But they were chubbers even as kittens, so size wasn't an issue. I got my very manly man cats plain red & blue collars at Petsmart or Petco. Yeah, I'm probably overthinking it, but there you are. Now I have a plan for what to do with my cats if I have to evacuate. I started thinking about this after Katrina & hearing about all of the pets who got left behind because the shelters wouldn't allow animals. If you ever need to evacuate from your area for whatever reason or kennel them, it'll be good for them to have ID. If you have to travel with them, or if you have to ship them somewhere, like in the cargo bay of an airplane, you'll want them to be wearing ID. It's good to get your cats used to wearing a collar in case they ever need to. Hopefully none of those things will ever happen!Ģ. Someone in my neighborhood just lost their 2 dogs who ran away in fear after a house fire. They could also get out if someone breaks into your house and leaves a door or window open, or if you have a house fire or some other disaster that causes a lot of chaos. Cats can escape through open doors and popped out window screens. On the tags are their names, my number, and "indoor cat," so that if they get out and someone finds them it's clear that they don't belong outside.ġ. I have 3 indoor cats, all chipped, and they all wear collars with tags. posted by mesha steele to Pets & Animals (27 answers total) 3 users marked this as a favoriteĭefinitely a small collar with a tag if he'll tolerate it. Ideally, I'd like something in a solid color like red or bright blue a bell might be nice, since he tends to get underfoot, and it'd be nice to have something to alert me before I trip over him. They don't seem too appropriate for such a fierce big boy like Boris. Is it worth it to buy him a collar when admittedly, the possibility of him ending up outside is rather remote?īonus question: If the collar is a good idea, where can I find a decent kitten-sized safety collar? I've found a couple online, but they are rather hideous, what with the ruffles and rhinestones and all. If he had a collar with ID tags (plus his rabies tag and/or city pet license), it would be more immediately apparent that if he's outside, he's lost. Though he hasn't even ventured down the stairs yet (which are inside my unit), I am a bit concerned that he might get outside if maintenance workers leave the door open when I'm not there or something.īecause of the microchip, I know if he got lost and ended up at the shelter or a vet's office, I would be notified however, the chip won't help if no one took him there. He's definitely going to be an inside only cat I live in a second story apartment with a fully screened-in balcony that he'll be able to explore in due course. Boris (sorry for the lack of pictures but he's solid gray with blue-green eyes for those of you out there with vivid imaginations) has already been microchipped, thanks to the shelter but I'm wondering if I should get him a collar to wear as well. It does not store any personal data.I recently adopted a 4-5 month old kitteh from the local animal shelter.
