Collared!

A few days ago I decided to try Poppy with her collar.  I waited until she was in a quiet mood and armed with a cat treat, I put her collar on.  She wasn’t impressed!  She tore up and down the room, then tried her best to get the collar off.  I decided to take it off and leave it for another day. 

I tried again on Wednesday and surprisingly enough Poppy didn’t protest.  Once again I put the collar on, rewarded her with a cat treat and the job was done – no mad dashing about or trying to get the collar off.

And the best bit about it is the collar has a bell – known as the Poppy Advanced Warning System (PAWS!!)

Having been successful in getting Poppy to wear her collar I decided to try Mango with hers and I was in for a big surprise.  As with Poppy, I chose a quiet time and had a cat treat at the ready.  Talking to Mango all the time, I started to put her collar on, ready for the expected protest – but there wasn’t one!  With her collar on she just sat there, no trying to get it off, no dashing around the room – result!  It then dawned on me that she must have had a collar on in her original home and so it was no surprise to Mango at all.
