Hey Mowgli . . . this is Josie. I like your collar. My meowmie put a collar on me when I was little. It was red and had a bell on it. It drove me crazy though! I ran around trying to get it off. Finally I got it up over my bottom jaw . . . it was hung in my mouth. Meowmie threw a fit . . . she seemed worried for some reason . . . so she picked me up and yanked it off. That's what I wanted anyway. So now, my meowmie only gets me collars with NO BELLS!!! I have one with JEWELS on it. I only wear it when we have guests though. But your collar is great!!! Very fashionable! And don't worry, you'll grow into it, just like I finally did!
