- 1). Attach a bell to your cat's collar. This will alert any prey that your cat is within the vicinity. The bell alerts birds and mice that your cat is near without causing any real inconvenience for your cat.
- 2). Try a sonic collar if your cat learns to hunt stealthily. These collars are more durable and dependable as far as alerting birds.
- 3). Keep your cat indoors during dusk and dawn, when small animals are most active. In addition, keeping your cat inside at night will prevent it from acting out on its nocturnal hunting instinct.
- 4). Attract many birds to your garden. While this advice might seem contradictory, the website Our Happy Cat suggests that by having more birds in your garden, you increase their survival rate because of the large population. They alert each other to any predator's presence.
- 5). Feed your cat. While there is some speculation on whether a cat will hunt less if it is fed, you should always make sure your cat has enough food.
