Any decent pet store will have a wide range of collars for cats on offer. These vary from the functional (eg identifying your cat, flea collars) to stylish leather cat collars to the downright over the top.
If you do want your cat to wear a collar there are several steps you can take to make sure it is as safe and happy an experience for your feline as possible.
There is a right fit for cat collars. A cat collar should be quite tightly fitted. This means that you should be able to fit 1-2 fingers underneath it.
It is ideal to start your cat wearing a collar when it is a kitten if that is your intent. If your cat is older you may want to try having your cat initially wear its collar in a limited space for limited time.
Check the fit of your cat’s collar every couple of weeks. If your cat gains weight or is a kitten and growing at a fast rate it may well become too tight quite quickly.
Cats tend to tense their muscles when a collar is being fitted so do check the collar again a few minutes after applying it to make sure the fit is firm.
