Cat Accessories to Wear: What to Buy Today Three things go on a cat, and they answer three different needs. A collar, for identification. A harness, if you are going to take the cat outside on a lead. A recovery cone, for the ten days after surgery. Everything else on this shelf is a variation on one of those three. In stock as we write: the Pets Pot Premium Cat Harness at ₹440, the M-Pets Diamond Cat Collar at ₹325, and the Zeal Pet Elizabeth cat cones in four sizes from ₹240 to ₹380. The cones are filed under our cat supplies and surgical accessories rather than here, so ask if you cannot find them. Three rules before you buy anything a cat wears. A cat collar must be quick release. This is not a preference. Blue Cross: "Avoid using non-breakaway or elastic collars on your cat." The reason is specific and grim. "If your cat manages to get their front leg through the collar then it can cut into the skin behind their shoulder or on the leg, leaving a nasty wound. This can get very infected and take a long time (and even major surgeries) to heal." Collars also catch on branches, fence posts and a cat's own jaw during grooming. A quick release buckle means that when it snags, "they can pull away and leave the collar behind, instead of getting trapped themselves." If a collar you are looking at does not say quick release, breakaway or safety buckle, assume it is not one and ask us. Never clip a lead to a cat's collar. A frightened cat pulls with its whole body against its own neck, and a quick release collar will do exactly what it is designed to do, which is come off. Leads attach to a harness. If you want to walk the cat, the harness is the purchase, not the collar. Two fingers. Blue Cross again: "You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your cat's skin." Loose enough and the cat gets a leg through it. Tight enough and it rubs. Check it weekly on an adult and every few days on a growing kitten. What to Buy for What You Need What you want What to b
