Let there be light....a collar review....

This review may divide opinion. A lot of people I know are not comfortable with their cats wearing collars, due to possible safety issues. I myself only use the quick release collars and the release mechanism is checked thoroughly before…

Neutering and how it impacts positively in a built up area.
