In addition to a harness and a leash, the cat needs a collar. A metal keychain is attached to it, inside of which a note with the owner's coordinates is placed. A great many lost pets owe such an "address" return to their owner.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a collar for your pet. However, remember that the collar can be a risk factor. Cats touch them by branches and twigs when they sneak up on prey or climb trees. An elastic collar does not always allow the cat to get out of it. The animal can put its paw into the stretched collar, which will get stuck there. In this case, the axillary region will be damaged.
Step 2
Even if the animal avoids injury, these experiences will scare both the cat and you when you find it like this. A way out of such situations will be to buy a collar with a snap-lock, which unfastens itself if you pull it. The only drawback of this accessory is that you often have to buy new collars for your pet. But, of course, it is better to lose a collar than to lose your pet.
Step 3
Start collar training your cat at home. First of all, introduce him to an unknown object - let him sniff the collar. Leave this item near your pet's resting area for several days.
Step 4
When putting on the collar, make sure two fingers fit between the collar and the cat's neck. It should fit snugly to the body of the animal so as not to cling to various objects and at the same time not to put pressure on the throat. If you put the collar on your kitten, check regularly for pressure as the baby grows quickly.
Step 5
During the first lessons, put the collar on your cat only from time to time so that she gets used to moving freely in it. When leaving your pet alone at home, remove the accessory; Wear it while playing or before feeding, so that the cat associates the presence of a foreign object with something pleasant. In addition, the process of playing or eating will distract from the still unfamiliar sensations.
Step 6
For the first walks with a collar, choose a secluded place in the park, where the cat will not be frightened by dogs or a large crowd of people. Remember that the first exit does not correspond to the environment of a noisy city street.
