This review is from: Rogz Catz GlowCat Small 1/8″ Breakaway Reflective Glow-in-the-Dark Cat Collar, Goldfish Design (Misc.)
At long last, I found A COLLAR THAT STAYS ON after losing lots of money on various collars and tags that get lost week after week (sometimes the same day!) by our six indoor/outdoor cats and trying various brands of cat collars that ranged from $2.50 to $8 each with breakaway, reflective and as light as possible being my requirements!! I love the adjustable lock that you can set depending on your cat’s weight/strength (kitten/teen/adult), Rogz is the only brand that has this! This collar glows even under dim lighting so you can’t step on/sit on your cat in the dark/in bed, in addition to being very reflective at night, the glow is impressive in the daytime. I also use the loop holding the bell to attach the name tag instead.
Initally worried that the “white” color would not contrast enough with my white cats’ fur, but discovered the glow stands out regardless of fur color. Now I don’t have to worry about them ever getting lost and unidentifiable as our pets. They are also micro-chipped but I always make sure they wear collars with name tags that have their name, our home address and phone number on it.
I have also been satisfied by another collar by Rogz that has all the same features (breakaway, adjustable, reflective) except that it does not “glow” after being exposed to sunlight although it is HIGHLY REFLECTIVE when any light bounces off it and an excellent choice for added variety in color/pattern choices. I own both models in different colors so all six cats have unique ones.
Someone recommended trimming the fur around the neck of long-haired kitties so you can SEE the collar better, which is a very good idea.
Highly recommend these Rogz collars which I love, love, LOVE!!! The money saved from these collars that stay on allows me to purchase back-up collars (just in case), quality engraved name tags and new treats & toys for them 🙂
************************************************************ Several months later, they’re still the best collars on the market:
GOLD FISH color: primarily cream strap with subtle dark gray reflective trim, blue bubbles are varying shades of sky blue NOT turquoise, goldfish are a golden color with black outlines; this collar looks best on cats with calico coats or with “Siamese/Snowshoe/Himalayan” coloring if they are brown/tan/cream or gray/white or blue/cream, however it is not limited to cats with those coats as it is PERFECT on my Apollo (indoor/outdoor cat) who has all snow-white fur, one stunning sapphire blue eye and one dazzling golden amber eye and an amazing personality to match!
************************************************************ TWO YEARS later… Updating in late August 2013, these are still my go-to collars and I continue to purchase these as gifts for other friends “owned by cats”. I also stock up in different colors (back-ups) for those rare times a collar is temporarily misplaced in the home/yard due to getting cat due to rough play or stuck in branches chasing squirrels; it is good to know that this stay put collar does release when needed. Please note that they sometimes re-set themselves to lowest lock setting and must be re-set to highest/strongest lock before putting back on friends. They are THE ONLY COLLARS I recommend to my vet, other rescuers/fosters or anyone that asks. For the two older cats that are the least active and now never lose their collars, I replace these annually just so they look new as they get soiled with time; two who are very active need two replacements a year and the other two Houdini cats that constantly get in impossible places and are avid hunters outdoors, need 3 annually; I always keep back-ups for all 6 kitties with name tags attached (complete with addresses and phone number) so no one is ever naked before I start trying to track the collar because they are indoor/outdoor cats that have hunting territories spanning several blocks!! Not only are these collars awesome but they are so cool-looking!! We get lots of compliments and I never hesitate to tell them to get these!!

I got this collar for my black cat so it will be easier to find her in the dark. She is an indoor cat, but I know that if she ever got outside at night it would be basically impossible to see her. I wanted a collar that would help keep her safe if she got lost. And it also helps keep track of her in the house. Even in dim lighting the collar glows faintly and it reflects brightly when a light is shone directly on it. I also like that the material is sturdy yet pliable and lightweight. My cat frayed the last collar she had, but she has been unable to hurt this one. It still looks like new. The safety-lock is also innovative, as it’s adjustable. It can make it harder for a hefty cat to lose the collar or easier for a small or frail cat to break free if they get stuck.

This is nice, sturdy collar. I bought it for it’s glow in the dark quality. Our cat blends in with carpet in the dark. My husband was worried about stepping on him when getting up from bed at night. I can’t say it really solved that problem. The collar does glow brightly but our cats hair covers most of it up. If you’re buying it for the glow in the dark quality you’ll probably have to trim the hair on your cat’s neck.

Finally, a COLLAR THAT STAYS ON and glows beautifully!,
Initally worried that the “white” color would not contrast enough with my white cats’ fur, but discovered the glow stands out regardless of fur color. Now I don’t have to worry about them ever getting lost and unidentifiable as our pets. They are also micro-chipped but I always make sure they wear collars with name tags that have their name, our home address and phone number on it.

Here is the link for the non-glowing one: Rogz Catz Small 3/8-Inch Night Cat Safeloc Breakaway Clip Adjustable, Reflective Cat Collar, Black Paws Design (other color options too) It is entitled “small” but works fine on my big adult male cats as the length is very adjustable, just don’t forget to adjust the strength of the breakaway clasp before putting it on, using a small flat-head screwdriver or flat-tipped tweezer.
Highly recommend these Rogz collars which I love, love, LOVE!!! The money saved from these collars that stay on allows me to purchase back-up collars (just in case), quality engraved name tags and new treats & toys for them 🙂

Good quality safety collar,
I also like that the material is sturdy yet pliable and lightweight. My cat frayed the last collar she had, but she has been unable to hurt this one. It still looks like new.
