[QUOTE="Ash, post: 1965076, member: 209017"] cats are very smart they have many ways of working around the bells. it is possible that your cat/s are holding the bell in its mouth. my cat did this and even when we had two bells on. it wasn't until we added a third that she couldn't fit them all in her mouth. also cats stalk their prey and have probably worked out that the bell only jungles when it is hit and that it is more likley to be hit if the cat walks/runs fast. so they sneak up on the birds/mice without hitting the bell. but adding three bells seemed to work for us. the bell was annoying at first but after a couple of weeks we got used to it. its just like if you have a dog and floorboards, you can heard them clipping the floor as they walk but you get used to it.
