FAQs
Can I leave this collar on while applying flea drops?
No, you must remove the collar before applying liquid flea treatments. Chemicals may react with the buckle and material, potentially damaging the product or harming your cat.
Is the collar adjustable?
Yes, the collar features an adjustable buckle to fit various neck sizes comfortably.
Why does the collar have an elastic section?
The elastic section is a safety feature that allows the collar to stretch if the cat gets caught on a branch or fence, preventing them from getting stuck.
Is this collar suitable for kittens?
While the collar is lightweight, please ensure your kitten is large enough to fit the collar safely according to the two-finger rule.
Does the bell actually protect birds?
The bell provides a warning signal to birds and small mammals, which the RSPB suggests can help reduce the frequency of successful hunts by cats.
Troubleshooting
The collar seems too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckle length and re-verify the fit using the two-finger rule.
The bell has stopped ringing.
Check if the bell is clogged with debris or bent; gently clean or replace if damaged.
Buckle is difficult to open.
Ensure no fur is caught in the mechanism and check for debris buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Fitting the collar correctly is vital for your cat's safety. When placing the collar on your pet, use the 'two-finger rule'—you should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your cat's neck to ensure it is neither too tight nor too loose.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the collar away from liquid flea treatments; chemicals in these products can degrade the material and buckle.
- Periodically check the collar for signs of wear and tear.
- Clean the collar by wiping it with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
