Don't Know What To Do?

[apbtmom76]

thank you all for your replies, Randi I had thought about the tattoo, Highway is an indoor kitty, but is never left outdoors overnight or anything like that, he is only allowed out there when we are home and the doors are open. I will have to check into a stretchier type collar, maybe that will make him more comfortable. It is almost time to take him in for his Rabies, maybe I'll see what my vet says as well. Thanks you all, I really appreciate the feedback

Our cats are microchipped and that works better than a collar. Of course, they have to be taken to a shelter and have it scanned, but I know it works. None of my present cats will tolerate a collar, they actually fight to get them off, Mac is especially adept at this. I don't want to stress Ming because of his FLUTD tendencies, so, microchips it is. If he's worn one before, he should tolerate one now. Keep trying.

Break away collar gets my vote, lol.

Make sure Highway is NOT looking to read this: I have 2 who figured out how to snag the breakaway collar on furniture and get it off, so they don't wear collars.

Mine are indoor only; no kids here, just Dad and I so I don't worry about them getting out by mistake either.

Freedom - Highway has not figured out how to read but he does know how to make the collar come off, hahah is why it was missing for 6 months, lol. Thank you both for your replies

Weird. I have never collared my cats, all indoors. I think I toyed with it one time when I fancied strutting my RB Tuxie, Tex, around, but it never materialized. I guess I don't 'get' collaring an indoor only cat.

And, from what I have read- harnesses are not meant to be worn like collars. They are unsafe, apparently, if there isn't close supervision. Just passing along what I have heard.

I put a collar on Boo when I first got him b/c he's such a beautiful black cat. The collar was rhinestone studded but it didn't matter to Boo. He chewed through that thing in a matter of minutes. I put another one on him and he did the same thing. So no more collars for Boo or any of my Fur Posse. I've had up to 8 cats at once and none of them have had collars b/c they're all indoors and I don't see the sense in it. To each his/her own.

My Found Cats all hate collars , and run around knocking them off.
I used to use Ova Collars , but got tired of getting new 20 dollar collars!!!
