I just recently adopted a couple of (adult) cats, and I'd like to put collars and tags on them. So I bought collars and got tags with their names and my phone number.
One of my new cats, Harry, is pretty laid back and I got his collar on him with no problem. He didn't like it at first, trying to play with the tag hanging at this throat
but he adjusted pretty quickly and I think he'll be fine with it.
The problem is with my other new cat, Misty. She's pretty skittish anyway and tends to run off, or at least scoot away by a few feet, whenever she for example hears a strange noise or if I move quickly in some way that she doesn't know what I'm doing, etc. So the problem is that whenever I walk towards her with the collar in my hand, she runs off, or at least out of reach.
Does anybody have any advice about how to get a collar on a skittish cat? Or should I just give up?
