Review on Keep Your Feline Friend Safe With TCBOYING Reflective Breakaway Cat Collar With Bell And Ideal Size For Small Dogs by Nick Whitman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

LIFE-SAVING! Reflective strip works well at dark in vehicle headlights & clasp AVOIDS STRANGULATION

I bought these for my kitty kids, JUST IN CASE they were to get outside our 6' PVC privacy fence. (A couple of my cats can JUMP It, so they don't get to go outside at all.)Note that each collar comes with ONE bell attached, but they can be easily removed, with a simple twist, if you don't to be bothered by the sound. In the case of my precious Jeremiah (pictured), I put an extra bell on his collar (taken off of one of the other ones) because I wanted to make sure I can hear him moving around while playing hide-and-seek with me in the back yard bushes (meaning when he isn't ready to come inside when Mom says it's time to do so.)But anyway. Scared kitties tend to hide in bushes/trees (etc) when they are accustomed to living indoors, but then make the mistake of becoming overly curious and sneaking outside.Cats are also nocturnal, so it makes sense for worried parents to search for them AFTER DARK, using a flashlight. It is easier to find them when they are active, and easier to spot while hiding, when light reflects off the collar (and their eyes).I also REFUSE to put a collar of any kind on my kids that isn't breakaway because they like to jump up onto things and climb (both indoors and out). If they end up getting their collar caught on something like a fence, scratching post, chair, etc, etc, etc, a non-break-away could STRANGLE and KILL them!I've even had a kitty get their collar caught in their mouth before. meaning he tried to pull it off using his teeth, and instead got stuck with his mouth wide open. If he were to keep pulling on a non-break-away, he would have surely panicked and likely hurt himself while I wasn't home to help him.I have confidence that these collars will not harm my kids in anyway.Plus, the latch does not pop open TOO easily -- which was a problem I had with other break-aways in the past. They were constantly falling off. from simple things like playing and stretching.I ended up giving several of these collars to a neighbor who REFUSES to keep her handsome black mini panther indoors. I was so worried he was going to end up getting hit by a car at night because he is so difficult to see after dark, and does a lot of 'darting' across the neighborhood streets. I had to talk her into it, but she ultimately agreed to accept my offer and help protect her little one.Shortly after, I honestly believe the collar I had given her had likely saved his life because w/o the reflective strip, I would not have seen him about to dart in front of my car when I turned down my street! I immediately texted his mom to let her know how well the collar is working, and she was happy (but still won't keep him inside). SMH.I would DIE of guilt if I ended up accidentally hitting and killing a kitty (or dog).I BEG of everyone reading this to ONLY BUY/USE BREAK-AWAY SAFETY COLLARS ON YOUR CATS, AND SHARE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE KITTY PARENTS!I also highly encourage you to only use collars (on both cats and dogs) with reflective fabric (like these), even if they typically live indoors. It only takes ONE TIME for curiosity to get the best of them, then you end up losing your beloved baby to an accident that was easily preventable through use of these very affordable (and cute) collars.So click the "buy now" link already. then once your order arrives, immediately put them on your kitty kids, and share, share, share the rest, in order to help prevent fur kid deaths, and human heartbreak!

Pros
  • Low maintenance - wipe clean with a damp cloth
Cons
  • Collar may become a hazard if caught on furniture or objects
