Coastal Pet Safe Cat Adjustable Breakaway Collar Pink Skulls - 06701 SKP12

I have used these for years with my foster kittens. They have worked great, and even last a while with kittens chewing on them (They love to play with each other's collars). They have come off if the kittens tug hard enough, so I can imagine a grown cat will easily get them off if they get stuck somewhere.

The best! Attractive durable lightweight narrow works easily to free

This literally almost killed my cat. The collar wasn’t loose, yet somehow he managed to get it stuck to his bottom jaw. The breakaway did not break away, i had to rush him into the kitchen and cut it with scissors. It is an honest to god miracle he didn’t break his jaw or severely injure himself. An absolute safety hazard. Would NOT buy again.

I am only giving one star because I have to in order to submit a review. This is not the first Coastal collar to fail at easily, or otherwise, breaking away but it is the first one to nearly choke my cat to death. He got it caught on something in the house that pulled the top portion of the adjustable length through the bucket and tightened the collar around his neck. Not only did the collar not break loose we couldn’t get it off of him. No matter how hard we tried. We ended up cutting it off of him. I feel lucky that he was inside with us because had he been outdoors we may not have found him in time. The first collar we had for him also was extremely difficult to pull open. I thought it was just dirty as he was an outside cat at the time but that clearly is not the case. He is inside only and the collar is only two months old. I love the patterns and that they are light weight but I will not purchase from this company until they resolve this life threatening issue.

We needed to take off our cat?s collar to put on his new rabies tag. Not only does it not breakaway, no amount of tugging would snap it off, even when my husband tried. We?re going to have to cut it off, because we feel it is a safety hazard.
