so my and my gf think our cat has a 'second home' mainly because he has managed to lose his collar twice in a week. having worn one for half a year and not having problems we think someone maybe taking them off him. have searched around the garden etc to see if they have snaped off, (they are them anti choking ones) but we cant find them.

so any cat owners that can tell me anything i can do except kill every other person in the neighbourhood etc.

thanks

Antichoke collars fall off every where, they are pap. Our man of the house ditches his twice a week just walking around the flat.

our cat had one of for 6 months never lost it, it could be coincidence that he lost 2 in a week.
 
We have the safe ones, they always fell off. We now have proper ones, We also got little thing's that are like a metal tube inside there's a piece off paper saying our house number phone ect..
 
we got cat insurance and it comes with a little tag with the insurance number on to phone them if the cat gets lost.

am going to buy a proper collar and see how long that lasts, do you not worry that the cat could get it stuck and get choked?
 
Nah when we had a cat he always got his collars off, cats do it, just as dogs can get their muzzles off. (try not putting one with a bell on if you are putting bells on now, cats probably dislike it as it ruins their hunting skills)
Just get it chipped and leave it without a collar, if its in good condition people know it aint a stray.
 
got it microchipped before we let it out, dont think he realy cares about the colar on or off. maybe leaving without a colar is best bet.

( i was thinking about how to get a collar u can track or a camera u could put on him, always wondered were he goes off to)

lol, get a GPS transmitter on that collar.
 
Our cat doesn't wear a collar, but she is chipped. We're pretty sure she's going elsewhere, as despite only feeding her twice a day she still seems to be bulking up nicely :D

I would love to be able to fit a tracker, or night vision camera to see where she goes in the evening!

Tie a piece of string on it, then follow said string to find out where it is.

Back to the choking thing again.....When we used to have cats one of them got caught in a rabbit snare. He only bloody pulled it out the ground and casually wandered in the the catflap as if nothing had happened. Maniac cat
 
Our two go next door to see the old lady there. Possibly because she feeds them tuna!!

Don't mind really, she likes the company and they always come back here. Infact, Maggie comes in at 5pm and yaps at the missus if I'm not there and then sits around and waits for me (45 mins usually) and god help the missus if she talks to me before the cat gets her cuddle!!:D
