Your collar should be snug enough to fit but loose enough
that two fingers can fit between it and your cat's neck. Let your cat get used to their collar for a few minutes before taking it off. Reinforce your cat's behaviours
throughout, give it tons of praise, pats, and a few treats when they comply.
Breakaway safety cat collars with ID tags can help to keep your cat safe and identify them quickly if they get lost. With outdoor cats this can easily happen, but even indoor cats can escape through an open door or window, so indoor cats can also benefit from wearing a collar and tag too.
If you aren't willing to curb your feline's wanderlust, a common alternative is to attach a bell to her collar to alert wildlife of her approach. Studies have shown that whether bells on your cat collar, help prey escape from cats, and the general consensus was yes!
A well-fitting, comfortable cat collar should be suitable for long-term wear. However, there may be times when you will need to take your cat's collar off. You may be advised to take your cat's collar off following routine
vaccinations, or when administering treatment at back-of-the-neck such as a flea spot-on.
Even indoor-only cats should wear collars, because if your
cat does get out, a well-meaning person may think your cat is a stray and take her to an animal shelter. With an collar and an ID tag, your cat has a better
chance of safely and quickly getting back home.
If you decide to walk your cat on a leash, it is crucial that you attach this to a harness rather than a collar. Cats can easily slip out of collars or may choke if they escape and become entangled. Also, a proper cat harness rather than a dog harness should be used as these are more comfortable and secure.
