My cat has a problem keeping hold of collars. She’s gone through three in the space of a year, if not more because occasionally we find them again and get them back on her only to have them disappear.
I keep saying I’m not going to replace the collar this time when she loses it, but then I find myself going through the pet supplies at our local store getting her a new collar and a replacement tag.
Maybe I’m the one who has a problem, but we do a lot for our kitty family members, I think it’s just the nature of me. It’s important to me that she has the collar so that if she gets separated from us there’s a chance someone will be able to return her, and animal control certainly should be able to.
I don’t know what I’d do if she ever got hurt. I’d be devastated that’s for sure, but I try to remind myself that I would be practical and if it was the case I would look at what was fiscally feasible let alone what would be best for her. However I know that if push came to shove I’d try everything I could to save her, despite claiming that she’s “just a cat”, because deep down she’s more than just a cat.
I also feel for friends when their pets are not doing well. Two friends of mine, one of their kitty-baby’s swallowed a sewing needle and has had to have surgery. They’re asking if anyone is so inclined that they give donations to help them cover the costs of this surgery: you can read more about it here. I’ve never met their cats, but I know the couple very well and they’ve always helped us out when they can, so I pass along the information if there are other cat loves out there who are able to help it would be appreciated.
