I just ordered three of the Beastie band cat collars + slide on tags for all three of my indoor cats. But I have a few concerns about them.
None of my cats have EVER worn collars before (we tried breakaway collars on one of them, before we got the other two, but she always got the collar off literally within seconds of putting it on, even when tightened to the point that I couldn't even get a finger between the collar and her neck). I have a feeling that trying to put these new collars on them won't go over too well. How tight should I put them on? I don't want them to be able to pull them off or try to pull them off and get tangled up in them.
And also, I am afraid that my mother will get angry and take them off. She thinks that making cats wear collars is inhumane and that a cat can get the collar cought on things and choke to death. But there isn't anything that they can really get cought on inside the house (other than their claws).
Also, she thinks that putting collars on indoor cats is pointless.
2 of our 3 cats seem to have absolutely no interest in going outside at all (one of which actually seems very fearful of the outdoors, we could literally leave the back door wide open all day and she'd just sit in the doorway and never dare to go out the door), but 1 of them is getting a bit too curious for my liking (he ran out the front door twice, he only ever got a few feet outside the door before he was cought, but still I don't want him outside) and seeing as none of them are microchipped (which I would also like to have done), I felt the need to get them collars and tags, just in case.
I just hope that my mom will not take them off of them.
Does anyone have experience with Beastie Bands collars? From what I have heard they are very light weight and comfortable for the cats. Are they easily removed by cats like breakaway collars seem to be?
