Collars..NEVER again!Well...until tonight Clementine usually wore a 'safety' collar, Elsa cant wear a collar at all as she has an obsession of eating material. Anyway this evening there was a knock at the front door..some young children..asked if we had a tortie..i said yes, why? and was told there was one stuck in a bush around the corner  Went to investigate..and lone behold it was Clementine with her so called 'safety' colalr caught on a branch in this bush going nuts trying to escape..now this is the sort with the clasp that is meant too come apart when pulled put strain on, etc. But it didn't work whatsoever! Clementine is ok now, which is the main thing. But i really am so thankful those young children spotted her, otherwise i wouldn't like to think what could have happened. So thats it now..no more collars here! Both cats have been microchipped anyway so i suppose it doesnt really matter.....

Good thing those young lads noticed Clementine Luke Cassie has always worn a safety collar and fortunately has never had any problem with it. I always test it before I buy it to see how easy it comes undone. I know some do take a bit of pulling to undo them.... Glad it all turned out well..... |

Glad she's okay Luke, Moli wears a safety collar and we haven't had a problem, they've come off as they should do. I wouldn't rely on the fact they're micro-chipped that they'll be returned. Sox was microchipped and we haven't seen hide nor hair of him. Even the vets admitted that not everyone will scan a cat for a microchip anyway  |

Hi Alls well that ends well Luke, the kids sound nice could have been worse, although she could have maybe got free. My two used to wear collars but I gave up in the end Cleo never went further than the front or back garden  Oscar used to loose his collar on an almost daily basis but the next day or day after he'd bring it back carrying it in his mouth I assume because it smelt of him. But sometimes the little kids would bring it back I think on those occasions Oscar had got fed up of bringing it back or more than likely got sidetracked by a bird or something. Glad she's okay though Luke. Karen |

Wow, I think I would go out and buy some little toy kitties and give them to those kids for being so lovely and diligent as to report it to you! That's so good, and it's behaviour that needs encouraging really. I always test safety collars before I put them on and make sure they really do come apart... Even if they're of a brand I've used before, it only takes one factory fault really... |

I have never put collars on my cats, but they don't really go out! |

Luckily I don't have this to worry about because mine are indoor. I also wouldn't use collars on mine as they are persians and a collar would just encourage matting. Other cat owners I know who do put collars on use 'kittycollars' as they are supposed to be one of the safest - is this what you had Luke? |
