 | |  | | My mom wanted me to tell you that two days ago, her oldest daughter's kitten, Boots, who is 4 months old, almost had a tragic ending due to a collar. Not trying to scare anyone, just wanted to give them a heads up. Boots and her daughter live with my Nana, and Nana heard Boots making a racket in the other room, and suddenly, Boots ran up next to her and she saw that his collar was stuck in his mouth and tightly around his neck and stuck. His mouth and paws were bleeding from him trying to get it off. She cut the collar off right away, with scissors, and cleaned up his paws and saw that he had cut his mouth a little, but he was ok and didn't need to go to the vet. But it scared her. Mom's daughter thought that Boots needed a collar in case he got out of the house and got lost. She even bought one that said it was a safety collar, but she did buy it at the local grocery store so she is thinking it obviously was not a very good one. My mom told her that she did not like collars, especially for naughty little kittens (like me), that you just had to be very, very careful about when you open and close doors, and to get him microchipped. I just wanted to share this story, not to scare anyone. I'm sure there are collars out there that would not do what this one did, and I wish my mom's daughter had gotten one of those. I'm just glad that Boots is ok, because he is very cute and I like him. He spent the night at my house on Christmas, and even though he wouldn't play with me, he didn't try to beat me up, so I like him. |  |  | |  |
