The use of cat shock collars is illegal in most of Australia and Europe because they are largely unsafe for cats. There are much better ways which can help address problem behaviors in cats, in a humane manner.

A cat wearing a shock collar is generally exposed to certain risks especially if it is unsupervised. Cats are very agile and like climbing, jumping, and wiggling into small places, increasing the risk of their collar getting stuck on something and choking them. Allowing a cat with a collar to roam outdoors will certainly be asking for trouble.

Shock collars are actually designed to correct undesirable behavior in dogs. Even small shock collars which are used in small dog breeds emit the same levels of shock that large shock collars do. Besides causing pain and anxiety, your furball can go into shock. Since cats are more emotionally sensitive than dogs, a shock collar could have irreparable effects on your kitty’s psyche.
