So I am modelling something for a friend. Its a cat from a game and it has some little bells on a collar.

enter image description here

I modelled and textured everything, and I was able to use Rigid Bodies for the bells so they move with the cat. But once I rigged the cat the rigid bodies don't follow the cat anymore

I attatched them using a Generic rigid body constraint with empties connecting the cat mesh to the bells. I also have strings connecting the cat to the bells using the Hook modifier, but I have been able to figure that out.

I just can't seem to find a way to make the rigid bodies follow the deformations of the rig.

Setup

Here is how I attached everything. The best that I have been able to get is the empties to follow the rig, but the rigid body simulations don't follow with the empties that are constraining them.

Attach rigid bodies to rigged mesh
