I got loose once and if Matt had not found me I'd have to wait until someone scanned my neck and hopefully their reader thing worked right. Sometimes they don't. I had taken off my collar myself with my front paw and ran out. I don't know why. I think Matt and I had a disagreement about my jumping on the stove and licking tomato sauce he just prepared. What can you do? Too easy or too hard. Sometimes it's a cat's time to go and you don't know why. Just treat us as nice as you can while we're here and hope for the best. I think you do that from what I read. :-)Buster Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604292833113108994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843936737804306598.post-81945634802673392152012-05-09T23:13:32.002-05:002012-05-09T23:13:32.002-05:00We are sad to read about what happened but please ...We are sad to read about what happened but please do not blame yourself.

Manufacturers need a kick up the backside as far as "safety" collars go. In the UK we've seen plenty sold under that name when they are just like the collar you described. It's very easy to make that mistake. A few years ago, a neighbour lost a young cat in very similar circumstances to sweet little Mary Read. Her Mum was devastated, but we should blame the makers, not the cat carers who are trying to do their best.<br /><br />We send you love and rumbly purrs<br /><br />Oliver, Gerry & MungoEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843936737804306598.post-82319682841341598952012-04-23T08:07:04.119-05:002012-04-23T08:07:04.119-05:00You may want to put the word out on this collar an...You may want to put the word out on this collar and manufacturer that it is not safe for cats.... it may help another kitty one day :( <br /><br />Its never easy to lose a kitty, even by accident.
