I've just recently adopted a very small and very michevious 7-8 week old kitten who, on his first day in his new home got himself stuck so far up the inside of the sofa that we were convinced for hours he'd been accidentally left outside. He didn't seem distressed about it, but I was beside myself.
I've since fitted him with a collar with 2 small bells basically so I can hear where he is. I know I'm being overprotective, but I'm currently in a situation where I've lost access to my other pets due to marriage separation. This little guy is my comfort and my reason for waking up. Sob! I know, wrong forum - Just to give a bit of context as to why I feel the bell is necessary.
What are people's opinions? Are bells on collars cruel? It doesn't seem to bother him. He's just as active and playful with it off.
