Freedom!

A bid for freedom detected... Our neighbourhood cat who lives next door has a penchant for eating the local birdlife. Recently he has been fitted with a collar and bell. Yesterday I found said collar and bell undone and abandoned in our yard. How does a cat undo a collar? Gotta admire his determination. And I wonder what getting a collar off feels like for a cat? Something like finally unwedging something that has been caught in your teeth, I should imagine...!

Collar was probably too loose. Sometimes, Cats manage to get their jaws under the collar and bite it trough.

They're basically wild creatures, aren't they, and we like to think we "tame" them with collars etc.!
