Kittyboo have been selling on EBay a while; I know because I regularly look at stylish breakaway collars. :shy: (But I have to get refletive ones which are a bit of a rarity and difficult to get four nice ones without some of my mob having the same.)

My local Wilkos had those type of fastenings on camo collars - they cost £1.99. Not sure if they're still in stock though.

:thanks: Beth  If you don't mind looking next time you're there that would be great.  Would prefer either blue or camouflage (any colour camo) and would need two.  If they do them I could send you the money including p&p by paypal, bank transfer or cheque - whichever is best for you.

No problem, i'm sure they'll do blue even if they don't do camo. :) Will write a note to remind myself when i next go. ;)

Yep exactly the same type of clasp. I'll have a look for you next time i'm there, what sort of colour/pattern would you be after, and how many?

Thanks Beth, did it have the pushy in bits?  The KiTTYBOO ones are handmade so would be good to find a proper manufacturer in case they stop making them as the boys will be needing collars for many years to come  :)

As for Susanne  :slap:

I'm sure pink and sparkly would suit Riley to a T  :rofl:

They arent' all kitten size.  The last one says cat size?

Yes but now I know they have the right clasps AND camouflage pattern I won't settle for less  :evillaugh:

Thanks Susanne but the Camoflague one is kitten sized and Riley is most certainly not  :evillaugh:

So which one is the one you want , the blue one or the one with Safe Cat on.......cos we all have posts different ways  :shify: :shify:

I know some people read the posts the wrong way round  :evillaugh: but don't think it changes the order of the pics though - the one I want is the top one (the blue one with black clasp with pushy in bits). 

Looking at the ones JS has linked to made by KiTTYBOO! they seem to have the pushy in bits  :wow: Am going to email and see if they do a camoflague one with pushy in bits as that would be the cherry on the cake  ;D
 
:thanks: JS

 :thanks: guys

Mark - these were from PAH and were bought maybe 18 months ago but they don't seem to do them anymore.

CC - I just looked at that link but the clasp looks like the one in the second pic which is the type I don't want.  I need the pushy in tabs so they can be taken off easily.  I've been eyeing up the camoflague collars for ages but can't find them with the right type of clasp  :shy:

JS - I've looked a couple of times in PAH (yesterday was the latest time) and can't find any with a pushy in bit.

I had some like that from PAH a couple of years ago. They also the cheapest - about 99p.

PAH don't do any collars for 99p now, believe me! ;) They do a nice reflective one for £1.95 though with a breakaway clasp. (Not like the second one.)

Helen they sell them on ebay, Ancol they are called. I get these ones cos Harry is forever loosing them and they are cheep. PS the only reason he looses them is becuase he can get them off somehow, scratching maybe?

I'm trying to find breakaway collars that have the same type as clasp as in the first pic, they have a little indent that you push in that enables the collar to be taken off easily.  All the other breakaway collars I've seen don't have this indent which means you have to pull sharply to get them off resulting in a brief strangulation each time it's taken off!

The pic below is Lu's collar (Riley's one is getting a bit shabby) - I'm looking for similar ones that can be taken off easily without the strangulation as the boys only wear collars when they go outside so have them on and off alot.  I've looked in Pets at Home which is where I bought these from but they've changed their style to the non-pushy in clasps like in the 2nd pic (which is a Kittycollar).
