Title: Cat Collars " Do Not Feed"
Post by: Tuftyclub on March 11, 2015, 22:19:23 PM

Trying to locate one for Tufty but those available on Amazon get really bad reviews because the writing rubs off and most if the pet supply outlets have discontinued stocking the Ancol brand ( which I've personally had issues with anyway)

Is there a company making reliable safety collars with writing?  :shify:

I've always used these ones (with address printed on rather than 'do not feed') and found them brilliant:

Be interested to know what you think of the ebay ones, they are a bargain price!

Indeed, the collars arrived very wuickly and are empbroideredso no issues with fading print. The catch is the oval type with barbed inserts that seem robust and not brittle and it does release under reasonable force, but not so easily that it would get pushed off during scratching or grooming.

One the down side they also have the adjustable band that can "travel" i.e. should the cat manage to snag just the outer piece of fabric the whole thing could close up and throttle the wearer.  :scared: I can overcome this with a stitch to prevent such "travel" and with this in place these will indeed be safe to use and good value once I've worked out the required length and stitched the adjustment buckle in place.

These don't have a bell but do have a split ring to add your own ID tag, so overall a good buy, with the aforesaid modification to make it safe.
