I have both for the dog because people are more likely to catch and
check on a dog's person here. The cats are microchipped even though
they are technically indoors only. Copper and Thomas travel with me
and it offers protection in case of a wreck....or in case Copper takes
an unauthorized walk...again. People don't seem overly concerned
about cats (shame).
I had a problem with a break-away on Mi Tu. She hung her paw in it
and it did not allow her to escape it. In fact, had I not been home,
she could have strangled herself. No more collars for my cats.

I never bothered with collars, I went ahead and microchipped my
furry pets.
There is a microchip clinic once a year in town that does it for $20.
Shelters and vets around me have gotten much better about scanning
stray
animals that come through.

I don't like collars on cats period. But I don't let my cats
outside. I've
seen several cats get those so-called break-away collars caught in
their
mouths trying to get them off. We had one at the Petsmart adoption
center &
luckily someone was there or who knows what would have happened.

My 15 cats lose their collars quite often and it gets expensive, so
now I buy beautiful breakaway collars on eBay, a dozen at a time for
$19.00 and free shipping. I also buy ID tags that all say REWARD and
my phone number, nothing else. This way they are all interchangable
and I always have a new collar ready to put on a cat who has lost
it's collar..... Some are very clever about getting them off.

Reminds me of the time I got Stormy a red collar with shiny
rhinestones. Oh, it looked so pretty on her grey fur! But every day
when I came home from work, the collar, still fastened, was sitting
right on the front step. Cat's way of saying, "I don't even think
so." Sigh. ~Bonnie
