Some stores sell the same collars for both cats and dogs, but we want you to know that's not right.

Cat Collars

Dog collars were made primarily to be an aid in restraining a dog. As such, they are made strong so the dog can't pull hard enough to break it. They make a great place to carry identification and licensing information, but that's a secondary purpose.

Cats live a different life, with lots of climbing and jumping. If the cat's collar gets caught on something, it must be designed to break-away, or the cat will be strangled. Most cat collars are made primarily for identification or to allow you to attach a bell so you know where your cat is.

Be sure you get a collar designed for cats, not dogs for your feline.
