In fact, cats are often polled as the second-most common household pet each year. Since cats are a common household furry family member, we wanted to take some time to tell you all about the best collars out there for your feline friends! Do Cats Even Need a Collar? First, let’s address cat safety. Even if your cat is an indoor house cat, it’s still important that you get them a collar. Collars are just one of the many ways you can keep your cat safe, regardless of their indoor or outdoor activities. While indoor cats tend to live longer and face less health concerns, there’s always a chance they can escape. Without a collar, your cat won’t be able to wear a tag. Tags typically contain vital information, such as contact information, medical information and info on their important vaccines. Without this information visible, if your cat gets out then there’s no way for anyone who finds them to return them to you quickly. We have a variety of silicone pet tags that are perfect for cats, and you can put on virtually any important info that someone might need to know. Another reason your cat probably needs a collar is based on where you live. Each locality has different regulations on what animals should have on them — otherwise, you could get fined. If you rent your home, then your lease or landlord might also require your cats to wear collars. This will help in case they escape, but it’s also a way for them to keep track of the pets you say are living with you. Avoid all the fines and hassle — just get your cat a collar!

Then, yeah, it’s a collar they’ll love. Cats are notorious for spending hours watching fish, birds or other critters swimming and flying about. It’s in their natural predator instincts! They’ll love a collar with a fish or bird design on it. Keep Your Kitty Safe with a Silicone ID Tag Anything bright: Bright colors are great collar choices for cats, especially if you take them outside. This way, they’re easier to see at night. For cats with a longer coat, a bright collar will help to stand out so that you and anyone else can see that they’re wearing a collar. A bright collar will pair well with any of our pet ID tag QR codes! A reflective collar: Speaking of bright, a reflective collar is the way to go. Whether useful for night time, getting out of the house or simply to help be seen around the house, a reflective collar is one that can save your cat’s life. Do yourself and your cat a favor — get them a reflective collar!

When your cat accidentally gets caught on a branch, the corner of a door or even on another cat’s claws, a collar that breaks away will come in handy, and it can potentially save their life. Some cat owners wonder whether a harness vs. collar is better. The truth is that both are great options to have. While you’d never just leave the harness on your cat when they’re indoors, you can use both the harness and the collar for the times when your feline friend wants to explore the outdoors. An adjustable collar: Some collars are one-size-fits-all. But, cats come in all sizes! It’s important for your cat to have an adjustable collar so that, as they grow and gain or lose weight, you can easily ensure that their collar fits them without too much concern for their comfort. Cats, while mysterious and often looking like they’re plotting to take over the world, are just one of many furry friends out there we choose to share our lives with. Keep them safe with a collar they’ll love!
