"The Countess loves her collar and the bell lets me know when she’s coming around me so I don’t trip over her."

β€” Marshall

"I bought this collar for my cat and the nighest concern is the elastic thats added to it for "stretch". This collar does not fit snugly because there's stretch to it, when my cat tried to groom herself while wearing it her jaw actually got stuck in the collar because it wasn’t snug and cannot fit ..."
