Both the fabric and thread are 100% cotton! We've created an all-cotton cat collar!

Hello, this is MIHO from Poponeko!

Lately, the breeze during my morning and evening commute has started to feel a bit cooler. Thinking that autumn is just around the corner makes me feel a mix of nostalgia and excitement.

Today, I’d like to introduce a new product born from the love owners have for their cats. It’s a cat collar crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the fabric down to the very thread.

Soft and fluffy Oxford fabric

For these all-cotton cat collars, we’ve chosen 100% organic cotton Oxford fabric. Since it’s a slightly thicker material often used for bed sheets and shirts, it feels incredibly gentle against the skin.

We’ve even used organic cotton for the padding in our ribbon-style collars.

The fabric is woven from organically grown cotton from fields that haven’t used pesticides or chemical fertilizers for over three years, with minimal use of chemicals during production.

We’ve carefully checked the origin and manufacturing process to ensure peace of mind for cats with delicate skin or those prone to allergies.

The reason behind our focus on 100% cotton thread

The reason we insisted on 100% cotton thread is that we received a message from a customer saying, "I am looking for a cat collar where even the thread is cotton."

They were worried after reading an article about a cat that had accidentally swallowed thin polyester thread from its collar, which unfortunately led to a fatal outcome even after emergency surgery...

Indeed, most sewing thread is made of polyester, which is tough to break.

If synthetic fiber thread is swallowed, it isn't digested in the stomach and can tangle around the stomach lining or intestines, leading to loss of appetite, vomiting, or in some cases, intestinal obstruction. This incident really brought home to me how a simple, thin thread can affect a cat’s life.

All-cotton cat collars

At Poponeko, we keep our stitch length as tight as possible to prevent the thread from fraying, but natural materials offer much greater peace of mind when considering the risk of accidental ingestion.

While being cotton doesn't mean it’s digestible, we created these all-cotton collars with the cat's safety and well-being in mind should the worst happen.

Compatible with metal allergies

Actually, cats can also suffer from "metal allergies." The skin where the metal makes contact can become inflamed.

Since a cat collar is something they wear all the time, it can be a real concern.

To address this, our newly released all-cotton cat collars now include a "metal-allergy-friendly model"! Instead of a metal buckle, we use a transparent resin buckle that carries little risk of causing an allergic reaction.

Of course, you can still attach a bell or ID tag to the resin buckle (using double rings).

Four gentle colors unique to organic cotton

Our all-cotton cat collars are available in two types—standard and ribbon-adorned—and in four colors: red, blue, mint green, and unbleached (natural).

Furthermore, you can choose the metal-allergy-friendly model for both the standard and ribbon-adorned types.
