Hi everyone this is my first time on this website, i was just browsing and I came across it. My real name is Becky I'm 21 and I have three moggies; Walker, Aubrey and Rosamund. They are my babies. Does anyone know how I can get my two cats Aubrey and Rosamund to wear a collar? They hate them with a passion and keep taking them off and we're moving house soon so we really need to get them to wear one. Thanks!Hi everyone

Re: Hi everyone
Welcome, Becky...
I don't recommend collars for indoor kitties, these are really unncessary.
If they are outdoors, forget it, and acclimate them strictly indoors only, too many outdoor dangers.
When you're moving....move all your furniture and belongings first, then set up a room just for the cats, complete with litterbox, food, water dishes, toys, bed, etc. When you get the cats to your new home, keep them in this room until the moving process is over, so that they cannot escape open doors or so that inconsiderate movers or helpers don't let them out.
Be sure to keep them safely in a carrier during transport from your old place to your new home.
Watch them carefully during the next few weeks. Moving and the stress caused by moving is the number one cause of feline hepatic lipidosis, a liver disease that can be fatal if not detected early enough and treated agressively. Watch for signs of anorexia, dehydration, withdrawal, depression, lethargy, fever and jaundice, all signs of acute liver disease. Should any of the above signs occur, to your vet immediately, the best chances of treatment and recovery occur when this is recognized and treated immediately.
