I have a dilemma which I would like to share and get your opinions about:
As I told you, I am taking care of a big group of street cats. Most of them are not affectionate and do not pet.
In order to neuter them and take them to the vet when necessary, I need to use a special cage which allows me to catch the cat without touching it (they get a yami treat in the cage).
Anyway, my dilemma is whether to put collar on those cats or not. I can only do it while their under anesthesia at the vet’s. The problem is that a friend of mine told me that her cat rubbed the collar and harmed his neck with infection. I buy elastic collars ( It cannot suffocate) and add small tag with my detailed to prevent those street cats from being collected by the municipal vet, or being abused by kids. Those are the advantages, but if they will suffer from any wound because of the collar I wont be able to tell because they are not friendly.
What do you think?
P.S. – some of them which got collars, have lost it quit fast, and some wear it with pride.
