Collars on cats still stir emotions – especially when someone posts a photo of a cat with a small, \u201ecute\u201d strap around its neck. Unfortunately, what looks innocent is in practice often one of the most common and most dangerous items in a cat's \u201estarter kit\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 W naszej hodowli Kotki K\u0119dziorki*PL<\/strong> zawsze zwracamy uwag\u0119 przysz\u0142ym opiekunom, \u017ce Devon Rex to rasa niewychodz\u0105ca<\/strong> (przeczytaj nasz poradnik Walking a cat – is it worth it, is it possible? 2 advantages, 6 disadvantages, and 6 tips<\/a>). A skoro kot nie wychodzi – obro\u017ca jest mu zupe\u0142nie niepotrzebna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time the guide has been written so that it can serve everyone, including those who have outdoor cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dlaczego obro\u017ce u kot\u00f3w s\u0105 niebezpieczne?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Ryzyko zaklinowania i uduszenia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cats climb… It's their nature. Indoors they go under furniture, into gaps, behind the fridge, on top of the wardrobe. Outdoors, of course, up trees, onto fences, over little fences\u2026 A collar can: catch on a branch, a door handle or a cabinet handle, get stuck in a gap, slide off incorrectly and tuck under the armpit, or tighten during a jerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not rare incidents at all – it is everyday life in veterinary surgeries. Some end in injuries, others unfortunately tragically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. \u201eObro\u017ce bezpiecze\u0144stwa\u201d nie daj\u0105 pe\u0142nej gwarancji<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tak zwane breakaway collars<\/strong> (releasing under load) are certainly safer than ordinary ones. But: they do not always release when they should, they can open\u2026 too easily and the cat loses them, and they can still get caught in a way not anticipated mechanically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To poprawa bezpiecze\u0144stwa, ale nie eliminacja ryzyka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ryzyko bolesnych otar\u0107 i infekcji<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even a well-fitted collar can: cause chafing, collect moisture and dirt, lead to skin inflammations, tear out fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cats with delicate skin (like the Devon Rex) this is particularly common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Problem z dzwoneczkami i zawieszkami<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wszystkie \u201edodatki\u201d przy obro\u017cach s\u0105 problematyczne:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
