New collar

In this picture you can see my new collar. My female human thought it might be good to buy a new one, because the old one has disappeared (again). I don't understand it. Cats are not born to wear collars. The bell hurts my ears. WHY do I need one? The human said she wants to protect the birds. The bell should warn them that I am coming. How stupid is that? Birdies are there to HUNT. And to play with. I don't want them to hear me. Who can go on the hunt with a loud BELL around his neck? Of course I will try to lose my collar as soon as possible. Wish me luck.
