i feel so bad i put a collar on my cat for the first time it was good at first, I made sure its tight but not so tight so he doesn't get chocked. In the first days he tried to get it off but couldn't. later he stopped trying and everything was fine i thought he got used to it. Until one day i was in my bedroom and suddenly i heard a really loud scary sound it was a really unusual disturbing sound so i ran to see what was happening and it was my cat he was going CRAZY he was all around the floor! the collar had got stuck in his mouth and he was in so much pain. he was rolling all around the floor trying so hard to remove it. when i got closer to him his mouth was already BLEEDING from the sides i guess it ripped his mouth and i couldn't get a hold of him cause he was going so so so CRAZY and wouldn't give me a chance to touch him he was scratching me all over it was so PAINFUL he gave me deep wounds but he was going so wild and in the end i was so scared that he would die or something. so i grabbed him anyway and i cut off his collar with scissors, he was free and ran off right away. but later on he didn't eat at all. i think he couldn't chew because of the pain in the sides of his mouth. few days later my mom called me and asked where did his collar go and why he isn't wearing it. i told her what happened but she told me to put it on him again. and i thought maybe i should make it more tight this time to be sure that he won't be able to get it up to his mouth. so i got another type of collar and i put it on him tighter and made sure its not chocking him. and later on it happened again....... god im so dumb.
well now i got rid of all the collars in the house and i'm never putting a collar on him again or any other cat. but i'm still wondering how some people manage to put it on their cat without this happening to them? like what am i doing wrong? i know they say that if a cat is stressed about it you shouldn't put it on them but my cats were only stressed in the beginning and then they wouldn't show any sign of being stressed about it.
