I wasn't given one of them! >:( Are the tags big? I just used one of the barrels and crammed as much info on the paper inside as I could!

Its about the  size of  dog tag which is a  little big for a cat lol but I'm sure it'll be fine once I get a collar for him.

....plus a diabetic tag too to put on a collar so I'll be getting a breakaway clasp collar to put the tag on.

Oh and please get rid of the elasticated collar. They are dangerous and others on here will tell you of the horrific injuries they can cause.


I've already binned it. I don't like them sort of collars. They used to wear them but once Sebastan came in with his leg through the collar I took them off all the cats. The vet did give me a tag saying that he'd been chipped plus a diabetic tag too to put on a collar so I'll be getting a breakaway clasp collar tp put the tag on.

The collar was a type of flea collar you get from a pet shop with a little bit of elastic. He hasn't been chipped yet.

www.kittycollars.co.uk sell some really nice safety collars with a breakaway clasp  ;D

Glad he is now chipped.

Right what i would do -
If he comes back with another collar on attach your phone number to it and see what happens.

It could be that he has been "faking" being an un-owned cat !!

I had this last week with a ginger cat that turned up at mine, he wouldnt go away and always seemed hungry. I listed him as found at all the local vets. I got him neutered (as he wasnt done) and then he went missing.
He returned a couple of weeks later with a collar on so i put my phone number on it.

A couple of days later i got a phone call from his owner  :wow:
We had a long chat and i said what i had done, the owner wasnt impressed that i had had him neutered but thats tough tittys !!
The cat still pops round every now and then - although i havent seen him for a while now

Thats good he is now chipped, you never know if a situation is going to blow up or not.
Next move collar with note & number, you could say he has diabetes and needs his food monitored etc  ;)

:luck:

Wow I would be a bit annoyed if someone did that - I know that they probably mean well but it is strange to assume that he is a stray esp when he would look well cared for, well fed etc when these people found him!

I second the paper collar idea, otherwise they might just think that the poor stray cat lost the lovely red collar they gave him...  ;)

To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.

By chipping him he becomes yours legally so deffo do that asap incase of dispute.
Paper collar/safety collar with note on saying phone me, good luck with it, i hope its not a awkward person.

Get him chipped asap (is he neutered yet ? )

If the others are medicating him ie flea treatments etc then you really need to nip this in the bud to prevent double dosing.

I've had him since he was a kitten but a few months ago he went missing for 3 weeks.He came back looking well fed and he'd grown so much. I used to have collars on my cats but they used to lose them and once Sebastian came in with his front leg through his collar so I stopped using them.My other cats will run from strangers (even my dad) but he won't.

Right you need to attach a "paper collar" asking them to ring your number. Or try to follow him to see if his second home is close by.

Its either make him 100% indoor cat or try to find out where he's going and explain to the other people he is your cat. Have you got him microchipped, it would be a very good idea to do so if he hasnt been done.

Was the collar a safety collar ??

Sorry, I missed the history of this cat. Is it one you've befriended, or has he always been yours?  :innocent: (They aren't beyond telling a sob story to a sweet old dear for the chance of mugging her of her breakfast kippers, you know...  :evillaugh: )

I do know and understand what you mean about collars, but some folks assume a cat without a collar is stray....  :shy:

.....He keeps disappearing every few days and I now have proof he has a second home. He came home last night with  a red collar on. I took it off as I don't like collars on cats. I've let him out this morning but should I keep him in or continue letting him out to go to the other home?
