Cat collars, on the cheap! Use plain elastic! Tie it. The beauty of a piece of elastic is that it won't choke a cat and works as an expandable "breakway" collar. Another cheap collar: Cut off the ribbed tops of old socks. Make five collars per sock. Nice and soft! This should also be listed under "what to do with old socks!"

Why not? These collars are innovative products that has a perfect fit to your pet's neck making it feel comfortable. It will not be a cause of any unwanted feeling for your pet like being throttled, hurt or choked.

My cat would try to play with the elastic, it's her favorite thing to play with elastic string (long pieces and she doesn't eat them just stretches them). But socks on a cat, that just seems kinda not safe and ugly. Oh well, to each his own, but I personally don't mind paying a few dollars for the break away collars, Wallyworld has them for less than $4, we then add a different bell for either cat, so we know which one is coming!

I agree that this sounds dangerous. If a cat is wearing a piece of elastic round their neck while they're squeezing through a tight place, part of the elastic could get caught and your cat may end up being strangled.

I know that I am unable to break the top of a sock with my bare hands, so I doubt that it would break away if a cat wore it. Please everyone, before you put elastic or any sort of material on a pet, test it yourself first to make sure that it will break if caught on a nail or something similar.

It seems to me this may be dangerous. I
think that a cat could get that tangled while outside, and it could just
become more and more tangled, and tighter....
