Kitty collars, why they are not for every cat

Is a kitty collar right for You and Your Cat?

Outdoor cats are probably the best candidates to benefit from wearing a kitty collar. Indoor cats can benefit from wearing them in some cases, but mostly, unless your indoor cat LOVES wearing a cat collar, then show her some love, and let her not wear one, most indoor cats remove their collars anyway, and they may look SUPER cute, but they can also be super uncomfortable for your kitty.

A few things to consider about kitty collars.

There are pros and cons to everything in life. consulting an expert or your pet’s vet is always the best option for figuring out the next step in all wellness and health aspects for your pet, but here are some of the pros and cons and impotent things to keep in mind, that I have found to occur very often when it comes to cats and Kitty Collars.

Some Kitties LOVE Kitty Collars

Just like how some kitties love to wear clothes, take bathes and get their hair done, some kitties just ADORE wearing Kitty Collars. You usually know your fluffy friend the best, so if you do buy her a collar, just observe her, it is usually easy to tell if your pet likes something or not. A good way to tell if kitty hates her new collar is if she scratches it, paws it or if she takes it off. If she loves it, she may purr, snuggle you, or get happy excited when you put it on her.

Good Things about Kitty Collars

They help let you Know when your outdoor kitty comes home, if you have an outdoor cat (if there is a bell on the collar) and they are often used to attach ID tags to
They help to keep track of where your never-just-a-pet friend is off to (if you buy one with a bell on it) and can help you to more easily locate them
They help to more easily monitor the location of younger kitties, who might get into mischief (if the collar has a bell attached to it)
They help to hear if your kitty is getting any trouble (if the collar has a bell)

Not-So-Good Things about Kitty Collars

They can be irritating to your cat’s skin, or just feel uncomfortable to your kitty
Kitty Cats are crafty and will often simply remove the Kitty Collars as soon as you look away
They are very often expensive, and it is important to buy a high quality one with all of the necessary safety features, and having a back-up is important in case kitty loses her collar
They get very dirty, and can only usually be hand washed or spot cleaned

Things to keep in mind if you DO buy a Kitty Collar

Try to keep in mind, collars should never be too tight, that can be VERY unsafe for your kitty, it can cause trouble breathing and even more dangerous problems. there should always be room for you to stick a big finger or two under the collar while it’s on So there should be room for your kitty’s neck plus wiggle room, so that she can safely wear it. It should not be too loose either, because than it can be unsafe in other ways, like the risk of it getting caught on something. If you kitty does get trapped or stuck, it can be VERY dangerous. A good way to avoid most of these issues is by buying a high-quality Kitty Collar, that is adjustable, and has safety features such as an emergency release clasp, that allows you kitty to just break the clasp open if she is ever trapped by her collar being snagged. Keep in mind the VERY BEST WAY to keep your kitty safe is to supervise her whenever you can, and to spend as much time with her as you humanly can. Also keep in mind, that just like with humans, all Never-just-a-pet Friends are different, so keep in mind that the rights choices and collars for all ages, breeds and sizes of cat will be different.

My Soulmate Pumpkin, HATES Kitty Collars…

My Pumpkin hates kitty collars. For her safety, we made her wear one for the greater part of her childhood, but once she was a grown kitty, we finally let her be free of her collar. Pumpkin has a massive collection of sparkly Kitty collars, pink ones, green and lavender, ones to match the blue of her eyes, ones with little butterfly charms next to the bells, she did not enjoy wearing a single one of the 20-some collars we bought her over the period of her youth. So now that my baby is all grown up and so am I, I realize that even though they make her look super cute, she shouldn’t have to wear them now that she can’t hid in drawers and slip through window screens with phantom like stealth anymore. No kitty collar bells are needed in our house any longer.
