I'm laughing uncontrollably about the losing the anti-bird collar thing. We've had our cats for a year now, we also bought collars with big bells on the so as to keep wildlife in the gardens. Along with engraved nametags with adress and phone number on. We must have gone through about 20 different collars and tags in the past year. Doesn't matter what kind of collar we buy, they find a way of removing them and losing them arou/nd the shurbbery and vegetable gardens. Bloody nightmare. Must have spent about £100 on collars and tags by now. Luckily the birds have wised up, but alas the collars do nothing for the frogs. we've about 30-40 big ass frogs in one pond alone, and every morning you'll walk into the kitchen to find one sat in the corner playing dead. Phoebe is the bulldog hunter of the sisters, you'll always find her waddling around with a frog twice the size of her head between her teeth. But once they've caught them, unlike mice, they just freeze, and the cats have no idea what to do with them so just wander off.
