My four year old neutered male cat is being integrated into spending a bit of time outside under supervision. The problem is he takes his collar off all the time (which has our contact details on it).
I have tried all different types of collars and he just hooks a dew claw into the collar under his chin and slips it off over his head. He also takes off his buddy Missy's collar for her and I have seen him try on the dogs (though he is yet to succeed).
After years of him miaowing at windows and doors, putting holes in flyscreens and trying to dart past me when I go in and out the house, I took the hint and am letting him have a little play outside.
He is microchipped but I am concerned that he would have to make it to the pound for it to be read, which is very unlikely with a cat. I have replaced so many collars and paid for so much engraving! When he sees me holding new collar the chase is on!
Any ideas how I can get him to keep his collar on or a collar he may not get off? Until then he is looking out the window with a sad face!
