Maybe they've put them in their jewellery box  :naughty: :rofl:

Sounds like you have a black hole in your house where everything disappears. I usually find things after I've bought another!

 :rofl: :rofl: It wouldn't surprise me in the least - I think they're just enjoying watching my confusion as I rake around looking for them :-[ :evillaugh:

Mine used to go under the boxspring and hook the collar over a spring and back out, leaving the collar hanging out of sight inside the box part of the base.

Seems there's a real crew of collar houdinis out there - glad my lot aren't the only ones ;) :evillaugh:

Strange they have both lost them, do they get out / anything new they could have gotten snagged on ?

They're indoor cats, so the collars must be around here somewhere. I'm suspicious because when Riley was a kitten he learned to scratch and twirl the collar so that the catch was under his chin, then get his mouth round it and bite down to release it. :shocked: He would then run off with it and stash it under the bed :rofl: He hasn't done this in over a year, but frankly I wouldn't out it past him :tired: I suspect they've just been playing rough and they've come off - Riley tends to "tackle" Skye by grabbing her by her scruff, so he might have bitten down on the catch and released her collar (she's never learned to get it off herself, unlike him).
The really baffling thing is I can't find them! Mind you, they are prone to playing with things like collars, and running about with them, so they may have been co-opted as toys and been dumped in a corner somewhere or under the bed :tired: :shify:

Max managed to get out of his new collar a few times as well the other week, not sure how!  He has a Kitty Collars one and the clasp etc is absolutely fine.

Maybe they're just telling us they don't like the colours  :evillaugh:

 :rofl: you may have a point! They both just have plain blue ones, so perhaps I should get some collars more suited to their tastes! :evillaugh:

Riley and Skye have worn collars since we got them (safety / snap-release ones, of course).....they each took a little while to get used to them, but adapted quickly and have been fine....but yesterday, I discovered Riley is missing his one, and try as I might, I can't find where the wee  :censored: has hidden it! :-[ As if that wasn't enough, today, Skye's collar has vanished, too, and is similarly elusive....I'm beginning to suspect a conspiracy :shify: :evillaugh:
