Collars to start with?

[Millys Mum]

Now I'm not a fan of collars, but was wondering whether you think it might be a good idea to put one on them for the first couple of months they go out, just incase, then at least someone can ring me. Then once they get used to going out and know their way I'll take them off. They are both chipped

Thats what i did with the older girls. I was going to do the same for the young ones but they kept getting their jaws stuck in them no matter how tight they went! So i gave up.


Its not a bad thing to keep them in when your out, they will soon learn when they can/cant go.

I'm not the biggest fan of collars either but think they are a necessary evil, would only ever use the breakaway type now though.  I bought a couple of cheapo PAH breakaway collars to try and get the boys used to them, they are fine about having one on now but don't keep them on for very long

I stopped using Kitty collars when I realised when Sabu was losing his, they weren't coming undone!!  Since then they've been without collars, and TBH I feel much happier that way ... and so do my kitties.

Kitty Collars are fantastic. I have all my cats kitted out in them! Will wouldn't tolerate collars in the past but he's fine with theirs as they are lightweight and don't have an end sticking out for him to try and eat!

I think it tells you on Kittycollars site but never put an animals name on a collar.

Defo a thumbs up for Kitty Collars.  They are safety ones with break-away clips as well, so much better than standard buckle or elastic ones which can cause major problems .

Kitty collars do really good ones that are very safe. Mine have got the personalised ones with "If Found Call xxxxx xxxxxx" on them for when they are travelling and they are really good.

Morning  ,

Well Polly and Fergus are going on their day trip at the end of next week where they'll have a nice little sleepy time and come home minus a few bits and pieces. So once they are recovered I'm planning on letting them outside.

They have been out in the garden whilst we've been there and love it. As we're out all day at work, I'm not happy with them being able to come and go as they please, so we won't get a cat flap at the moment. I'll probably let them out first thing, call them in with their breakfast and then let them out again when I get back and again call them in with their dinner.

Now I'm not a fan of collars, but was wondering whether you think it might be a good idea to put one on them for the first couple of months they go out, just incase, then at least someone can ring me. Then once they get used to going out and know their way I'll take them off. They are both chipped.

Thanks
