Fancy Cat Collars for Outdoor Cats

Outdoor Cat Collars

If your cat loves the outdoors, it’s a good idea to use a cat collar. It tells people that the cat has a home. And in case if it gets strayed or lost, your contact details will be available for anyone to contact you.

Fit should be your first and foremost consideration when buying a cat collar. If the collar is too tight it can interrupt with kitty’s air and blood supply. If it’s too loose, the collar can get caught up on branches and fences while your cat is out playing. Cats have skills of getting out of any collar that’s too loose. According to American Humane, you should be able to easily slip two or three fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck. For kittens and still growing cats you’ll want an adjustable collar to allow for some growth or weight loss, but make sure you check the fit on a regularly.
