No more neck irritation for your cat! 10 gentle cat collars

Hello, this is YOKO from Poponeko!

The Poponeko workshop is bustling with a rush of new "cat-friendly cat collars." Although our days are busy, we are keeping busy sending them out to all of you while being cheered up by photos of your beloved cats.

Each and every one of these is a product we are proud of. From the carefully selected fabrics to the meticulous sewing, these are cat collars we are proud to call "cat-first." That is why it truly makes us happy when cat owners who care about gentleness choose our products.

In this article, we would like to thoroughly answer the question we often receive from customers: "Which collars are especially gentle on the skin?"

Recommended cat collars for cats suffering from allergies or atopic dermatitis

First, we will introduce cat collars that can be used with peace of mind even for cats suffering from skin issues like allergies or atopic dermatitis.

1. Cat Collar: CLEANSE® × Organic Cotton

The softest collar in the Poponeko lineup is the "CLEANSE® × Organic Cotton."

Made with high-performance fibers that have antibacterial and antiviral properties, it suppresses the growth of bacteria that cause unpleasant odors and skin problems. It is a cat collar with a fluffy feel, much like baby underwear.

For cats with metal allergies, we have also added a version that uses a resin buckle.

Material	Organic cotton
Colors	5 colors (Pink, Blue, Gray, Navy, Ivory)

2. Cat Collar: Organic Cotton

Another one of our organic cotton cat collars. The natural colors in gingham, plaid, and stripes suit cats perfectly.

We use Japanese organic cotton, where the use of bleaching agents is strictly restricted, so it retains the cotton's original rustic color and fluffy feel. It is so gentle on the skin that you will want to rub your cheek against it.

We also offer a version suitable for cats with metal allergies.

Material	Organic cotton
Colors	4 patterns (Gingham check, London stripe, Block stripe, Solid)

Also for your kitten's cat collar debut

We also receive many questions asking, "Do you have collars for kittens?" For kittens, we recommend our "Silver Kitten" series in gentle colors.

Not only is it 100% cotton, making it gentle on both skin and fur, but we were also particular about using soft colors. Start by getting them used to the scrunchie type first.
