Hello, I'm YOKO from Poponeko!
"When can I start putting a collar on my kitten?"
"Will a collar stress them out?"
"Is it okay to attach a bell?"
It's natural to feel anxious about your beloved cat's first collar.
To answer these questions from cat owners, we'll introduce how to choose a "stress-free collar" that's perfect for kittens and first-time collar wearers alike.
When is the right time for a cat's first collar?

It's recommended to start putting a collar on your kitten around three months of age.
By three months, their bodies are more developed, so a collar is less of a burden. This timing is also ideal as the risk of them escaping or getting lost increases.
Many cats dislike collars, but playful kittens often accept them easily. Let's help them get used to their collar happily while playing.
How to choose a stress-free collar that your cat won't dislike

The reasons cats dislike collars are their weight and comfort. When choosing a stress-free collar, "lightness" and "material" are key.
What materials are recommended?
For a first collar, a light and soft-textured cotton material is recommended.
It's breathable, making it safe for a delicate kitten's skin. While leather collars are stylish and durable, they can be stiff and heavy, so it's best to avoid them until your cat is accustomed to wearing a collar.
What shapes are recommended?
Collars of the "scrunchie type," which have no clasp and stretch with elastic, are recommended because they are easy to put on and take off and are less burdensome for cats. They are very light and tend to slip off naturally if caught on something, making them safe for active kittens.
Is a bell on the collar necessary?
While a bell on the collar can help you locate your cat, the sound can be stressful for cats with excellent hearing.
Start with a collar without a bell, and once your cat is used to the collar, you can try a small bell. Since it depends on your cat's personality, it's important to observe carefully to ensure the bell sound isn't causing stress.
For a first collar, choose Poponeko's "Scrunchie Cat Collar"

When you watch a kitten, they roll, bounce, and then suddenly fall asleep. They can be like an uncontrollable rubber ball, and sometimes a bit precarious.
Even such a kitten can safely wear a collar. That's the "Scrunchie Cat Collar."
Only 4g, and easy to put on and take off!
Poponeko's scrunchie cat collar weighs only 4g. It's so light that your cat will forget they're wearing it.
To put it on, simply slip it over their head. There's no buckle to snap, so putting it on and taking it off is instantaneous. No fine size adjustments are needed either.
Safe with gentle materials
We've also been particular about the fabric, carefully selecting natural materials like cotton and silk, and stretch materials perfect for energetic cats.
The material is soft to the touch and a gentle choice that helps prevent collar bald spots. For delicate cats, each one is handcrafted by artisans.
Commitment to safety design
Even if it gets caught on something, the safety design allows it to stretch and slip off easily. It's not just cute; it also has safety features. Energetic kittens and cats who love high places can feel secure.
Make their collar debut stress-free

Poponeko's "Scrunchie Cat Collar" comes in four sizes: S, M, L, and LL. This means not only kittens but also adult cats and senior cats wearing a collar for the first time can wear it with peace of mind.
Since a good fit is important, please measure your cat's neck circumference first. (Reference: Cat Collar Size Chart and Measuring Guide)
Once your cat is accustomed to the collar, you can attach separately sold "bells," "charms," and "ID tags." We'd be delighted if you choose Poponeko's scrunchie cat collar for their memorable collar debut.
