When you bring your adorable new kitten home, the desire to buy things for them is a natural part of pet ownership. Kitten collars are a great way to do this.
As with all cats, a breakaway cat collar is essential. Part of your cat care routine means making you kitten identifiable so that if he or she does get lost, they can be safely returned to you.
When considering a kitten collar, you need to take into consideration a kittens weight. Because it is considerably lighter than an adult cat, you must look for a collar that releases under a very low release weight.
Reflective cat collars are useful in a kitten size. Although kittens should not go outside until they are six months old – there are many dark places around the home that are great for a curious kitten to explore!
Designer cat collars are often available in kitten collar sizes. Diamante cat collars look adorable on kittens and providing they are of the correct weight release – why not?
Please be aware that cheap cat collars probably will not be right for your kitten. Even thought they are small enough for your kittens neck, if they do not have the correct weight release then they could end up strangling your kitten. Kitten collars can get caught on your cat tree.
Many people consider a cat harness for their kittens, especially if they have a rag-doll kitten or if they have a cat that cannot be allowed to roam freely. A kitten should not be put into a cat harness or a cat harness and lead until they are six months old.
Then they can either be walked on a harness and lead, or be allowed outdoors after having proper injections, micro-chipping and wearing an appropriate collar. A cat flap is essential, just as important as a cat bed or cat igloo, whichever you prefer.
You can see that collars for kittens require a certain amount of thought – just any old kitten collar will not do!
