Don't want to make a mistake with your first cat collar? A scrunchie cat collar is safe even for kittens!

Hi, I'm YOKO from Poponeko!

"When can I start putting a collar on my kitten?"
"Will a collar cause stress?"
"Is it okay to use a bell?"

It's natural to feel anxious about your cat’s first collar.

To answer these questions from pet owners, I’d like to introduce how to choose a "stress-free collar" perfect for kittens and any cat wearing a collar for the first time.

When should a cat start wearing a collar?

We recommend starting to put a collar on your kitten around 3 months of age.

By 3 months, a kitten’s body has developed enough that a collar shouldn't be a burden. This is also the perfect time because the risks of escaping or getting lost start to increase.

While many cats dislike wearing collars, playful kittens often accept them quite easily. Let's help them get used to wearing a collar in a fun way while they play.

How to choose a stress-free collar your cat won't mind!

Cats often dislike collars because of their weight or comfort. When choosing a stress-free collar, the keys are "lightness" and "material.".

What are the recommended materials?

For a first collar, we recommend cotton material, which is lightweight and gentle on the skin.

Because it is breathable, it is safe for a kitten's delicate skin. Leather collars are stylish and durable, but they can be stiff and heavy, so it is best to avoid them until your cat is used to wearing one.

What is the recommended design?

We recommend "scrunchie-style" collars, which have no fasteners and stretch with elastic; they are easy to put on and take off and don't burden the cat. They are very light and easy to slip out of if they get caught, making them safe for active kittens.

Are bells on collars necessary?

A bell helps you keep track of your cat’s whereabouts, but for cats with keen hearing, the sound can sometimes cause stress.

Try starting with a bell-free collar first, and once your cat is used to it, you can try adding a small bell. It depends on your cat's personality, so it is important to observe them closely to see if the sound of the bell is causing any stress.
