do your indoor kitties wear collars?

My current kittens don't wear collars as they are show cats, they are microchipped though.

Past cats all wore collars with name tage, they were all 'chipped as well.

Both mine wear collars and have microchips. I adopted Odo when he was about 12 years old. I don't know what his history is, but he has no problem wearing a collar. Zek, who is about 2, was fine with the collar the moment I put it on him. I added the tag several days later (it took a bit of time for it to arrive). My previous kitties also tolerated their collars without any issues. The cats I had in childhood did not. My mom's cat learned how to remove hers very quickly, and our other kitty kept losing his as well.

Mine all have collars which they wear if we have to take them out somewhere, and I randomly put them on just so they are used to them, but I don't leave them on them all the time. They are all microchipped also

Hennessy wears a collar with an ID tag (any more tags and he takes the collar off, I've yet to find his other tags at the moment... under the couch, I'm sure) because he likes to dash for the door when it's open.

Totally off topic...

everyone on here has the cutest kitties ive ever seen!all the pics in signatures are making me want my kitty more than ever....9 days to go til I bring Murfie home!!!!

We spent some time training Juniper that behind doors lies Squirty Monsters, and now he just sits there even if the door is open. We get to do it again when Cat #2 shows up in a few weeks.

Neither will wear collars or be chipped, at least for the foreseeable future. We do worry about them getting out, but for us it's more an issue of our neighborhood. There's dogs on both sides, and then dogs again past that. Behind is an alley, in front is a 1-way street. There's a feral colony up the street of about 10+ cats, fed by a group of families, and a few stray cats that wander through the yard on occasion (since, as mentioned, there's dogs on both sides). If Juniper were to get out, he would hopefully hide under the porch or deck, or rush back inside if we were there. If he got beyond that, we'd have more luck with posters than collars, simply because there's no way we'd get Juniper to wear a collar (and if we got him a breakaway one, which would be preferred, we'd wake up every morning to a collarless kitty ), and no one around here knows anything about checking microchips.

I wouldn't mind getting him a collar if he was more interested in the outdoors, but we've been focusing on training him and he's been excellent at learning that outside = bad.

nope, none of my indoor cats wear collars. One of the reasons is that they are persians and the collars can mat their fur.

I got a collar for Zane, but he hated it. Scratched at it constantly and once even got his rear leg caught in it! It was a nice one, too, from the American Library Association; it had the Dewey number for Cats woven into it. (Yes, they make one for [if you will pardon the expression] dogs, too.)

At the moment, Spooky Bear and Tabitha are the only ones wearing collars and tags. I plan on getting them for the kittens as well, but I'm waiting until they're done growing so I can get collars that will fit them as adults.

Nope but she is microchipped

All my kitties (and dogs) are collared and tagged at all times as well as microchipped. Collars can fail at times, tags can fall off, and microchips can be missed when scanned or animals just aren't scanned at all so I make sure to cover all my bases.

The majority of cats out there are not chipped so it is very easy to "forget" to scan, and just do a quick pass and not pick up a chip which is why I hesitate to rely on just the chip. I worked full-time as Intake Coordinator at an animal shelter and handled all of the incoming animals. Out of the thousands of cats we took in, I only ran into 2 cats with chips! Now, I was diligent about thoroughly scanning, but I know not all places are. Plus, Joe Shmoe off the street doesn't know what a chip is and might take the lost kitty without a second thought.

I also make sure to put on my kitty's tags "If I'm alone, I'm lost" Since outdoor cats are so common I wouldn't want someone letting my cat go on his way thinking he lives outside.
