Benefits of Cat Collars
- Non-Stray Identification: Signifies that your cat is not a stray, which can be particularly important in urban areas.
- Makes it easier to recover a lost cat: Increases the chances of your cat being returned if it gets lost. Make sure you attach ID cards or an AirTag to the collar.
- Establishing Routine: Getting your cat used to wearing a collar can help it understand it shouldn't leave the house without it.
Considerations When Choosing a Cat Collar
- Breakaway Feature: Essential for safety, allowing the collar to come off easily if it gets snagged.
- Proper Measurement: It's important to measure your cat's neck to ensure the collar fits properly.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean the collar or consider an antibacterial option to maintain hygiene.
- Not Suitable for Leash Walking: Standard cat collars are not designed for leash walking; a harness is a safer option for this activity. We highly recommend the Houdini Harness, it's escape-resistant, lightweight and very comfortable for the cat.
- Regular Checks: Continuously monitor the collar's condition and fit to ensure it remains safe and comfortable.
