![]() ![]() If you wouldn't dump a terrier on the street for a day, don't do it to a cat. The collar helps with visibility, and the tag helps anyone on the street get them home to you, cutting out the trip to a vet/shelter to check the chip.Īnd for the people who claim cats should be outdoor animals: you are wrong and you know it. That way if it gets caught on a branch they won't choke.Įdit pt 2: I didn't mention chipping because I thought it was obvious that this is meant to be in addition to the chip, not instead of. Putting "indoor cat" under their name ensures that anyone who sees it knows that they aren't supposed to be outside.Ī reflective collar gives them a much better chance to avoid being hit by a car, and makes it easier to find them in the dark.Įdit: thank you commenters, I forgot to add that the collar should be a breakaway kind. Some people see a cat outside and assume it's an outdoor cat (which don't live long around here) and won't try to help, even if your contact info is on the tag. If your cat doesn't have a tag and goes missing, it will be harder to get them back to you. I make it a point to scoop up any cat I can find and try to bring them to their owner or to a shelter, because they will not survive on their own. Harsh weather, multiple native predators, lots of large roads, and (I know from working in a local hardware store) there's a huge mouse problem and most folks use poison to kill them.Īll of these pose a huge risk to cats. I live in a dangerous place for cats to be outside. TL DR: it'll help them get home faster if they escape.

As this modifies the original buckle design, no safety can be assured. ***Disclaimer, this is by no means fool proof or a replacement for a quality breakaway collar. I chose to get rid of the indent because it seemed the easiest and didn't compromise the length of the clip. After a quick look at the buckle design, I realized I needed to either keep the buckle from fully sliding in or get rid of the indent that allowed for it to click. He's worn a cat collar for a few years but it was so skinny that you couldn't see it beneath his fluffy fur so I was super excited when the small dog collar was big enough to fit him comfortably and be visible however since it is a dog collar I was worried about the solid buckle not being able to give in the case of a snag. Want to use a dog collar on your cat but are worried about not having a breakaway buckle?
