Do you worry that your cat doesn't have a collar?  |
| |
| I got my cat when he was 10 weeks old. He had never worn a collar prior to this. I tried to put a collar on him and he fought me so much I eventually gave up. He's 4 and a half now and I never really worry too much that he doesn't have a collar because he's an indoor cat. There's just sometimes that slight small fear that he'll get out somehow and I worry. Does anyone else have problems with their cat not wanting a collar? | | | | | |

| | My cat does not wear a collar either. He is an indoor cat too. The time he did get out he was right back at the door meowing to try and get back in. | | | | | | |

| | That's what I always hope will happen if he ever gets out. I don't usually worry too much, but sometimes! Does your cat just not want a collar? or did you never try? | | | |

| | Collars can be dangerous on an outdoor cat. It's just as well that yours doesn't wear one & is kept inside. | | | | | | |

| | Breakaway collars solve that problem. But I do agree that cats do need to be indoors. It's safer for them. | | | |

| | I would never let my cat out. He's such a scaredy cat anyway when I have let him out on my front stairs (I block his way down the stairs!) he's ran back inside at the sound of any noise. He'd never survive! I would do a break away collar if I could ever get one on him. | | | |

| | All my cats wear break away collars which is VERY important. One of mine didn't like it and kept taking it off, but I kept putting it on her and eventually she saw it my way and the collar is on. | | | | | | |

| | When I got my cat his first sets of shots from the vets after I got him he was very groggy and sleepy so I thought I'd use that to my advantage for the collar, it didn't work. He uses his back paws and pushes the collar away from his neck, I think he's a lost collar cause! | | | |

| | Mine use their claws or each others's claws to make the plastic break away piece break. | | | |

| | I have had quite a few cats over the years. All of them have been indoor cats. None of them wore a collar, as they didn't like it. I am very careful not to ever let them out, so I do not worry. | | | | | | |

| | That's good. i'm always careful too, my landlord isn't. We've gotten into a few times because he's known me for about 9 years since I was 16 so he forgets that i'm now an adult. When he needs to work on the apartment I live in he does it without telling me. One time the direct tv guy was here and he left my door open and at the time i didn't have a screen door. my cat could have gotten out so easily! that's what scares me. | | | |

| | My cat's got a collar, with a little bell he enjoys a lot to ring tossing his head. It is impossible to take away such collar: he loves his bell, and once we tried to change it with another one making a slightly different sound, he was confused, so that we went back to the pet shop owner and had to find exactly the same bell as before. What about such collar? I am afraid because we have never put the cat's name and address and phone number on a medal at is neck. We had bought a little metal capsule containing a piece of paper where you can write cat's data but we never used it, neither we want to go to the veterinary to have a microchip placed under our cat's skin! bye | | | | | | |

| | aww that's so cute that he didn't like the new bell! my cat haaates the bells. my parents got cats from the humane society and they came with the microchips. I almost wish I had that for my kitty...just in case. | | | |

| | Yeah the microchip thing is a great thing, I don't have that though. My cat fights with claws and teeth. He hurts me more than I can bother fighting him. He uses those back paws to boot me away and everything. I just figure at this point it's far too late. | | | |

| | As long as he's an indoor cat, I wouldn't worry too much about him not having a collar. Our cats have lived inside their whole lives and they have never worn collars. Only one of our cats will even permit having a collar on at all. Just make sure you keep a close eye on the doors, he doesn't try to escape, does he? If he seems happy being inside and collarless, I would let him do things his way. | | | | | | |

| | sometimes he wants to see outside. and i'm like Noooo. He gets scared easily and runs inside right after he gets out anyhow. But we totally have fox and things around my house and uh.. my cat would probably be eaten. | | | |

| | My cat is a 20lb MaineCoon and I've never been able to find a break-away collar that fits him. I used to put a (dog) collar on him when I took him to the vet, so if he escaped from the car atleast he'd have ID. But he could take it off in a few minutes. I got him a microchip and now I don't worry about it. Our county animal control can cross-reference their chip number with their license number if you give it to them too, so you don't get in trouble for them not having their licenses on either. | | | | | | |

| | wow. Yeah i think the chip thing is a great idea. I don't have that either though. I don't worry too much, it's just my landlord sometimes forgets I have a cat if he comes over when i'm not in. most of the time he ALWAYS closes my bathroom door which is where my cats litter box is. it's ridiculous. | | | |

| | Better than a collar if he gets out is to microchip him. Its only like $30 bucks, but then he'll never loose it & you have a good chance of getting him back if he ever gets out. | | | | | | |

| | It's definitely something I'm thinking about. For those "Just a chance" sort of thing. | | | |
