That is excellent advice Marla. That had never occurred to me. Most of our Mognificent 7 have Beastie Band collars which, as you know, are velcro fastened.

PS. and at a complete tangent asuming that you are Marla of Kitty Collars, I didn't see you at Olympia this year - mind you it is becoming more and more run down as a venue and a pitch must be more costly than ever, as evidenced by fewer traders than ever.

PPS To everryone else - sorry to go off track

Thanks for the advice, it is something I never thought of, although I think I put my spot ons a bit further down, as I have never had a problem.
Please spay your cat

Hi Marla

Yes good advice.

When we met at the cat show at Olympia I mentioned that it looked like the fabric on mine had almost 'melted', and that had to be the spot-on flea stuff  :shify:

Sound advice thanks Marla. Must admit this is something that never crossed my mind though I do regularly test all my Kittycollars.

The chemicals in some spot-on flea treatments may react with the plastic hardware on a cat collar. If these chemicals got into the clasp, they could damage it and prevent it from opening.

Please remove your cat’s collar before applying any spot-on flea or worming products and ensure that your cat’s coat is completely dry before refitting the collar.
