I cannot find a collar that will work on Kylie.
When I first got her in June from my friend I noticed she had a sore on her neck, Jodi said "All my mom's cats have that every once in a while, its like in their blood or something". Well than right before Christmas another friend noticed Kylie had a sore on her neck and when I checked it out she had 2 open sores on her neck that were infected, bleeding where her collar was too tight (dumb kitty mom I am) and had grown into her neck.
I take full responsiblity for it. It wasn't anyone else's fault that I was stupid. I was devasted. I cried for poor Kylie. I was so upset. I felt I didn't even deserve a cat. I would never do anything to hurt her. She is my precious one.
I doctored her little neck and after about 2 mos if finally healed. So FINALLY....... I bought her a collar that I have on the last hole and can get about 3 fingers underneath, if not 4, and tonight when I was brushing her I noticed she has 2 rub marks on the top of her neck again. Now this collar is so loose I thought at first when she would bend her head the collar would fall off.
I think its important for her to have a collar with her name tag on it, just in case she accidently gets outside, altho I don't plan on purposely letting her get out again. She is banned from the outside. This collar has 2 stretchy circles on it so they can break away. And I stress again, it wasn't tight by anymeans.
I don't know what to use. Other friends have short and long haired cats with collars and no trouble, why am I having such bad luck?
