Hiya,
I have tried many times to get my 1 year old black cat Jasper to get used to a collar. I've used catnip spray on it and he's played with
the collar so his odor is on it but when I put it on him his mood changes from happy and energetic to low and the pupils go big in his eyes.
I toss a toy away from him and he just walks a step or two and then sits. If I have the collar off him he runs after the toy. He was a
stray cat before he was in the shelter last November when I adopted him so I guess he has never had a collar on him.
Does anyone have any ideas? I give him a treat when he does well when I put the collar on but he feels uncomfortable wearing it.
If anyone has any ideas and solutions to get Jasper to get used to his collar I would be most appreciated.
I took off the bell on the collar as he hated the sound of it and he is microchipped but I do have an id tag to put on the collar
which I will slowly put it on when he gets used to the collar. I'm doing baby steps on all Jasper's new things that he has to
get used to as he was on the streets although I don't know his background history.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
Meow!
