[New Product] Cat collar now available in LL size! Can be worn even as they grow.

Nice to meet you! My name is CHIKAKO, and I’ve just joined the Poponeko studio team.

I love crafting so much that I even turned a room in my house into a dedicated sewing room. I enjoy all sorts of creative projects, from dressmaking to embroidery, sashiko, and leather crafting.

This is my first time making cat collars, and there are many more fine, detailed tasks than I imagined, so I spend my days somewhere between nervous and excited.

In this, my very first column, I would like to announce the long-awaited release of our new LL size.

The LL size is now available!

Until now, our collars have come in three sizes: S, M, and L, but we have now added an even larger "LL size" to the lineup.

Normal Cat Collar, Cat Collar with Ribbon, and Tirol Cat Collar—you can now select the LL size for all of our designs. Just choose "LL" on each product page and add it to your cart.

Actually, we have been receiving many requests for a size larger than L for some time now. I feel relieved and happy that we can finally introduce it as a standard size.

Here is a comparison of the sizes.

Choosing the right size is essential!

When it comes to cat collars, choosing the right size is the most important thing of all. If it's too big, that's no good, and if it's too small, that's no good either. It can lead to hair loss around the collar area.

Therefore, when buying a cat collar, please be sure to measure your cat's "nude neck size."

To find the nude size, use a measuring tape around the thinnest part of your cat's neck. A pro tip is to part the fur as much as possible while measuring.

At Poponeko, we provide guidelines based on "nude size = fitted neck circumference," so the actual collar size includes a little extra room.

A good fit is generally nude size + 2–4cm for kittens and short-haired cats, and nude size + 5cm for long-haired cats. You should adjust it so that one or two fingers can fit inside when it's on.

Please also refer to this article for how to measure your cat for the perfect collar.

Even as they grow, stay together with "Poponeko"

Poponeko's cat collars are lightweight and soft—we’re proud of that. They are gentle enough for kittens as young as six months old.

It's also wonderful to be able to choose a size as they grow.

Male cats in particular tend to get a little chubby around the face as they grow, which can sometimes make their current collar no longer a good fit.

It is also important to occasionally check that the collar hasn't become too small or too loose.

From their very first collar to when they are all grown up—Poponeko is there. Our cat collars will accompany your precious cat as they grow.

I hope our handmade collars can help make your life with your cat full of smiles.

I look forward to serving you in the future.

※The cat collar worn by our model cat, Cha-chan, is size M.
