I’m here for information on my indoor/outdoor collars that keep coming up missing & I believe it’s bc I’m always getting the breakaway collars, every week and sometimes every other week my cat loses his collar and I definitely have it on the right way & have even bought one that is vet made with additional clamps on it and I was positive there was no way it was coming off & to my surprise it was off again….. AHHH!! So annoying but my cat is all white and I just know someone is gonna take him home thinking he has no owner, if I try keeping him inside he will spray on literally EVERYTHING, he’s my stepdaughters cat & he needs fixed and I’ve told her a million times to make sure he gets fixed so who knows how long it’s going to take her, I’m not paying for it so it’s up to her & then maybe he will stay inside.

Breakaway collars don’t work for some cats, especially those who don’t like wearing a collar. A cat who is determined to get their collar off will be able to with a breakaway collar by scratching it off.
Either that, or you have a particularly wild cat who gets in a lot of situations in which their collar gets stuck on things. If that’s the case, the collar is doing what it’s supposed to - breaking away so your cat doesn’t choke himself.
Unfortunately there isn’t a very safe alternative. If your cat is getting stuck on things a lot, then a regular non-breakaway collar would definitely not be a safe option.
Like you said, the best thing that can be done is getting him neutered so he will stop spraying and can come inside. Neutering would also likely help calm him down so he isn’t so wild, and then maybe a collar would work better for him.

When a cat has been wearing a collar for awhile and then it is removed, they look bare naked and nude.

[@kittycatgoadventures]

Haha that’s so true!

Thanks this is helpful

[@guillaume9839]

I’m learning my cat to go outside so i bought a collar. He tries to get it out with his mouth so im scared he might choke on it. It’s a basic collar and i can fit about 2 fingers in between the collar and his neck. Is this good? Or should i buy a break-away cat collar?

[@kittycatgoadventures]

If he’s able to get his mouth around it, you might want to tighten it. I’d also recommend a breakaway collar

[@guillaume9839]

@@kittycatgoadventures he isn’t able to get his mouth under the collar but he tries to, thanks for the recommendation

[@cirimpufka]

a week or two? no collar for my baby

[@cattelia]

If you want to know about the actual collars and not, should my cat wear a collar, skip to post 4 minutes.

[@kittycatgoadventures]

And that’s why there’s timestamps in the video description 🙂

What type of cat harness do you use

[@kittycatgoadventures]

I have a few that I use regularly - the Adventure Kitty Harness by RC Pets, the Mynwood Cat Jacket, and the Cat School harness

[@mattierichardson1116]

I can not get my cat collar off, I been up all night and she want let me take it off and it is to tight what can I do, I call emergency but she runs from me and I can't get her in her cage. I am afraid it is going to choke her

[@Mandakinz9]

I hope you were able to get it off of her. In those situations you have to do whatever necessary to get ahold of them even if they’re not thrilled. Barricade the hallway-close doors-use a broom to get them out from under something. It SUCKS but it’s for their safety.
Hope your girl is ok
