Do your cats wear collars?

I have two cats, both indoor - only one, Oscar, has a nylon collar, on which I squirt his twice-daily dose of Feliway (vet says he's on it for life).

BTW - my vet LOVED this idea and said he will mention it to others. You are not supposed to spray it ON the cat, however, so spray slowly....

Loki is an indoor kitty, he as a collar with a bell on it. I like having the bell, cause i always know where he is. Especially when he tries to dash through the front door!!

My cats are rather unusual, while they are indoor cats I do take them outside only on a leash (all of the big cats are leash trained to some extent, some better than others) or out to the cat enclosure. I also take Pooky for bike rides, to the pet store (basically Pooky just likes to go anywhere, him and Dusty both like to ride on the golf cart.

The only time mine wear collars is when they step anywhere outside the door, even if it's inside a carrier. However I can't buy cat collars because of the 'quick release' feature. Since I walk them on a leash like a dog, I have to buy small dog collars for them. I don't use a harness because several can get out of any type of harness I put on them, no matter how snug, and Dusty will refuse to walk with anything around her middle or back.

I've always used a stretched out hair scrunchie as a training collar in the house until I could work my way up to a break away collar, then finally to a dog collar with the leash.

Not worth the expense. The cats can remove them at will and Sams is so limber he can back out of a harness especially when he deliberately hooks it on something. Smart cat.

I have one of each collar wearers- but both are inside. Kloe is only out by escape convict only and Kylie is allowed out - closely supervised. And she goes running back to the house at top speed with a sharp "KYLIE"
Kloe wears a collar with a bell or 2 so that we know where she is - b/c she was a TERROR as a kitten. (oh yea she still is!0

)
Kylie doesn't wear one b/c of her long fur it causes mats and she has such a big neck I found one growing into her neck back when I first got her. I felt awful and cried and cried.
