The Perfect Cat Collar!

my favorite cat collar

❤❤❤

As a Vet Tech Cat Mom of Five 😻 I’ve Gone Through A LOT of Cat Collars. So Far, This Has Been The Absolute Best Collar That I’ve Purchased.

THE PERFECT COLLAR

i have had great success with these.

my two chipped and clipped 😉 twin brother cats became indoor/outdoor cats.

all it took was a fun couple of hours outside for them to come in with no collar (and we lived on a large wooded lot—aka collars never to be seen again)

after losing several break-away collars WITH TAGS ON EVERY ONE ($$$)🙄😄, i had to find an alternative.

there was NO WAY i was going to NOT collar them and NO WAY i was going to put a lethal choking hazard around their necks (aka standard dog collar).

I Found THIS! EVERYTHING I WANTED IN A COLLAR!

ELASTICAT REFLECTIVE STRETCH CAT COLLAR. COMES IN MANY COLORS. THERE ARE OPTIONS FOR A JINGLE BELL, MULTI-COLORED, DIFFERENT THICKNESSES, MORE BRAIDED MATERIAL. AVAILABLE ALMOST EVERYWHERE. (LINK BELOW)

Why Was This Collar Perfect For Us?

  1. affordable. i have five cats. i also have a lot of costs in my life, especially health costs. when it comes to the cats, i have always been happy to spend, sometimes compelled to spend, and sometimes i overspend. so the fact that these collars were everything i was looking for AND “cheap” was awesome

    • i paid $4.97 (i found out this was on sale)

    • ive seen them online go from $7 to $20 USD

  2. stretches. instead of breaking off to release a cat caught in a branch or fence, it stretches allowing the cat to slip its head out, or anything else needed to break free. the break-away alternative i needed!

  3. no jingle bell. people have differing opinions about the pros & cons of the bell. our needs included no jingle bell. to me, it boils down to this; is your cat more liable to be a predator or prey where you live.

    • if your cat has a serious liability of being prey (i.e. you encounter coyotes a lot, there are dogs in your area that you do not trust, the jingle bell attracts other cats to your home or property) give your cat the stealth advantage of having no jingle bell

    • if your cat is safe in your yard, but say, is helping to decimate the bird population & other friendly creatures of the forest (a serious problem) then a jingle bell could help alert the little animals that your cat is coming to get them

    • and then of course, the sound, for knowing where your cat is—a factual and an inarguable pro-bell position.

  4. REFLECTIVE! those stripes on the collar are reflective. cars will see your cat in the road, you will see your cat with a flashlight. awesome!!

  5. cat friendly. small enough to not bother the cats (one of mine hates wearing collars). difficult for the cat to break-off or remove himself since it attaches like a braided belt.

  6. sturdy. well-made and strong enough to attach ID tags.

  7. infinite circumference. you just stick the prong through the woven fabric. no more S/M/L sizing needed!

THE PERFECT COLLAR 😻
