cat collars

[x-clo-x]

i like my two to wear collars so people dont assume they are strays.

i usually just buy them from pets at home, as they have the safety release on if they get stuck anywhere.

ezzy isnt a problem and keeps her collar on. she doesnt get it off and has had the same one on for nearly a year now.

Myrtle on the other hand, hers last about 5 days before shes got rid of them :roll: :lol:

what collars do you use on your cats? im looking for some new ones and might look at different ones than the ones from pets at home.

Ooh great thread, I've been wondering about this lately, as there aren't many cats around our area..

[x-clo-x]

the ones i see round here either dont have collars on, or just the bog standard flea collars.

i want mine to have nice collars on, but ones that have the safety release because i would hate the thought of them getting stuck on something and not being able to get free.

See I think I'm going for a bog standard flea collar because Wheatley is going to be a house cat, however should he escape during the summer (as the dogs will probably have the door open) I don't want a load of fleas in the house..

i tried to keep mine as house cats, it didnt work ;)

my cats dont bring fleas in.. they have once, this year, and they are both nearly 5 so not done too bad.

they just have spot on stuff the same as the dogs and theyve been fine :-D

also i dont know if i would spend £11 on a collar at the rate myrtle loses them.. if there are testimonials saying how long they last i might change my mind :lol: but if the buckle just comes straight undone the minute theres a slight bit of pull she will lose it in a day :lol:

yeah they are.. but im just thinking the catch will come off quite easy.. i dont know without testing them i suppose.

my cats have small necks, cat collars are smaller than dog collars you know :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know but they wriggle more - how am I supposed to get a tape measure around him?

It says that they come off with the added weight of 2kg..

so if my cat hangs itself on a branch it will snap... im sure myrtle does it on purpose as hers never last.. i did get her another from pets at home but she wont let me put it on her :lol:

I've bought collars from here:

I take the ring with the bell off - one fewer things to get stuck on. Both Rover and Toffee have lost a few but I find that reassuring. :)

Do flea collars actually work? My last cat was terrible for bringing in fleas, so I'm assuming this one will be too. Although I lived in the country then and live on the edge of a town now so maybe it'll be different???

I love that site! I bought my dogs tags from there nearly 3 years ago and they're still going strong!

My cats are all indoor only, and have had various collars ov er the years. Well, Broxi and Teddie have lol. The two of them must eat theirs, I'm positive of it, as the amount of times they have disappeared never to be seen again is unreal, and as I said they are indoor only! Atm, neither of them have a collar on, wheras Cooper, bless 'im, has had the same collar on since a year old and he's now 5.
