PSA: Don’t buy a little-dog collar if your pet is a cat. Cats, even indoor ones, need a breakaway clasp on their collar in case it gets caught on something when they’re mid-leap. Indoor cats may not need a collar at all, but mine wears a bell so she’s less likely to get kicked/stepped on/rolled on, she’s too ninja for her own good. And my cell# is written on it just in case.
I had a flighty cat, she was investigating a paper bag when someone rang the doorbell, she bolted like fucking mad but stuck her head through the paper handle. Maximum effort, claws out she scrabbled up the stairs ripping the bag away. except for a perfect little cape square. I had to go drag her out from under the bed to remove the cape. if it was plastic, she’d probably have strangled herself or broken something.
Dogs do also! I came downstairs and had to emergency rescue our shi tzu many years ago. Our rescue German shepherd mix of something smaller got her lower jaw stuck in his collar while playing and I presume twisted trying to get her jaw out. Neither of them were able to make enough noise to get help and were laying defeated on the floor when I saw them. It was horrible. Luckily they both seemed fine after a few minutes of getting them free but it was really scary.

Dogs need the same for indoor collars for the same reasons
