Why not use a cat collar with a rattle

The cat collar with rattle is among the most common models, however, despite being very common for cats using this accessory, this item is somewhat controversial.

The rattle is used as a way for the tutor to always know when the pet is approaching or locating it. This seemingly harmless and supposedly useful accessory produces sound with every movement of the animal.

Like a bell, the rattle that comes hanging on the collar and can cause stress in the pet, lowering the immune system, making the kitty more prone to developing diseases.

Spending the day listening to a noise so close to the ear can be extremely irritating, as well as damaging the animal's hearing. The auditory system of cats is complex and sensitive, so constant noise, so close to the ears, can contribute to the degeneration of the eardrums.

The cat collar with bell prevents the pet from maintaining its natural hunter instincts. To hunt prey, even as a joke, the feline needs to be silent and the noise of the rattle gets in the way.

Rattles prevent cats from acting according to their own instincts, making it difficult for the kitty to express a behavior that, for him, is natural: being silent. Cats are hunters and their entire anatomy is made to be silent, the pads of their paws, for example, muffle any sound.

 The stress caused by using the rattle collar can also harm the health of the kitten. A stressed cat can get sicker due to their weakened immune system. In addition to stress, aggression is another behavior that can manifest itself, after all, any slightest movement that the cat makes will be accompanied by that noise. As a consequence, the cat may become more irritable and aggressive .

As an accessory for a cat collar, instead of keeping the rattle, choose an identification plate, with your data, that does not disturb the animal and is very useful in cases of escape.

To ensure your kitten's health and well-being, it's important to use the correct type of cat collar. And avoid collars with rattles or other noises.

•        Think about your pet

The best thing to do when choosing a collar is to think about your pet first. Race, size and behavior are some of the important characteristics for choosing the product.

The material is important in terms of comfort. Touch the fabric, experiment and test a lot before you buy. If we don't like to wear an uncomfortable outfit or accessory, the same goes for little animals.

The guides help to control the distance of the pet at the time of departure. It needs to be between 1 and 1.2 meters long, so you keep the little animal close by and at a reasonable distance so that it can explore and enjoy the environment.
