Thanks for the welcome! I am glad I found this forum too as it has been 6 years since I lost my first cat Misty and I am a bit rusty on certain things.
I personally felt bad for putting the collar on him as he will be indoors for quite a while yet, but because he is so small we find the bell very useful to know where abouts he is. He wasn't keen on the collare for about an hour after putting it on, but he is fine with it now
He is our little sweetheart, and to say my partner is a major dog lover, he has really fallen for Fella. Will post some more pics asap.
