Re: Cats and Collars


My old cat Tiger and our cat Spike always absolutely loathed collars. It is impossible have Spike wear one, as it'll just drive him mental.

Honey has a collar, however, because I'm paranoid. XD Luckily he's a ridiculously tame cat and puts up with anything (he's licking my arm whilst I type this), so he is fine with collars.

His first collar was a plain black collar with clear gems, but I switched to a blue breakaway collar, for safety.

I'd get him a reflective one, but I live in the country and they just look God awful. XD

Re: Cats and Collars


Both my cats have collars as well as being chipped. Molly looks after hers well but Jason keeps losing his, they're probably hanging on trees nearby! Just as well we buy the breakaway sort for extra safety!

Re: Cats and Collars


Mine are all indoor cats and being Persians I wouldn't entertain putting a collar on them as it damages the ruff round their neck. They do have some beautiful ones nowadays.

Re: Cats and Collars


It sounds like she is a tortoiseshell Persian. I would love to see some pics of her. They are very affectionate.

I have a tortoiseshell, a black, a red, a red and white bi-colour, a blue-cream, a seal-point, a cream-point and 4 seal-tortie points. Quite a rainbow of Persians .

Re: Cats and Collars


Mine have collars and tags and are yet to be microchipped... it is on my list of things to do...

They have had collars since they were kittens so used to it now, but Mags's idea of a few hours a day indoors is a good way to introduce the collar!

Re: Cats and Collars


Yeh I agree on the slowly introduce it, perhaps with a bit of distraction and bribery too

As an update, I got two breakaway collars from my Vets when Fizz went for her shots. I didn't know how Fizz would handle a collar but she didn't bat an eyelid and now looks very smart in bright red

We had Bubbles microchipped while she was under for her dental and also has a nice new breakaway collar. Fizz was already chipped thanks to the CPL and Smudgely

Re: Cats and Collars


my cat has a pink collar round her neck, with a name tag. it did have a bell, but i took it off, as she was annoying me, once when i was trying to watch tv! but, she has always had collars. she dosen't like me taking it off her, bur she'll sit as good as gold when i put a new one on her.

Does she have a collar with a safety clasp on, Stitch?
