What should I have on Disc for Collar?

[ccmacey]

Ancol also does safety buckle collars, the breakaway type. I couldnt get those kitty collars for Harry because he looses them.

Hi Mark
Looked on the kitty website at those collars and there is a  clasp like on those and not like the ones from supermarkets.  So thankyfully vet sells the right ones.
Thanks

I had words with my last vet as he sells "Safety" collars but they are elasticated. I argued that they aren't safety ones and he snapped one to demonstrate. I'm not sure that the weight of cat's body would be enough to snap one though. The only true safety ones are breakaway ones - hopefully your vet sells those.

Hi all
Thanks
Tibby is chipped, getting Lucy chipped soon.
They both have safety collars from the vets where I take them for checks and flea injections etc.
I will probably put my mobile on one side and address on the other side - address was a good idea so people can see if local or too far away from home.
Thank you all
xxxx

Kittycollars always not to put the cat's name on a disc.

I agree 100% with safety collars as others on here will tell you of the horrific injuryies caused by trapped legs in collars - usually the so-called elastic safety collars are usually the worst as cats can get a leg trapped in them. In theory, they are supposed to snap under pressure but this isn't always the case. Only last week, Ela posted about a cat that slipped on a window ledge and was hung by its collar

I would have your mobile number on one side and your vets number on the other.

I would also get them mirco-chipped

Hello!  Have you seen these collars here?  www.kittycollars.co.uk they are really great collars - very safe (they will come off instead of hang your cat if it gets caught somewhere) plus because the info is on the tag, there is no need for an additional bulky bit 

In any case, personally I prefer having my mobile number - so if one of my kitties is found, I can be contacted wherever rather than just having a message left at home.  I also have my house name and street, so that if they are found wandering, people will know if they are local or not.  I think the most important thing is a phone number as that is what people will instantly look for if they find a lost, injured, or (hopefully not!) a deceased cat.

I would just say: are their collars safety collars?  This is so very important (but you may know this already  ).

Are they chipped? I would have that on there. And i would use a mobile number so if any weirdos get the urge to phone you up you can change your sim!

I am getting discs to put on my cats collars.  The ones with telephone number etc on.
What is the best things to have engraved on these - both sides.
I was thinking my Mobile or House telephone number - which one do you think.
And not sure what is best on the other side   
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
