My little elderly feral has become tame enough over the years for me to put a collar & tag on her - I use her yellow microchip tag. However, someone in my neighborhood recently mentioned they'd lost a cat to a hawk. She spends most of her time hiding in the bushes and my garden area, and her brown tabby coloring makes her easy to hide. I wonder if adding a bright collar and bright yellow tag could make her more likely to be seen by a hawk or owl? She's a very small cat. I want her to be identifiable as a pet, but don't want to put her at risk from wildlife. Thoughts?

I think an Owl or an Hawk will see her no matter what - In my opinion, it is much safer to have a collar than not...
