My partner has been having a blast making things for the kitties since they learned how to crochet. The girls have new toys they love, and they enjoy being pretty with their new clothes. I will have more pictures to come in the following days. I don't want to post too much too often. Here is a bonus pic for now

Cute, until it strangles them.

Are you threatening to strangle my cat?

I think the concern is that it doesn't necessarily do that thing where the collar will come off if it gets caught on something. Like, most commercial collars have a breakaway that will prevent a cat from getting strangled. It might be worth getting breakaway latches and using them in any future designs.

Thank you for an actual, informative response that I can learn from. We will definitely keep this in mind! That is the last thing we want. The way they are now, it isn't an actual knot. They pull apart if snagged

Edit: Also, we take them off when we go to sleep. We try to keep them under supervision if they are wearing their clothes
