Do you worry that your cat doesn't have a collar?

Better than a collar if he gets out is to microchip him. Its only like $30 bucks, but then he'll never loose it & you have a good chance of getting him back if he ever gets out.

My cat's got a collar, with a little bell he enjoys a lot to ring tossing his head. It is impossible to take away such collar: he loves his bell, and once we tried to change it with another one making a slightly different sound, he was confused, so that we went back to the pet shop owner and had to find exactly the same bell as before. What about such collar? I am afraid because we have never put the cat's name and address and phone number on a medal at is neck. We had bought a little metal capsule containing a piece of paper where you can write cat's data but we never used it, neither we want to go to the veterinary to have a microchip placed under our cat's skin! bye

I have had quite a few cats over the years. All of them have been indoor cats. None of them wore a collar, as they didn't like it. I am very careful not to ever let them out, so I do not worry.

My cat does not wear a collar either. He is an indoor cat too. The time he did get out he was right back at the door meowing to try and get back in.

I don't really like having my cats wearing collars and it was only recently that they had to wear them. The local housing commitee where I live decided that we had to many stray cats around so they organised to pick up any cat not wearing a collar. So as mine are indoor/outdoor cats, they have to wear them, it was a struggle at first trying to keep them still while we put them on, but now the cats seem relaxed with them.

Collars can be dangerous on an outdoor cat. It's just as well that yours doesn't wear one & is kept inside.

my cat hasnt had a collar, i have never tried with one, and i wouldnt worry about one, especially if your cat is in an inside cat. my brother has a little house dog, that you cant put a collar on, she will sit there and wont move while its on and soon you take it off she runs around.

Well my smallest cat, Lily, had a problem with her collar at first, but she is used to it now. All my cats are outdoor cats and i would be too scared to let them out without collars. When one of my cats was run over last year, the fact that he had a collar with his name and our phone number saved us so much unnecessary grief, because we were contacted strauightaway instead of searching for a long time to find out what had happened to him.

My two cats are indoor cats, so there is absolutely no need to have collars on them. I dont like them either because they can be quite dangerous. If they are indoor cats and they get out, the chances are that they will want to come straight back in because they are scared of whats out there.

Ya know, I should add that I have a few of my cats in collars. 2 to help the visually impaired roomie to tell them from the other cats (those are bell less), 1 to help us hear her coming when she's headed for the outside door and 1 to let the other cats know he's coming (these have bells.)

My cat is an indoor one too and when he was kitten I tried to put a collar on him but I gave up because I didn't want to harass him. I think a cat doesn't need a collar if he is an indoor one.

My cat is a 20lb MaineCoon and I've never been able to find a break-away collar that fits him. I used to put a (dog) collar on him when I took him to the vet, so if he escaped from the car atleast he'd have ID. But he could take it off in a few minutes. I got him a microchip and now I don't worry about it. Our county animal control can cross-reference their chip number with their license number if you give it to them too, so you don't get in trouble for them not having their licenses on either.

My cats were both indoor cats and would never wear a collar. I tried as soon as I got them to get use to them. But they hated them. Now they go outside which worries me that someone will take them, but so far they've been good and don't really leave the yard. But you're not alone.

Neither of my cats wear collars anymore. They're both older and are indoor cats. One has a micro-chip, but I've moved so much that I still need to update it somehow.

As long as he's an indoor cat, I wouldn't worry too much about him not having a collar. Our cats have lived inside their whole lives and they have never worn collars. Only one of our cats will even permit having a collar on at all. Just make sure you keep a close eye on the doors, he doesn't try to escape, does he? If he seems happy being inside and collarless, I would let him do things his way.
