If anyone here decides to put a collar (with or without a tracker) on a cat, please remember to use a breakaway collar!
These are designed to break off (as opposed to choking the cat) if they get caught on a fence or branch or something.
They cost next to nothing - and can save your outdoor cat's life.

- gadders 5y agoOur outdoor cat wanders the fields round our house, and loses a collar every couple of months. Occasionally the neighbours find them and return them. One of them looked like it had passed through a cow first.
- eatbitseveryday 5y agoNecessary for indoor cats? I also don’t really understand why they are wearing a collar when it can break off - info gets lost and you may never find them.
- BrS96bVxXBLzf5B 5y agoIt's a safety mechanism, not an intended outcome. If your cat gets lost ideally you end up with a wandering collared cat. But of the other possibilities, a wandering uncollared cat is preferable to the snagged alternative.
- notRobot 5y agoIndeed. Cat with no collar > cat who choked when their collar got caught on a fence.
