Are collars that bad?

My 5 year old female hasn't worn one for 3 years. She's more timid and stays near our house.

Our 1 year old male goes out far and loves being out. He hasn't worn a collar before. He's started to bring home mice, baby birds and he even left a magpie on my bed. The poor things.

I need to stop this. Is the only way to do this putting a collar and bell on him?

I've read even the safety ones aren't ok and I know I couldn't open one once so I'm not sure they are all that safe.

I'm not sure he will take to it. Any tips?

I feel bad enough about these poor animals so please don't have a go.

Thank you xx

I can't keep him in as he has a car flap and he loves being outside.

I ordered two collars just before I posted this 🤦‍♀️

Replace your cat flap for one you can control/lock at certain times.

I'm also in the anti-collar camp. They're dangerous.
