Not A Hair Accessory--A Safe Cat Collar Cover
Just a short note to mention that despite the resemblance to a certain human hairstyle accessory, the patent pending Birdsbesafe® cat collar cover is designed for cats and their cat safety needs. It's an open-ended tubular shape and you slide a breakaway cat collar into it to hold it onto the cat's neck. Both pieces release under pressure--for your cat's safety outdoors. Read on the FAQ page for more details. PLEASE, do not put an elastic band around your cat's neck. Thanks! We love cats and birds!
