When putting a collar on a cat, do make sure that you can fit at least two fingers between the collar and your cat’s neck. It’s usually when we travel or take trips to the vet that we put on his collar. We always aim to make the best choice for Yoda and since he’s already got an anti-flea collar on his neck, we choose not to put his collar on everyday. If and when this happens, you’ll at least feel better knowing your cat has a collar with your contact information, just in case! Just don’t forget that though your cat may be an indoor cat, it’s possible that your cat will one day wind up outside somehow. The choice is yours! If your cat doesn’t mind wearing a collar, then getting a simple, cute breakaway collar will be a nice addition to your kitty’s fur coat. If your cat is an indoor cat, then we advise you to make the best choice for you and your feline friend. Just in case your cat gets lost and his collar breaks off, your cat will still be identifiable once taken to an animal shelter which will first check if the cat has a microchip identification. In addition to collars, we recommend microchipping your cat. Most often, neighbors will notify you if they’ve seen your cat somewhere or if he’s been getting into some trouble (too much pawtying).Ĭollars are replaceable, our fluffy babies aren’t! It’s most likely that once your neighborhood recognizes your cat, they’ll start to look out for him to make sure he’s safe. Your cat’s collar let’s people know your cat is safe and taken care of. If your cat is an outdoor cat , then we recommend getting your cat a collar.Ĭollars are easily identifiable which helps neighbors and strangers alike notice that your cat belongs to someone. Here’s our two cents on whether or not your cat should wear a collar. This will help your cat adjust to the feeling of wearing it. Reward your cat each time so that little by little s/he will positively associate the collar with treats. Put the collar on for 15 minutes everyday. If you want to collar your adult cat who is not used to the collar, reward him with treats each time you put it on. Suggestion: Cats are much more likely to adapt to a collar if they have one at an early age. Cats may dislike the feeling of something new and strange around their neck which can make them scratch excessively at it, try to bite off, walk strangely, or else. ![]() Lots of pet owners decide to not collar their cat because their cat responds wildly. It’s also useful for when you take trips to the vet or plan to do any type of car travel. Having a collar with an ID tag nearby will be useful to at least put on your cat when you plan to have guests over (who may leave doors and windows open). We recommend having a collar with an identification tag handy for your cat. Suggestion: Though your cat may be an indoor cat, it is not certain that your cat will never escape. If ever he loses his collar (which is a breakaway safety collar), Yoda will still have his microchip as a backup method for identification. This way if Yoda does get lost, the people who find him will immediately see his name and our contact information. When we travel with Yoda, or when we take him to the vet, we put his collar with his identification tag on him. Even though we knew Yoda would be an indoor cat, accidents do happen. We got our Yoda microchipped when he was a kitten. If your cat gets startled and runs off, and if he’s not wearing a collar with an identification tag, then it’s very likely that the person who finds your cat will think that its a stray (unless by chance they take your cat to the vet and they find his microchip). Though your cat may be an indoor cat, it is possible that one day kitty escapes outside. The number one reason why cat parents do not collar their cat is because they claim their cat is strictly indoor only.
