The problem with bells is that young, naive animals don't know that the sound of the bell signals danger. That bib thing is obnoxious and the cats look wretchedly unhappy, but it probably does the trick.
By the way, Leonardo da Vinci, who used to purchase doomed fowl at the marketplace and set them free, opined that the bells placed around farm animals' necks must drive them mad. I wonder too about the incessant clinking of metal license, rabies and ID tags on collars.
