How to Measure for a Cat Collar
Take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your pet's neck, close to the shoulder where the collar will sit. When you take the measurement, the tape measure should be loose enough to fit one or two fingers comfortably underneath. Make sure that the tape can't slip over your cat’s ears. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, use a piece of string, mark your cat's neck measurement, and then measure the string against a ruler.
Choosing the Perfect Size
All Clothes for Cats cat collars are sized in inches from the first to the last hole. For a perfect fit, try to select a collar size range that your cat's neck measurement sits in the middle of. For example if your cat's neck measurement is 9", then a 8-10" sized collar will provide a perfect fit.
Still a Perfect Fit?
After wearing a new collar for a short time, check your cat’s neck. If your cat has any redness or hair loss under the collar then adjust the collar to make it bigger. It is especially important to regularly check the fit of a kitten's collar, as they can out-grow a collar very quickly.
