Happy Cat collars

Pixie et le kit Happy CatHappy Cat is a private action for animal welfare. Stephanie Schneider is a cat friend, and her four cats can go outside. However, she was for a long time against the fact to equip them with collar.

Stephanie wanted a collar which is not too much expensive, which can be seen, which is attractive, and which doesn’t present any danger for her cats. She had one day the idea to cut a strip of Chromolux paper to replace the collar which Sugar had lost again : it was purrfect !

kit Happy CatWe already heard of Happy Cat collars, and when she contacted us, we asked her for a sample to test the product before to tell you about it ; we had the pleasant surprise to receive a complete kit (50 collars, more than 1000 self-adhesive pastes to decorate them, reflecting stickers, 2 indelible pens, and a Scotch tape) !

colors Happy CatMaking a collar is easy : cut the strip at the good length by measuring on the cat, decorate it, and assemble it with the adhesive tape to close it. Life cycle of the collar : approximately two weeks. Price of the kit : 23.60 € + shipping. Zone of delivery: Europe. The site is in German, but videos allow very easily to understand everything.

Is it reliable ? Strips are not easy to tear if we fire in flat smoothly, but as soon as it twists little itself, they give in easily. Strips have a 1 kg resistance. Claire tried to dip them into the water : 10 mn later, the paper softens and tears easily also.

DIY secure window

How to aerate the house in the evening to let in the freshness without Zorro tries to jump into the garden through the open window (and without I try to follow him) ?

It’s the big question since the beginning of the heat wave, and Claire finally imagined an answer. It’s her who built our two window protections, because Momo went on Wednesday to be operated to remove three plates he had in his right wrist. Everything went well, but he cannot do much.

Claire used wooden small boards, wood lattice for vine creepers, and safety net for cat. She wanted to make something which is light, easy to set up or to remove, and little blocking. After an afternoon working, here is the result :

protection outdoor

The window protection holds thanks to two small boards which overtake on a side and skip behind the shutter which is opened ; it leans on the other side against the inside of the shutter which is closed. Ingenious, right ?
