Zinny came in tonight without her collar. It's barely been a week, and it's already off! Hopefully I can find it out in the yard somewhere... but if she lost it in the thicket or neighbor's field, it's totally gone.
I don't suppose there's any way I can make my own collars? The cheapest I've found is $4 on E-bay (including shipping), which is a little better than $6 from the local Petsmart... and WAY better than $7-9 from Petco!
If she's going to be losing collars every other week, that's gonna get expensive. The only reason I bother with one, is I don't want people thinking she's just some stray, and that she's actually owned.
About the only thing I can think of, is buy a lot of that elastic band from sewing department and use that..maybe with a small safety pin to link the two ends together, and put the tag on the safety pin's rod?
The ID tag I can just take a piece of index card and laminate with scotch tape, so that's really cheap.
I'm getting her a microchip on 9/10, but want ID on her physically until then (and maybe even after...the city north of mine doesn't make a habit of scanning for chips when they take in animals, even though they're supposed to!)
