往年我對於貓咪戴鈴鐺這件事情，認為可能會讓貓咪因此感到焦慮，或者是鈴鐺聲聽久傷耳，所以抱持著反對立場。但在這幾年相關的研究越來越多，有些事情跟我當初想的不太一樣，所以再次重新跟大家分享一下我的看法：

1.鈴鐺究竟能不能幫助野生動物逃離貓的魔爪？

先說結論，鈴鐺有效，但有其他更安全更有效的產品（如THE CATBIB），然後家貓不要放養，乖乖待在家裡就好不要放出去亂。

相關的研究：
Equipping cats with bells seems to reduce their predation on wild birds and mammals…this practice can be recommended to owners seeking to reduce such predation. (Ruxton, G. 2002)

還有一些類似的研究：
Cats equipped with a bell returned 34% fewer mammals, and 41% fewer birds than those with a plain collar. (Nelson, S. 2005)

2.鈴鐺會造成貓咪聽覺受損或焦慮嗎？

聽覺受損的部分這點有研究，因為噪音導致聽覺功能受損的機制，這方面貓跟人很像，所以有人以貓作為實驗動物做了相關實驗，可參考:
Auditory brainstem responses predict auditory nerve fiber thresholds and frequency selectivity in hearing impaired chinchillas.

如果你懶得看，我直接說結論，答案是”不會”。

由於該研究用的是專門的聲音控制裝置，並沒有使用到鈴鐺，所以這鈴聲是我自己拿分貝計去測的，其平均音量大約是80分貝左右。這個音量要讓聽覺受損的難度，大概就像你在地上撿了一顆石頭想要丟中天上的飛機一樣，有那個可能，但微乎其微。

至於會不會讓長期繫上鈴鐺的貓咪焦慮？

關於這點沒有相關研究，僅知道貓的聽覺頻率比人更廣，音量也是人聽到的四倍（大家有空可以去科教館玩，那邊有一頂貓頭盔可以模擬貓咪聽到的音量，基本上，貓就是可以聽到超細微的聲音）。所以關於這一點，目前無法證實是否有影響，如果有，會有多大的影響？

我是認為，以人的角度能替貓設想到這件事，就是代表你重視動物福利，如果連你都不喜歡那樣的東西長期配戴在自己身上，那幹嘛還給貓戴？

倒是近期有篇比較好玩的研究，主要是在講有一些特定的聲音會引起老年貓的癲癇，可參考：
Levetiracetam in the management of feline audiogenic reflex seizures: a randomised, controlled, open-label study.(Lowrie M, et al. J Feline Med Surg. 2017.)

結論：
雖然鈴鐺沒有這麼萬惡深淵，但以風險考量下，即使是安全項圈也還是有不安全的時候，加上我實在想不到有什麼情況是非得讓貓配戴鈴鐺不可的理由。很多環境上的問題都是我們身為飼主可以努力改善的，所以我認為是不需要沒事找事做，你當你在改車啊？

《附註》
很多人在問什麼樣的聲音會引起貓的癲癇，跟大家分享一下：

The sounds that trigger seizures vary between individual cats, and a huge variety of different sounds were identified as triggers. Some of the more common trigger noises included:

*crinkling tin foil
*a metal spoon clanging in a ceramic feeding bowl
*chinking or tapping of glass
*crinkling of paper or plastic bags
*tapping on a computer keyboard or clicking of a mouse
*clinking of coins or keys
*hammering of a nail
*clicking of an owner’s tongue

至於我個人經驗裡面，這我們家阿橘曾經因為電音舞曲的吵雜聲音發作過。

【保健知多D】3B = ？？？

有時大家或許可能會聽過「3B」丸。
　　
那請問各位看倌到底又知不知道「3B」丸是什麼呢？
　　
好！開估！
　　
「3B」其實是指其中三種維生素B，分別是維生素B1(Vitamin B1, Thiamine)、維生素B6(Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine)、維生素B12(Vitamin B12, Cobalamin)，合稱「3B」。
　　
說到這裡，各位看倌可能會感到好奇怪：
　　
「咦？藥罐子，說到維生素B，何止三種？為什麼要刻意挑這三種維生素出來做『3B』丸呢？」
　　
對，「維生素B」是一個大家庭、大家族，裡面其實有很多成員，例如維生素B2(Vitamin B2, Riboflavin)、維生素B3(Vitamin B3, Niacin)、維生素B5(Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid)、維生素B7(Vitamin B7, Biotin)、葉酸(Folic Acid)（維生素B9）。
　　
不過綜觀大部分的維生素B，維生素B1、維生素B6、維生素B12這種組合能夠改善軸突(Axon)的傳導功能、抑制熱痛敏(Thermal Hyperalgesia)、促進神經系統復原、減少神經纖維(Nerve Fiber)受損[1]，一般主要較常拿來做助攻輔助KO神經痛，俗稱「補神經」。
　　
實際上，人體缺乏這三種維生素各自同樣可能會誘發神經病變(Neuropathy)[2]，所以就算無病無痛……正確一點，應該是神經痛，還是需要用自己方法攝取足夠的維生素B1、維生素B6、維生素B12達標，避免誘發神經病變。
