My cat had grown out of her first collar so I grabbed this one because it was easily adjustable and had the safety breakaway feature.
It may have stayed on for a maximum length of two days. She had scratched it off, licked it off, and learned to step on her tags and make it pop right off.
I haven't seen the collar in months, and my cats tags are missing with it.

Very durable, secure break-away clasp. Great for outdoor cats. The bell is easily removable with a pair of wire cutters, if desired. I have 4 indoor/outdoor cats and they don't even notice wearing the collar. Just make sure it's not too loose around the neck. I also attached the TagWorks sport nameplate ($7.50) to identify each cat by name and with my phone number.
Pros: durable, comfortable, looks great

This was my kittens first collar. I decided on getting her something cheap for her first, and this caught my eye. I got the one in pink. It was a great fit! Its been over a week now, and not a scratch on the color. The bell seems like its not going to get worn for a few more months, and the clip is super tight but not tight enough where its extremely hard to unbuckle. Good for times when my kitten tries to bite her way out of the collar. She nibbles on it a lot, but as far as I've seen its really durable. A must buy for cat owners!
Pros: durable, looks great

I bought one of these collars for my kitty before it became the latest trend, and she wore it all the time, for safety reasons! The best! But then, after a while of snapping it on and off (Since that is the only way to get it off) It just kind of.. broke.
But other then that, Fits excellent, the appearance is brilliant, the quality is iffy. I would recommend it for indoor cats in case they get lost.
Also has a very comfortable underside for the cat, so it isn't irritating the neck.
Pros: comfortable, looks great

My cat pulled this collar off on her third day of wearing it, but has not pulled it off since. It looks a bit bulky on her, but she is a very small cat in comparison. The bell lets us know where she is in the house!

I didn't need anything fancy when I sent my husband to pick up a collar for our new kitten. We were expecting to have to repeatedly pick up a fallen off collar, but our kitten doesn't mind it at all. We can adjust it to fit him, I'm sure we'll have to get a new one when he's a year, but for now this one works great!
Pros: comfortable, durable, looks great

I use these collars on my kittens/cats. They do come off, but aren't they suppose to? I wouldn't want my pets stuck, possibly trapped somewhere due to their collar. Sure it gets lost, but it's cheap so I just pick up another one.
Pros: comfortable, durable, looks great

These collars worked for about a month. Then my cats got smart. They learned to pull the collar off and then hide it. Not good for smart cats!

The owner of my favourite 'pet bed & breakfast' recommended getting a 'breakaway' collar just in case my outdoor cats ever got their collars caught on something during their outdoor day romps. Hadn't even heard of them before that but am sure glad that they're available... wouldn't want to risk anything happening to my babies. The size adjustments are very versatile... moreso than any of my previous collars. Fit my female's fairly big neck and my male's skinny little one easily. I love the fact that it comes with a bell (quite a ringer, too!) because my cats are known to hunt... Good too when I call them in at night because I can hear from what direction they come. Plus, the variety of colour options doesn't hurt ;)
Pros: comfortable, durable, looks great

My cat is a very small former barn cat so it was hard to find a collar that fit. I finally bought this one and it fits great. She tried to get it off a few times but after I took off the bell, she loved it. The snap works great and when she got caught under the barn door it broke away and she got out just fine. I recommend this to any cat owner.
Pros: comfortable, durable, looks great

I honestly didn't expect much from this collar because of how cheap it was, but it is amazing! The color choice is very nice, it doesn't breakaway too easily, and it's extremely easy to adjust it. However because my cat has a thing about scratching his collar to shreds, being nylon I doubt it'll last more than a month, which is a shame. Either way, I recommend giving this collar a try, especially for the price. :)
Pros: comfortable, durable, looks great

I have purchased these collars since I have had my cat, and they are great! The fit is perfect, the colors are pretty, and the bell is loud enough so that I always know where she is.
I have tried twice to switch her over to a different brand of collar (for variety) but she makes a fuss and tries to take them off. Something makes me think she likes the sound of the particular bells they put on these, but I'm not sure.
Regardless, love these collars! Can't beat the great price either =)

The collar looks great. But the safety clasp is useless. I've had cats for nearly 30 years and never have I had to go hunting for the collar as many times as I have had to with this one. The safety clasp refuses to stay securely fastened. One scratch of the neck and the collar is off.
I'm going to try and return it and find the brand I have on my other cats.
Before you buy this collar, try it. See how little pressure it takes on the "little button" to break the collar open. None of my other collars have a little "button" that's exposed to the animal.
Looks great, POOR design.

Good, sturdy collar, especially for the price. You can't find anything better for cheaper. The breakaway is pretty strong, so my cat can't pull it off just by scratching himself. The nylon is thick and durable and I haven't seen any snags from claws in it yet.
My cat doesn't like wearing his collar so he grabs his name tag in his teeth, gives it a good tug, and rips it off. It requires a lot of force for him to do it though. We left for 3 days and he had hidden it on top of the kitchen cupboards.

I have 7 cats ranging from 2 months to 14 years old. We used more expensive ones the first year, they were destroyed in a matter of weeks. So we switched to "The Safety Collar" (almost double the price of these) brand for 5 years, for both the price and the break away. However with that brand I was having to buy 3 or more collars a year for my girls as within a month or two they could chew through the clip. I went to replace their collars and came across these ones. So far the 4 older ones have kept them on, (we have them for 4 months now). And the girls can't chew through the clip. =) My at the time 5 month old kitten had one as well but lost it. When Kittens start rough housing together they do breakaway, but hey it is a breakaway that's what their designed for. And thank god for that as I have three 3 yr old toddlers who grab the cats collars once in a while. The quality of the collar is also nicer as it doesn't seem to fray as quickly as the other ones. All in all I am MUCH happier with these ones and will continue to use them. I do think at least once a year I'll need to replace them as collars do get dirty and do fray from scratching. But for the price it's worth it!! I will be buying 3 more for my 2 month old, 4 month old and 9 month old kittens. As for the "bird bell" (designed to be a certain pitch to scare off birds so your cats don't' catch them) It takes a little work but for the cats that don't like the bell, you can take them off. And then push the clasp back.
Pros: works better then a lot of other brands, great price, stronger clasp
