> Bells are very cute and they serve as a warning system to birds.


	Sorry to burst some bubbles but...

		I had (she had to be put to sleep) a seal(sp?) point
		siamese, named minx, she had a coller that had no less
		than 3 metalic name/rabies tags and a large assortment
		of bells on it. This same cat was observed at full 
		attack speed, chaseing birds, yet there was no sound,
		this same cat could be heard for miles around when she
		walked. Point of story... cats can learn to move without
		the bells making a sound. The only thing that ever worked
		on this cat was to hit her when she caught a bird, and to
		yell at her.

		BTW it hurts to loose a old friend, I miss Minx, we grew
		up together, we spent 18 years together.
