HAHAHAHA I can picture all this SO well! Plus the emotional roller coaster from the happy buyer to the "oh no it's not working" reality check!

My cats do well wearing their collars. I was keeping the collars on all the time, even though they are indoor cats, because we were travelling so much. After about 5 months of this, I noticed that Ruffles developed a bare spot all around her neck under the collar. Now all the collars are off and in the closet.

Mine are all color coded too! And the ID tags are different, trying to reflect their personalities a little bit.
