Definitely NEVER attach a lead to a collar, you're right, they can slip out of it when frightened so quickly you wouldn't believe! And being scared, likely to panic and run anywhere! And not just the break-away collars, they can turn around and back out of a regular collar very easily. I made that mistake with my first cat, fortunately he ran for the house so all was well; he could have run into the street! I promptly ordered a figure eight harness!
