has her scrunchie put on. So far, no more birds! The bells you provide are excellent. Nice & loud. I love knowing where she is most of the time. Brilliant idea. Fantastic product. Already have 2 & will soon get more. Thanks Helen for a great tool to keep the birds safe. PS: my DOG loves the cat toys...Fish, Kickers etc. (Cat, not so much LOL)

Great product, great service!

Our little monster is still quite the apex predator! But has more misses than catches these days. He doesn’t seem to mind his colourful adornment, actually patiently waits for it to be put on by dad after his breakfast (probably because a few more bikkies are to follow) - an ingenious idea, every cat should have one!

He still caught two birds but it’s not the collars fault!

This collar has been a game changer for my lovely but mischievous cat, who used to catch birds constantly. As someone terrified of birds, it was awful waking up to find one—alive or not—in the house. It was especially hard because my elderly father, who isn’t very mobile, often had to deal with them. Since getting the collar, the only times my cat has caught a bird were late at night or early morning. Adding a bell to the collar solved that problem, and now no birds have been injured! I can finally walk around without anxiously checking the floor. Great purchase, and my cat looks adorable wearing it too!

Cat Scrunchie with Bell

Around two months ago I decided to purchase this scrunchie as my cat was bringing in birds every other day. The effectiveness of this collar is amazing, she hasn’t caught a single bird so far to my knowledge and seems to enjoy wearing it! Would highly recommend to any cat owners.

Scrunchies and bells

Very happy with the scrunchies and bells we received for our two little hunters. Well made, good instructions and the bells are loud! The cats don't seem to mind them. The birds are squawking their beaks off now, no more sneak attacks 😄

Great idea!

My kitten has adjusted quickly to wearing the scrunchie and it does seem to be very effective so far! The reflective tape is a bonus for seeing her in low light and the bell is the best I've bought. Prompt delivery and excellent quality as well.

Brilliant!

My cat has been wearing his collar cover for two weeks and hasn't caught a single bird! He was getting at least one a day beforehand. Well made and shipped quickly! Bonus is I think he looks adorable
