Cat Collars for the Stylish Cat

Collars make a fun gift for your cat and any cat lover on your list. You can surely find unique pieces that please most tastes and fit most budgets. They are very practical gifts too.

Certainly, accessorizing your pet can be fun and affordable. Many pet stores carry pet collars and necklaces that cost less than $20.00. You can also find pieces of fine pet jewelry reasonably priced. For extra fun, you could even buy cat collars that match your own outfits!

Selecting the right collar

Correct size

Measure the size of your cat’s neck to make sure the piece you select fits properly. This suggestion applies to both collars and necklaces. Generally, for cats you can go with the smaller sizes. Sizes go from extra-small to extra-large (usually larger sizes are for dogs). As an extra precaution add 1-2 inches for a comfortable fit. If you prefer, you can get an adjustable collar.

Safety

The piece you select must be safe. Check the buckle to make sure it works properly. If you prefer, you can get collars that allow the buckle to release if the collar gets caught. For extra safety, you might want to get a reflective collar for your cat.

Materials

You can find collars made of nylon, leather, denim, faux fur, and faux lizard leather. Some collars are made of stretching fabric for extra safety. Again, no matter what material you choose, the collar must be safe for your pet.

Accents

If you want your cat to really stand out, you can get him or her beautiful collars encrusted with rhinestones, crystals, and even gemstones! Even less expensive nylon collars can look beautiful and fashionable when adorned with crystals and rhinestones!
