Whether your cat is an indoor cat, outdoor cat, or both, it's very important that you have a leash and collar close at hand if you ever need to leave your home in a rush. Most cats have no use for taking walks, but getting them accustomed to a leash is still a good idea if you ever need to take them to the vet or on a long trip.
Size is a key factor when trying to find the right collar or harness. Cats come in all shapes and sizes. Some are all fur, while others carry a few extra pounds. Itis vital to find the appropriate size collar or harness so that your cat is always as secure as possible. At Barkley's Pet Market, the helpful staff can help you in finding the best size collar or harness for your cat, regardless of what its size or shape. With their skill and expertise, they can show you how to appropriately place the collar or harness on your pet so that it fits snug but not uncomfortably.
Leashes are made from a variety of materials. Leather leashes are strong and durable. You can also find nylon-weave or braided leashes that are remarkably lightweight and weather resistant. There are matching leash and collar/harness sets, or you can mix and match a number of colors and styles. You can find collars that are extremely decorative or you can choose one that is plain and simple.
Individualized ID tags are a great way to let the neighborhood know who your cat belongs to. You can get personalized ID tags in various shapes. You can pick a simple name tag, or have your cat's ID tag personalized with their name and your address. By attaching the ID tag to their collar, it will make sure that they find their way back home if the unthinkable happens and they get lost. Having a collar and ID tag for outside cats shows that they have a home and it may even stop them from being picked up as a stray.
