Preparing to put a collar on your cat ensures that they will be safe, comfortable, and will warmly embrace the accessory. This avoids stressful situations for them and maximizes the benefits of wearing a collar, such as identification and enhanced safety. Just imagine, it's like rolling out the red carpet for the feline rockstar of your life! Awwwwww... 😍
1. Familiarize the cat with the collar
Before putting on the collar, let Minou play with it for a few minutes. Be mindful of those tiny rough tongues that could damage the collar. This step allows your feline friend to gently get used to the feel of the collar.
2. Create a positive atmosphere
Choose a moment when Minou is calm and relaxed. Avoid approaching immediately after an intense play session. Speak to him softly and pet him to create a positive atmosphere. Kevin, for instance, knows how to calm Madame Pain simply by talking to her.
Adjust the collar properly
Before putting it on, make sure it's neither too loose nor too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and Minou's neck.
Place the collar on the royal neck
Hold the collar at the base of the cat's neck and gently slide it around. Ensure that the identification tag is on the outer side.
Continuous Monitoring
Keep an eye on Minou during the first few hours to ensure he adapts well to the collar. Also, check that the collar doesn't hinder his jaw. If necessary, tighten it a bit more.
By following these recommendations, you ensure that Minou's collar is both safe and comfortable. Remember, the goal is for your cat to feel as good as possible with his new accessory. So, prepare the ground, install the collar carefully, and let Minou shine with elegance and safety!
