Hi all! The snow is melting (until we get another 18” on Thursday) The birds are returning and I’ve been leaving the blinds open for Buttercup to watch them, but my question is this:
I think she would enjoy some on leash outside time, but I’m afraid that if she loves it she may start bolting out and get in trouble. Should I open this can of worms or no? If so, I feel like a collar worn all the time would be safer so she would have tags at all times, meaning a collar that doesn’t safe release. Is that okay? I know most cat collars do have a safe release, but that would defeat its purpose if she ever (Lord forbid) got out. A harness sounds more secure, but she would only wear it when taken on leash and that would still leave her without tags the rest of the time. I’d like a permanent collar style collar with tags I think, but how dangerous is it really to have her wear that style collar? Maybe she should just stay inside? I know you all have so much experience- What do you all think? Thank you!!!
