Indeed, the collars arrived very wuickly and are empbroideredso no issues with fading print. The catch is the oval type with barbed inserts that seem robust and not brittle and it does release under reasonable force, but not so easily that it would get pushed off during scratching or grooming.
One the down side they also have the adjustable band that can "travel" i.e. should the cat manage to snag just the outer piece of fabric the whole thing could close up and throttle the wearer.
I can overcome this with a stitch to prevent such "travel" and with this in place these will indeed be safe to use and good value once I've worked out the required length and stitched the adjustment buckle in place.
These don't have a bell but do have a split ring to add your own ID tag, so overall a good buy, with the aforesaid modification to make it safe.
