hi
i had a leather (or what looks like leather, could be man made) collar for my first cat that had a nice felt lining on the inside.
it buckled and there was an elastic section so that it could be gotten off in an emergency


i have googled and searched pet stores and so far i have not been able to find any collar like this

i esp like the soft lining on the inside of the collar, if it had different features from the orginal i suppose that would be ok, but it must be soft and fairly thin (i have cats with thick short necks)

any one have any suggestions??

i don't know where you can find the ones you're looking for... but i like Beastie Bands. they are soft & lightweight, cut to fit so very adjustable... & since Cable's managed to remove hers, i would say they're pretty safe as well. they come in many, many, many different colors & patterns. you can find them online at these places...

Robbins pet care (http://shop.robbinspetcare.com/cats/beastiebands.html)
Palmetto pet (http://www.palmettopet.com/beastie_bands)
here's a link to a pic of mine wearing them...

I'll second the Beastie Band recommendation. :bigthumb:

They have a soft, felt-like lining on the inside of the collar against the cat's skin. They're the only kind of collar that doesn't make Mr. Underfoot lose hair around his neck.

ah, would you mind very much measuring the width? i have looked at those but they seemed like they might be too wide for my short necked kitties....
thanks!!

and thanks again- this looks like it will work!

they're about 1/2 inch wide. they do cause Pixel problems; she hs a tendency to lose the hair right under her chin, & sometimes develop a little sore, so she is collarless - but the other two do, & Mouse did, just fine with them.
