Jacob wears a collar (he loves his pretty collar with it's shiny tags) but Loki refuses. They're both indoor boys, but are microchipped.
Post pics & we'll give you opinions if she looks cute with a collar or not!Originally Posted by Trouts mom
Wow, thanks for all the replies. Trout doesn't mind the collar, but my ex always said she looks cuter without it...I don't know though...hmmmmmm..
I also think that if I saw a cat outside with a collar on -- I'd be more inclined to think he is owned and leave him alone. Our neighbor has an indoor/outdoor cat with a collar on -- to me that means "I am not a stray -- don't try to catch me"Originally Posted by SalemWitchChild
For those that just microchip another thing to think about is some people are not "up with the times". Many do not know about micro chipping or think about taking to the vet to scan them. So if you have a tag that says Micro-Chipped and the vets # at least they will be inclined to look into it. Remember not every person who finds a cat is going to know everything about cats or animals for that matter.
mine all do. it's not likely they'll ever get out [altho both Java & Chip have run out briefly] but 'better safe than sorry' is my motto. i use the Ragtime collars - they're breakaway collars, cotton, very light. they also have Boomerang id tags with their names, my home & cell numbers & the sentence - 'If you see me outside I am lost - Reward'. that way i can be contacted, but my name & address are not available.Originally Posted by Trouts mom
I always go back and forth, and am not really sure if I should have a collar on Trout..Do your indoor kits have collars?
There is like a 0.5% chance she would ever get outside.
