If you've seen the Swiss Alps you know that it is very hilly and mountainous. Cows often go wandering for lush grass, and so it makes it easier for the herdsmen to locate their cows by the sounds of the bells. What the they can't see, they can hear by the cowbells jingling as the cow move along.

It's just a way for a farmer or herder to know where his or her cow wandered off to so they can get them in for milking. Bells are not used today in commerical operations, but they have been and still are likely used in the Swiss Alps and in colonial times in England and New England and Eastern Canada.

Should cats wear bells on their collar or does it bug their ears?

no cause that involves a collar and if that gets stuck on something it could choke a cat to death. That is not true, you can buy breakaway collars that will come off if the cat gets it stuck on something. Then you should put a bell on your cat so that you can hear it, and if your cat is an outside cat put an ID tag on with the bell. :)

Do cats eat magpies?

They will if the cat is not lazy or fat or too small. If you get magpies in the garden, I would recommend keeping the cat inside, whether it's a beach ball on legs or not. Bells on collars are bad cos they not only drive the cat mad at night when it's rolling around trying to get to sleep, it drives people mad as well!
