cat id and collars.

[catmandu]

I used to buy the Found Cats Ova Collars,at Twenty Dollas a Pop,but they kept taking them off and ruining them after a few weeks.
Not they have to put up with the Revolution.
I would get a break away collar too,if she goes outdoors at all.

I have the breakaway collars too (in pretty colors) but in the past few weeks I have started taking them off of my kitties. The reason is that some of them had gotten really tight around their necks! A few of my kitties have gained weight since first getting their collars, so that is why ... but I felt like the collars should have "broken away" before they got so darned tight!
I always check the tightness of my kitties' collars every time I pet them, so I guess if you always make sure to do that, then they will be ok. I just felt like since my babies are always indoors, I'd rather not risk having their necks too tight before the collar decided to break off!

thanks!! ill probably have a look at all the cute collars and stuff soon, as Seafa is going to be allowed outsde. my previous cats never liked going out of our property, so we never worried, but with seafa I am worried she will go across the road and stuff. she shouldnt get lost, tho if shes wearing collar n tags.m thanks !!

O dear!! If you are concerned about your kitty crossing the road, PLEASE keep her inside!!! It is alot safer. NO fleas, no mean people, no fights with other cats, no parasites, etc....you can still keep a collar on her with ID. All our 8 cats are indoors only and each one of them wears their collar. If your cat ever should get outside, she would have identification!!!! Please for the safety of your cat, consider keeping her safe and sound indoors!!!

yea my mum is really worried about seafa crossing the road and stuff. mum says that she wouldnt want to be cleaning out seafas litter box all the time, but I volunteered. Seafa is definitely not old enough to go outside alone yet anyway!

Ok, if the cleaning the litter box was the reason why you were going to let your cat go outside(and be worried), then it is great that you volunteered to clean the box!!! Now can she stay inside???

i hope so!! I have a kitten harness and leash for her currently, although i cant take her out today, as its raining, but i will on sunny days, and later on can get her a adult sized leah and she can go play in the garden with me.

I know that there are cultural differences, but I would never ever contemplate letting my kitty outside. ESPECIALLY one under 6 months old. PLEASE consider keeping her inside. She can come across so many dangers in the world that you don't even think about: Poisonous plants, poisons humans use such as rat poison, lawn chemicals, even fluids you use in cars. Not to mention predators, becoming road kill, falling at the evil of human hands, FIV, FeLV, FIP (all dangerous viruses that affect cats) and worms, bacterial infections, parasites, fleas.... the list is too long to actually mention here. Staying inside ensures a good long life for her.

I'd rather scoop once a day and know my kitty is safe than set her out in the world because I was too lazy to do a chore that takes 2 minutes.
