Review on 🐱 Cat Mate Electronic Collar ID Disc: Enhancing Feline Safety and Security by Alicia Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

a necessary evil for collars, harnesses and leashes

good, not bad, but you know the expression. After 6 months of owning the door I had to buy 2 extra tags. I have two cats and one cat lost her collar twice and I found it once but the other cat managed to break it. I don't know how, but it doesn't scan anymore, which I didn't think was possible. You should really do two packs, they are way overpriced, in addition to a fairly expensive door. I mean, standard RFID tags in other applications cost only cents, CENTS! do. Considering a sealed plastic disc and waterproof label is good, it still can't be too much. I think they took over the printer/ink business model. They can also be much smaller. One of my cats is quite small, even grown, and his collar always ends up in his food. This may not be a technical issue as you can see how much extra plastic there is around the metal tag if you hold it up to a light. There are models in Europe and Canada that read a standard RFID implant instead, so this can be done at different angles and small. If labels don't go down in price I'll get one of these as soon as it's available in the US. FYI I solved the collar loss issue by using unbreakable collars. For those who are concerned, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found that the most effective collars were actually standard buckles and there were no major injuries in their sample group.
