It basically springs into a loop. If it gets caught, it just stretches apart. Probably as good as a breakaway collar. I forget how much thye wanted but it was rejected. I think it was called the "Happy Cat" collar.
Edit -just found it - no price though. http://happycatcollars.com/discription.html

I saw it and I've seen it somewhere before. Not sure it it's ever been mentioned on purrs before or if I saw it somewhere else.
-
Yes I saw it on Dragon's Den - I don't actually like collars, but thought this one seemed a pretty good design, and safe by the look of it.
-
good idea. its like memory wire bracelets. clever :shy:
-
I have given up on collars, Trouble loses his within a day, Cassies long fur gets bald under them. They are both 'chipped.
-
They have another website that mentions dragons den http://happycatcollars.co.uk/
Seems they are not available yet. OH & I were only saying this morning that a lot of people go on the show knowing they won't get investment but will get some exposure - It seems that is what they were after.
-
I've seen them before and thought they were pretty good. :) They were rejected on Dragons Den? Idiots!
-
folks you heard it here first!
I mentioned then after seeing them on display at the Glee thing either last year or the year before.
I thought they were very good - apart from definately not getting tangled they would never need adjusting so no more tight collars!

He says on the website "If you have arrived on this site as a result of seeing me on Dragon's Den, it was all worthwhile" - Rather him have 100% control with lower sales than being bled dry by a dragon for a large chunk of equity?
-
What a fab idea .... maybe something for the purrs shop .... or Xmas auction ;) We should contact them now and see if they want to donate to our worthy cause :sneaky:
-
How do ya reckon they work then. They look one size would they loop round the neck more than once? and if so if cat paw got into collar trying to pull off pulling twice the wrap round would it come off? or are they in diff lenths to only go round neck once and a bit where in that case it would be totally safe from getting caught.
I wonder how tight they are round neck and would they cause fur to come off underneath?
All praise to the guy who is trying to solve the dangerous collar problem ;D
-
Yes I think they are like those Indian bracelets that are like a bit of a slinky (remember those :evillaugh: )
-
I think they wrap around more than once, a cat would need really long legs to be able to pull it off I'd have thought?
-
that are like a bit of a slinky (remember those :evillaugh: )
Nope! ;) :evillaugh:

Remember them? I have one! :shy:

As most of you know I am one of the worlds biggest collar haters, although I have been known to tell people who really want a collar about Kitty collars., but I must say that after readimg these posts and looking at the site I am quite impressed.
-
I agree Ela. I just need to feel one before I'm fully swayed. I'm all for a collar that is really is 100% safe.

Not sure what you mean Tan :shy: Do you think perhaps that wrapping around neck fully twice might allow cat to get paw caught in it somehow?
I think I'll try one of these when they are available on Milly and see what happens. If a cat can remove one, she'll do it.
Also wonder if these may be small enough for cats under 6 months to use? Our two girls are so slim, even though they are soon 8 months, the collars are still a bit loose so not wearing them atm.

:faint: I never thought I'd read that written by you on a collar thread, Ela. They must look good! :)

I have shocked myself, ;D of course it will be interesting to hear the results when a few folks have tried them.
-
I saw it too - think the Dragons didn't invest coz the numbers didn't add up?? They did like the product tho , I think they look brill!
-
Im not convinced if a leg was put through it would come undone :shify: i dont think they look very nice either, abit cheap and natty.
He should research a little more and find out how flea collars work eg they dont!

I've been in touch with the guy a few times to try and persuade him to send me one ..... to no avail to date, must send another email. I missed his bit - did they say how much he was looking for?

:faint: ;) :evillaugh:
lol now i'm not quite about them ...yet :rofl:
ie would they be too close fitting to rub off fur?
-
I was very impressed with them at the Glee thing last year. Maybe he'll bring some samples this september!
-

I doubt they are tight - I'm sure they will get lost easily. Hopefully they are cheap :evillaugh:
I'm not a collar fan but if people insist on collars, these are poles apart from dangerous buckled or elasticated ones :)
-
I've seen them before - probably on Purrs. I quite liked the look of them.
I have two indoor cats who are chipped but not collared, because I had my doubts about the safety of collars.
However these did look safe, and hopefully adaptable - my two are Singapuras with quite small necks; I sometimes agonise over whether I should collar my boys in case they unexpectedly end up outside, or escape en route to vets etc.
However I did get fed up with the fact that though I checked back over a period of time, the site never seemed to get any further forward, or the collars become available for sale.

These collars are going to be £3.99 apparently - but they are still not in manufacture, should be soon, according to the email. :)
-
One good thing is they should be easy to put on a wriggling cat :evillaugh:
-
I'd deffo be interested for that price.
