Although it is not always necessary to put a collar on the cat, depending on what situations it is highly advisable, since we can hook its identification plate on it and, in case it gets lost, it will be much easier to find it. So if you have decided that you want to put one on your furry, you are probably wondering how to choose the collar for my cat, Right?
There are many different designs, but there are really only 2 types. We are going to analyze each of them so that you can decide on one. Let us begin.
Nylon collar
Nylon is a soft material that does not bother the animal at any time. In addition, it has the advantage that it hardly weighs anything, so the cat, once it gets used to it, will feel like us when we wear a collar. You will know that you are wearing it, but in no case will it prevent you from enjoying your day to day life.
There are two different models: with and without a safety lock, and you can often find that they are also reflective, that is, they glow in the dark. How to choose the most suitable one? Well, if your cat is going to go outside, I recommend that you put one with a safety lock, since in the event that it gets hooked, it can get rid of it without putting its life in danger. But if you will always be at home, you can put one with normal closure.
Rubber collar
If you want to put a designer collar on your cat, you can opt for rubber collars. There are different colors: pink, red, blue ... They have a normal closure, and weigh a little more than nylon, so the animal will notice it more. For this reason, I would recommend this collar if you have a large cat, since although they do not weigh much, cats that stay small could get annoyed.
In any case, you choose the one you choose, it is very important that it is of good quality, because sometimes cheap can be expensive since it can cause allergies and other types of discomfort that may need veterinary attention. What's more, It is highly advisable that you remove the bell, because the constant ringing can cause damage to their ears, and they can end up deaf.
