Question 1

How do I fit the breakaway collar into the PounceBright collar cover?

Accepted Answer

Unclip the breakaway collar and choose the end opposite the buckle.Thread that end through the stitched channel in the collar cover until it reaches the other end. While threading through hold onto the other end of the collar so it remains outside the collar cover. As you pull it through, the cover will naturally gather into its scruchie shape. Adjust the fabric so the scallops sit evenly around the collar. Clip the collar onto your cat and adjust it so it's snug but comfortable. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between the collar and your cat's neck. It should rotate freely but not be loose enough to slip off.If you need to adjust the size later, simply slide the cover back to expose the collars adjustable section.

Question 2

Are the collars safe for cats?

Accepted Answer

PounceBright bird-safe cat collars include a removable breakaway safety collar designed to release under pressure if caught on branches, fences or bushes, helping reduce the risk of entanglement while your cat explores outdoors. The breakaway collar supplied is removable and can be replaced with a collar of your choice but for your cat's safety we always recommend a breakaway collar. No pet accessory can guarantee safety in every situation, and collars should be checked regularly for fit and condition. We recommend monitoring your cat when first introducing any new collar.

Question 3

Do bright colours really help protect birds?

Accepted Answer

Research shows that birds see colour more vividly than humans. Bright, bold patterns can help make cats more visible, giving birds extra time to escape. Our Visibility+ range also includes holographic accents that catch and reflect sunlight adding another layer of visibility. While no collar can prevent hunting entirely, studies have consistently found that visibility makes a real difference in protecting birdlife.

Question 4

Are your collars suitable for long haired cats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our distinctive scalloped design helps the collar remain more visible, even on many long-haired cats. Bright colours and bold patterns are designed to stand out against your cat's coat, although visibility may vary depending on your cat's fur length and thickness.

Question 5

What size do the collars fit?

Accepted Answer

Our collar covers are designed to fit most standard breakaway cat collars (adjustable size 19-32cm). Each collar cover comes with a removable breakaway cat collar already inserted. This breakaway collar is removable and can be replaced with a collar of your choice. We do always recommend a breakaway safety buckle for your cat's safety.

Question 7

How do I clean my PounceBright collar cover?

Accepted Answer

• Hand wash gently in cool or lukewarm water using a small amount of mild detergent.• Lay flat or hang to air dry naturally in the shade to preserve the fabric quality and colour. • Do not tumble dry as excessive heat may affect the HTV bonding on holographic and reflective        accents.• Check the collar regularly for signs of wear and replace if damaged.

Question 8

What happens if my cat comes home without their collar?

Accepted Answer

A missing collar doesn't necessarily indicate a faulty product. In many cases, the breakaway buckle has released exactly as it was designed to do - releasing under pressure to help keep your cat safe if it becomes caught on a branch, fence or bush. 💡 Adding an ID tag with your phone number or address can help your PounceBright collar be returned if it's found.
