How did these work? I don't have collars on my clan... They take them off and the collars accumulate a lot of sphynx rust :( but it worries me that they dont wear a collar because if they ever get out there is no way to identify them!!

I do like several designs but would like to know if they come in dark colors... The fish bones, gold fish, paws and.... There was one more but I forgot :(

oh the hearts does that come in something other than red?

My cats have both these and the satin lined collars I make with the kitty safe buckle. Just like any collar, these will collect Sphynx grease. To clean, all I do is wet the collar and squirt some dawn dish soap on it. Lather it and let it sit a few minutes before rinsing well and laying flat to dry. Sealy's collars look nasty dirty in a week because he's so oily but Hadyn wore her newest collar for two weeks and it still looked new so it will depend on the cat as to his quick it will get dirty.

Most of the designs come in different colors. In another thread in my store (see link in my siggy) there's a thread with the ones I have for sale. I can specifically request certain colors in the designs when I order next, but I'm not sure when that will be yet.

Forgive me... but I edit stuff all the time for work:

Soft and comfortable, the collars stretch along their entire length for safety and are so soft and lightweight that they stay on virtually all cats.
– You say soft twice in one sentence, and it’s a bit run-on. Why would soft and lightweight make it easier to stay on? (just a question)

They have a unique cut-to-fit feature allows them to fit any cat- from a kitten to the biggest tomcat!
- They have a unique cut-to-fit feature THAT allows them to fit any cat
Or
- The unique cut-to-fit feature allows them to fit any cat

Can you hang a tag from it? (i.e. is loop built in) If so, is loop removable if you don’t want to hang anything?
How does it close?
Maybe mention that lack of clasp is more comfortable for cats?
How wide is it? Are they all the same width?
Washable?
What is it made of? (not sure if some cats have sensitivities to anything they may wear)
Are designs painted on or woven in?
If woven, Is it a thick or smooth weave?
What do I have to do to ‘complete’ it- cut it? Do I need to attach Velcro, or just cut it?
Can I get it personalized? If not, suggest personal tag.

I'm on my phone on Tapatalk and can't check the thread where these collars are for sale to see exactly what description is there right now. I wrote this thread prior to adding these collars and the ones I have for sale are actually in a separate thread. I wrote this particular thread to see if anyone would be interested in them if indid decide to stock them. The description was taken directly from the manufacturer, I didn't personally write it. That being said, I'm not sure how much more info is included in the thread where I have the collars shown for sale but I'll answer all of your questions in case they aren't covered.

You can hang a tag from it, there's an eyelet in the collar. No it is not removable. It closes with Velcro. They are 1/2" wide, which is standard for cat collars. Yes they are washable. They are made of neoprene which is the same fabric used for wet suits. The designs are painted on. All you have to do it cut off the extra on the end after it is fitted for your cat's neck. No they are not personalized. For $5 as is or $6 with a bell, there's no economical way to offer a personalized tag.

I don't make these collars. These are the only thing in my store which I don't make. I've decided to sell them because I think they are a cute and cheap alternative to traditional cat collars.

Hey, it's ok. If I were asking how the description was, your comments would have been very very helpful :) I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in buying them if I decided to stock them.
