How bulky is the collar for a 7lb cat?

When I got my dogs they were 3-4 pounds and it stuck out a lot, almost like a bowtie. Now they were 13-15 pounds and it's not noticeable at all. It will probably stick out some, but not enough to be a problem. At worst, buy a collar before you purchase the door to see.

The sensor measures 2" long by 1" wide by about 5/8" thick. Our cat is 12 lb and it doesn't seem to bother her though it looks a bit large to me. Be sure to buy extra batteries for the collar - we tried to solder our own (they are a regular type of battery that has the contacts modified) and it didn't work. The collar ran out of juice, so we had to pay overnight shipping to get new batteries, and to spend the night opening and closing the door for the cat.

Pretty bulky i'd highly discourage this product for a cat the device that goes on the color isnt heavy just pretty large for a cat, looks ok on a large dog

I have a dog so I don't know what collars specifically for cats look like. My dog's collar unit is 1" x 7/8" with a depth of 1/2 inch. It comes on a quarter inch wide, cut to fit webbed collar.

I originally bought this door for my German Shepard, who bunked with my cat. My cat figured out how to follow in the dogs tracks and go outside after him. After the dog passed away, I put the sensor on the cat collar and he was able to go out on the patio whenever he wanted to sun himself. it worked out great!

Hello,I'm not familiar with the Beastie brand of collars. I have my two in regular break-away ones that are between 3/8-1/2 inch and small is the perfect size. How big are your kitties? Mine are 6mo and 5-8lbs and the tags are as big as they can handle, I would be worried that medium would be a too big/cumbersome and annoy them, since they will be wearing the collar 24/7. I haven't had any problems with it falling off, it's held on by a velcro-like material that wraps around the collars and sticks back on itself. Hope that helps a bit!

Hi, our cat is probably 9-10lbs and it fit her. Getting it on is "fun", but it was secure and stayed on once fastened.

It isn't that heavy just a little bulky. Collar can be cut to fit pet. Don't keep on all the time. Start out just a few hours a day, times that you know pet usally barks for no reason. I have a doxie and I just only have to say collar now and he quits barking.

Absolutely- all my cats are bigger- mine had to wear an e collar after surgery for two weeks and somehow he still got through!!

If your cat is used to wearing a collar that is heavier on one side and tight possibly. The antena will be strange i would assume but you won't know for sure uess you try it out.

The holes on the collar go almost all the way around, so you can tighten it up as much as you need. My dogs are just under 7 lbs and it will work on them.

I don't think it is narrow enough for a cat collar. Maybe they make them specifically for cats?

Yes, I would think it would be quite heavy/bulky around a little maltese neck. They're similar in size to any of the correction collars - maybe you can check the size at your local pet store.

I have a 10 lb "long and skinny" cat, complete with pencil neck. The small fit fine around the body (with lots of room to spare), but the neck portion was way too big. The extra small fit better around the neck, but didn't fit so well around his little belly.

Hi. It could on a larger cat 10 lbs and up. It will look big, and the collar is not a break away collar, so that could be a problem for a cat. Thanks!

I got the s/m when my cat was around that size, though he did grow out of it relatively quickly (young maine coon) if you go to the makers website they have neck and chest measurements that will help you too! there is some play as its velcro and there is a built in level of adjustment. hope that helps some

Thank you for your question! Many customers have found success in using this system for their cat. Please know that this collar is recommended for pets weighing at least 8 lbs.

The transponder that hangs from my cat's collar is about the size of a piece of jolly rancher hard candy. She's about 9 lbs and it doesn't bother her at all. Use the waterproof capsule. I didn't because my cat doesn't go outside, and I found that it dangled into her water dish. The batteries in the transponder failed and I had to clean the inside of the case.

I believe it will seem a bit bulky. It's not heavy though. Was concerned about the size and interfering with my dog (20 lbs) comfort but when she laid down the collar/device slid to the side. My issue was that the device quit working after about 30 days. Now I have a nonfunctional device and extra cans of spray.

the device that hangs on the collar (on our cat) is approximately 3/4"x1/2" or smaller. We used the waterproof cover over it because he gets it in his fish bowl...so maybe it is a bit larger. The remote is slim and maybe 3"x4" We've had good luck with it. The tag beeps when you are looking for it and our cat has come to realize that he gets a treat so he comes pretty quickly.

My 7lb cat fits with ok room. But if your dog is any bigger than that I would say no. Very sturdy product though.
