Response from (---MIKE---):

AR asked:

What I was really asking was if the
collar was made looser would it then
be OK to then stop it from opening?

I would think a looser collar would be more likely to get caught on
something than a tight collar. The safest bet is no collar at all.

That is what I was thinking. Either a SNUG collar or no collar at
all. We toyed with the idea of having Gabby wear one and it was the
cutest thing... she played with it forever (it was a little too big
for her so we looped it and it stuck out). Then one night I noticed
her yowling (crying) a lot and finally I just said, "You want that
collar off don't you?"

I began to pull at it and she seemed to really lean into me. I took
it off and she proceeded to pounce and maul it maliciously. She DID
NOT like the collar.

And honestly it makes no sense whatsoever to collar a cat with a
reflective collar. If she is in a position to get hit by a car she
is going to get hit.

I mean... I think of all the deer, rabbits, turtles, and other
miscellaneous critters we have ran over in the last 2 or 3 decades
and if they had been wearing reflective collars I am fairly certain
they would have still been creamed.

The collar is so he doesn't get mistaken for a stray, and if he
wonders further than normal, and gets a bit lost. It holds an ID tag
that has his name, address and phone # on it, so hopefully someone
will call to get him back to us. I was afraid someone would take him
in otherwise, thinking he didn't belong to anyone.- Hide quoted text -

That is one reason I collar my pussy. A neighborhood kid was trying
to catch her thinking she had no home. However the main reason I gave
her a collar is the bell. I'm so scare that I might accidently slam
the door at her again.

You know, that IS a good point. I didn't think of that. I am not
sure of the cost involved but you might want to consider that pet
GPS/ID RFID chip or whatever the heck it is called nowadays...

This way you can track your cat if he becomes lost or if someone has
a pet scanner they can read that he has an owner and return him.

If you feel that a collar is still the way to go and you want to
waste a lot of money, you could try:

After thinking about it further I doubt this will work for a cat.

I think this because if Global Pet Finder (someone I am familiar with)
does not have a solution for cats, then I doubt that above URL does
either.
