"I was looking for a softer but sturdy collar for my four-month old kitten and was happy with my purchase."
"Really disappointed. After about a month of wear it’s completely destroyed. Not durable at all. The break away picks and chooses when to actually open. Comes off at the slightest tug but my cat was stuck this morning and it didn’t break off. Regret this purchase."
Bottom Line
We recommend this collar for its aesthetic and feeling, especially if you are looking for a collar for a young kitten who’s more interested in appearance than durability. But we caution against this product if reliability is your primary concern.
