Nala ventures in to the outside a lot. Luckily our neighbourhood is nice, so it's not a problem, but I was surprised when she had this on her collar.
I thought it was really nice that our neighbours were concerned for her! Address blocked out for privacy reasons.
And here's the little culprit! :3 I'll be sure to send another note back!

Do we have the same cat? My kitten looks exactly like this

So is this the next evolution of the courier pigeon?

@OP So i've also got a cat named Nala, and she's the same color configuration. Nice name choice!

Why send a note? Just take a cake, a bottle of wine, the cat and visit them!

Seconded!
littlemorte
How about getting your cat an ID tag? Name and just a phone number (if you move a lot, like me). That would at least answer those questions

I finally had to buy a cat trap and catch 15 cats. Got the mom, got her spayed and returned her to the neighbor. The rest went to a shelter.

Good for you! I hope the neighbor was thankful.
Bisright
There was a fact I read once that there are more people who think they are cat owners in America than actual cats.
CleverUsernameNotTaken
how is that possible?
Bisright
Two different cat owners, one cat. Neither cat owner realises that the other owner exists.
IllegalDuckling
How are you even supposed to check every single cat in that kind of a country?
Bisright
I just heard it once, I have no source or data.
KeeleonOhms
I have one of these. After about 6 mos of feeding and naming, we realized she probly belongs across the street.
redbullvodka
We had a cat who would stop coming home often, we learned that neighbors were feeding her. When the neighbors moved our cat disappeared too.
KeeleonOhms
Even better, we once had a black cat that notoriously always wanted out them back in. After about a year we noticed it must be 2 cats
CharlesThompsonIII
my cat's always want to go out and come back in... in they are very much individual cats.

Well we figured it was just normal cat behaviour, but we have no idea how long they were just swapping places lol.

eagerophiuchus
The outdoor/indoor thing isn't about cars. Rural outdoor cats are actually worse. My neighbor sends her 3 cats into the national park.
eagerophiuchus
Pets know that they are well cared for and well-fed, but cats can't suppress the kill instinct. So they kill for play, repeatedly.
Surrealle
Good luck.. People who let their cats out know all this already, they just don't give a shit
Lfa3
Exactly, some are the old "if I don't see it I don't care." Of course there's exceptions like the other imgurian below.
madmatt2024
Wait until you get one that pees on your stuff if left inside. Yes, he is fixed and the vet says nothing is wrong with him.
whydoeslovedothistome
As a responsible owner, you arrange them activities and clean their toilet daily, right. Right?
madmatt2024
This cat has been provided multiple clean litter boxes all over the house and still pees on stuff.
whydoeslovedothistome
Cool. What about the activities part? Would you let any other pet wonder around without supervision just cos it pees inside?
madmatt2024
Activities? Its a cat! It eats, it sleeps, has toys, and gets petted and cuddles. If its legal and it won't get into trouble, yes.

jacksparrah
on the one hand, that's super cute. On the other hand, I feel like cats should stay the fuck indoors. So I'm a bit torn on this post.
OSCgal
Depends on the cat. Depends on the situation. Some cats refuse to stay indoors. Some cats are too stupid to go outdoors.
hiir
No. It only depends on how lazy the owner is.
TheSisko
I live next to a train station and busy intersection. My kitty is an indoors kitty.
grimfandango
For me it depends on the area you live in. Where I currently live my cats do not bother the wildlife and nothing threatens my cats. 1/2
grimfandango
2/2 but under most circumstances (roads , people, issues with other wildlife or even other cats) I would keep them inside.

OK, but this is about a cat that appears to have a collar that does not come off every. damn. time. your cat's collar does is irrelevant.
arcenlapin
We have a harness on Toki and he stays in it just fine. Maybe try that.
OSCgal
Yeah, the cat I grew up with would always ditch his collar. But not his flea collar, for some reason.
cryscryscrys
I had a cat like that. I starting making cheap collars out of 1.5" sewing binding and a tiny rubber band. Then write info on it w/ a pen
ScholarlyTrout
Some cats are really bad with collars though
pinecone
Our cats don't like collar but don't get as annoyed with harness.They're indoor cats though,so usually prolonged stay in harness is max 5 ..
pinecone
days. I guess it's because our harnesses are less tight around the neck than collar would be. 2/2
thorkild91
The cat is already wearing a collar
krenshala
There are cats that have trouble getting collars off their necks?
ScholarlyTrout
No, there are some that can find them very uncomfortable. Our cat has a skin problem that means he cant wear one.
krenshala
My comment was meant to imply that cats remove their collars with no difficulty.
ScholarlyTrout
Ah yes, i was trying to point out that my original comment was relevant to the cats discomfort, not its escapability.
clutchthepearls
Well this one doesn't seem to be.
nrobertson12321

FurciferPardalis
A responsible owner would not let the cat outside.
nulluserid
What the fuck?
Lfa3
That's right. Nothing better than having your cat's brain squished on the road, amirite? Or causing a traffic accident. Happens a LOT.
hiir
Or eating someone's rat poison. Or being mauled by a dog. Or ruining someone else's lawn and the local wildlife. Etc.
Surrealle
You can be a responsive owner without contact info on a collar. It's called a microchip
fulminatrix
My friends almost adopted a stray cat who moved into their house. They took her to get chipped and found out her owner had moved away 1/2
fulminatrix
from town and her ex-boyfriend had stolen her cat right before and she thought he killed her. She drove seven hours to get her back. 2/3
fulminatrix
Collars are important, but microchips are gonna reunite you in extreme cases. They're inexpensive and vital. Always chip your pets! 3/3
fulminatrix
I forgot to add she'd thought the cat was dead for over a year and had lost all hope. Just imagine the joy of that call. 4/4
TheSisko
Which involves a visit to a vet or shelter to read, and you hope the owner has kept it updated between moves. Easier to read a tag.
LostLadyTX
Your cat has a collar but no tag?
SliceofToast
No need for one. The town I live in is a retirement capital, and it's REALLY quiet and friendly. For the past 10 years she's been fine
ArthurHastings
yea but what if it gets hit by a car or something? might as well have a tag on it
SliceofToast
Tag or not, if she's been hit by a car she's been hit by a car. She's been microchipped so they'll know we own her at the vet.
ArthurHastings
yea but the reason people keep saying "put a tag" is that... it's very cheap and very easy. If that wasn't the case I'd understand your 1/2
ArthurHastings
point. I'd put one on my cats regardless of where I live... 2/2

But what's the point of the collar, if not to carry a tag. Just put a tag on her.

You need to at least have the rabies tag on there if the cat is roaming free. It's about keeping the cat from getting euthanized if found.

I have six cats, all indoor-only. They are microchipped, have collars with contact info, and an additional tag: "If I am out, I am lost!"

Yup. My cat is an indoor cat but the shelter said he's an 'escape artist'; he's had an id tag/collar since the day we brought him home.

I have a 3 month old kitten that will be indoor but I have a collar and tag on her for this exact reason.

I have bought my cat five collars but it takes her about 10 minutes outside to get it off and hide it. I haven't found one of them yet...
GennaSansJ
The cat had a collar on lol, that's how the note got there. What the collar is missing apparently, is a tag
tomatoboy
Yeah, the cat needs an ID tag and the rabies tag. The lack of the rabies tag puts its life in serious risk if found and not identifiable.
SliceofToast
I live in the UK. Rabies tags aren't a thing here. She's chipped anyways.

Thank you. So many people overreacting to the concept of a cat going outside without a collar. My cats are nomads, and break collars.
bigjoemonger
In my city you can't even have the cat outdoors because they'll round them up and take them to kitty impound which costs $100 to get it out.
chewtoythebrave
In some cities, they literally round up any cats they find and euthanize them as the shelters are full. I wouldn't risk it.
Lfa3
Being euthanized at a shelter is the LESS bad think it can happen to a pet. Here every couple days we have a dead cat on the streets (1/2)
Lfa3
killed by cars/motorcycles. Many don't die right after being hit. And a bunch of others get poisoned by bird owners. Also a slow death.
Lfa3
Having a pet and let it roaming free is a straight up lazy/bastard move. Don't have pets.
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
You sound completely delusional. I hope you don't have any cats.
nortotron
Most domestic cats have a chip under the fur. Vets can scan it. Collars can get the cat stuck.

I have two outdoor cats and they constantly lose their collars, but still worth the money to keep them updated with important information!

Where I live there's no need to put your address on a collar. It's just not that culture. It's a really quiet cozy town where I live.

IsuckAsthis
As someone who seems to find a lost animal every week at least have a phone number it makes things so much easier.

I would put a name and phone number for emergency reasons. Since you got the note, not everyone knows who she belongs to.
SliceofToast
If there's truly an emergency, she's chipped. She goes through collars like mad anyways.
notAnn
Actually, both my cats have collars with tags on them that have their names and "I've been chipped!"
MaddyFusco
As a rule, you shouldn't put your pets names on their collar. It gives strangers, whom might have bad intentions, a way to gain their trust.

Luckily my dog hates strangers.

Hardy4395
Why the down votes? This is absolutely true. Put your surname on the tags with 2 or 3 phone numbers. They don't need to know the pets name.

Do animals not have to be microchipped in us? Has owners details on the chip, only costs like 10 quid

Nope. In most areas I don't think they even have to have ID on them, just a leash. In rural areas they don't even do that. It sucks. :/ 1/2
banshu
My cat is an indoor cat but he walks on a leash like a dog. Sadly, can't go beyond the yard because of people's loose fucking animals.
tomatoboy
Not mandatory in most jurisdictions (some require it for breeding animals, etc...), costs $10-75 depending on vet and chip brand.
CharlesThompsonIII
it's not required to chip an animal in the US... but a lot of vets will do it, not sure the cost.
rosepix
It isn't required, but it should be. Here in California, San Diego area, it was $40. There's more than one company; I wish they'd...

...at least use the same chip. Vets and animal shelters have to have more than one type of reader.

ButYouAintGotNoLegs
he/she was found. I'm so worried she'll get out one day and no one will have her scanned for a chip.
Atharaenea
Ear snip means she's a fixed stray... she was captured and they went to fix her and found she already was (or they fixed her if she wasn't)
ButYouAintGotNoLegs
That's what it means. But when I picked out my kitty, she wasn't snipped. The next day she went for her spay and the same clinic who did it
CanOpenersOnTheirFaces
The use that here to indicate that it is a spayed/neutered stray.
ButYouAintGotNoLegs
Yeah, here it's to let you know that it's a stray who has been neutered and not to move or bring to a shelter unless it's injured.

Sorry. I read "country" not "county." Maybe ours doesn't require them.

Also nobody expects cats to be well behaved.

In France if your dog is hit or killed by a car you have to pay the damages (unless the hitting is proved intentionnal) but not if it's a 1.

Be sure to use a break away collar, so your cat doesn't get stuck outside

Careful though, that breakaway collar nearly caused my first cat to hang herself on my blinds, lucky my aunt found her in time.
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
The idea behind a breakaway collar is that it prevents that from happening by breaking under stress...
rshini
Yeah, that should be the cause, but it somehow wedge itself in a way where it couldn't break.
douchewadextreme
So... having a regular collar would be better in that scenario?
lonelymountainorbust
Microchipping is ideal in addition to tags!
rosepix
YES.
MEOWluvfurr
agree. dont use anything BUT a break away. my little boy cat LOVES climbing trees. havi g a break away gives me a little piece of mind

Piece could be right. Maybe it's a cranium tree?

Or hang itself

When I was about 10 my cat hung itself with it's collar, it's not joke.

Although my asshole cats learnt how to remove their break away collars

Harness. Use a Harness, it's safe and very hard to escape from.

Mine removes her collar, then uses it as a toy and walks around with it in her mouth.

I think we are on our 9th collar on this 14 month old kitten hahah

My cat lost his break away collar and I found it hanging on a tool hook! I could practically pick him up by it too.
Foxlord
Mine takes hers off and it takes me months to find it. I put a non break away on her and she just ripped it up trying to take it off.
kansas555
Mine too and a regular collar almost killed her. So ee had her chipped. But some people will keep cats instead of checking for a chip.
FloodingWaters
yeah, it's not up to me whether my cat wears his collar. but he's an indoor cat because of nearby roads.
tootscootinboogie
Same here. I gave up after 4 collars and ID tags ($70 total). He's chipped at least.
ohdeepthought
Same with one of our cats. The whole street knows him as the sweetest cat but he only comes home to us for food and that's it. Asshole

Be sure the collar is grown with all organic fibers
bamblebimble
Breakaway collar saved my cat 2 times, I swear to god she kept trying to hang herself with it ;-; that or figured out she could break it off

Lol, you jest but cats have accidentally hung themselves jumping from trees and the like and having the collar snagged.
udick
Do I look like I'm jesting
PatrickFancyPants

Be sure the collars organic fibers are from outskirts of Bangladeshi forests.
udick
Be sure Bangladeshi forests are paid fair wages
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Be sure that the hours are reasonable too.
EverybodyAtCostcoLovesUsSoHard
Be sure that the fibers are sustainably sourced
