It would be sheer cruelty to keep him in all the time. Has Joey's collar broken away or is he lying somewhere, hurt or worse? So whenever he is out I am frightened to death when he leaves the garden. It is often really frightening when I get a faint signal which stays the same for hours. Over that period, I have lost at least 15 collars with tabs attached (it may be more)! At about £20 a time for the tab + the new collar cost, it is a very costly exercise, but I keep doing it as I am so worried about my cat coming to harm and me never being able to find him. Where I live, there is a large private field behind me, which he starts off in, then he goes to the built-up areas, which it is impossible for me to access without constantly trespassing over private land and gardens to see if I can get a better signal. This would be ok if it was just the collar, but since I have had him (over 3 years), I have also used a light 'Loc8tor' tab on him, which is fantastic, except that when he loses the collar, the tab goes with it! I have only ever recovered a couple of collars using the 'beeper' unit, which were in the field nearby, but the others are either completely out of range of the unit, or with a very faint 'signal'. Can fellow cat owners give me some information/help, please? I have always used 'break away' collars on my 3 cats and these are fine for 2 of my cats, as they don't move much past the garden, but the third, Joey, tends to roam far and wide, through undergrowth etc and subsequently often loses his collar.
