A lot of people I know are not comfortable with their cats wearing collars, due to possible safety issues. I myself only use the quick release collars and the release mechanism is checked thoroughly before my cats leave their home wearing them.<\/p>\n<p>Because my cats have a microchip cat flap, they have 24\/7 freedom unless there\u2019s a reason not to. (For example, ensuring no food is consumed before an operation.) Once this decision was made I decided it was important they wear reflective collars to make them easier to see if they\u2019re out and about after dark.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best manufacturers I\u2019ve found for quick release, reflective collars that are snazzy and fun are Red Dingo. The main design comes in a variety of colours with small reflective fish as a decorative but functioning detail.<\/p>\n<p>The collars are hard wearing and don\u2019t tend to start fraying very quickly, like some of the other collars my cats have worn. The safety clasp functions wonderfully and the design doesn\u2019t wear off after a small amount of time, which has been a problem with previous collars.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d definitely recommend Red Dingo collars to anyone who asked. They are high end in terms of the cost, but they\u2019re extremely good quality which is possibly why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ailurophile.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sprocket-and-the-pumpkin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ailurophile.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sprocket-and-the-pumpkin.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Digital Camera\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ailurophile.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sprocket-and-the-pumpkin.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/www.ailurophile.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sprocket-and-the-pumpkin-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ailurophile.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/sprocket-and-the-pumpkin-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Sprockets Halloween photo shoot, modelling her Red Dingo collar.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This review may divide opinion.
