I am debating on putting a collar on my kitty. Meeko is only 6 weeks old & has fairly long hair. I was just wondering how many people keep collars on their cats? Not quite sure if she will be an outdoor kitty or not yet. Will the collar make her hair more easily to mat up? She was rescued from a ferral mom outdoors 2 weeks ago @ 4 weeks of age & has come a long way. She is almost a total sweet heart now! So far she has not even ventured anywhere near the door so I am hoping if she does not push her luck I can keep her inside at all time. But she will be at least totally an indoor cat for a few months. I know they make the break away collars in case she becomes entangles & what not.
