Who invented the CatBib?
A bird-feeding, cat lover in Springfield, Oregon, USA.
How does it work?
The CatBib is attached to the cat's collar and hangs loosely over the cat's chest. It works by gently interfering with the precise timing, and coordination a cat needs for successful bird catching. It effectively comes between the cat and the bird your cat is stalking. It works by using the simple principle of coming between the cat and the bird just at the last moment. It defeats all the cat's stealth and cunning at exactly the moment it's needed. It doesn't interfere with any of your cat's other activities. The CatBib ONLY affects your cat's ability to catch birds. A cat wearing a CatBib can run, jump, climb trees, eat, sleep, scratch and groom. If you want to prevent your cat from catching birds, use the CatBib. It's part of being a responsible pet owner to control your pet and to love it dearly.
Does it really work?
YES A recent University Trial scientifcally proved it works to stop 81% of cats from catching birds! The lead researcher says: "The CatBib is an excellent product and lives up to it's claims."
AND there's the over 100 customer testimonials.
Is it safe for my cat to wear a CatBib?

They can run, jump, climb trees, go up and down stairs, sleep, eat, drink and be merry. It only stops cats from catching birds.
My cat only catches a bird now and then. How can that be a problem?
Your cat may be killing more birds than you think. Five, or even ten, birds a year doesn't sound like much, but consider that there are 60 million cats in America - many of which are hunting every day. Conservatively, it is estimated 4.4 million birds are killed by cats in America every day. That's less than one bird for every 12 cats! If your cat is a hunter, then your cat is part of the problem.
Isn't it natural for cats to kill birds?
Yes, cats are natural predators, and birds are among their favorite prey. This natural trait turns into a serious problem because there are fewer birds than ever before. Human activity has destroyed vast tracts of wildlife habitat. Additional pressure on the declining number of wild birds comes from the enormous population of cats, the result of people not spaying or neutering their pets. The CatBib is an effective tool to help in the pressing need to save the birds that remain.
Can I leave the CatBib on all the time?
The CatBib was designed to be worn when your cat is outside to prevent to your cat from killing birds. It should be removed when your cat is locked inside at night. Pets need attention. Putting the CatBib on and taking it off is an excellent time to check your pets and give them hugs.
