mrs envy's cat tends to like a brawl with the local cats
whilst he puts up a good fight (he never gets scratches or bites on his arse which means he doesn't run away) he does lose his collar an awful lot
that's not the end of the world as they're only a couple of quid but the annoying thing is that he's got a magnetic cat flap and if he loses his collar he can't get back in the house (plus the mouse magnets are £8/£10 each and a trek to vets for a couple of month's supply)
other than staple the collar to the f
king cat's neck are they any other collars which are like a harness so he can't lose them?
changing the cat flap so it isn't magnetic isn't an option as he's brought lady cats back with him of an evening and he tends to nail them on the landing which keep me awake

Well, at least its adjustable.
A collar should be fitted so it can come off to avoid any possible injury to the cat.
Whilst somewhat more expensive(£100 or so) than your average cat flap, I would wholeheartedly recommend one of these:-
It reads the microchip in your cats neck and uses that as the key instead of a magnet attached to the collar.
Its really easy to setup, and has a night mode so it will lock and unlock itself at night and in the morning should you want to keep your cats in at night.

Actually, this is the worst "basking-in-reflected-glory-of-my-cat-boning-everything-in-sight" thread I've ever seen.
The fact it's the only "basking-in-reflected-glory-of-my-cat-boning-everything-in-sight" thread I've ever seen is neither here nor there at this juncture.

Excellent piece of kit

We fit aforementioned cat flap, then realise the female's chip has died (about 2 years old so thankfully vet fits another for free). Get it sorted and then discover the male cat really is dopey - he can't work out the flap. He approaches, it registers, unlocks, goes click, he backs off, waits, it re-locks and he decides to finally go through. Only of course he doesn't.
I really need a spare weekend to train him...... For the moment, it's a very expensive cat flap.

Soon trained her out of it by her by sitting on the opposite side of the catflap with a tube of catnip drops.

Not really anything to do with fighting or smashing back doors in but funny

James: yeah he's a bit of a nut case, he saw off a bull mastif earlier this evening and now he's sat upside down on the window sill
like the look of the chip activated flaps, we've had him remapped so it's a possibility - do they require mains power?
