Does your cat like to go out in the evening or in the early dawn hours? Most cats love to explore, prowl, and hunt prey under the cover of darkness or almost darkness.

This will make your cat visible to drivers and cyclists. Choose a well fitting collar that won’t get caught in a fence or brush. Don’t pick glitzy collars with decorative beading.
