My cat isn't use to wearing a collar and nearly chocked trying to get it off. Although it wasn't loose, she wiggled it up and it up got it caught in her mouth. It was a very scary ordeal. Ive tried the diffuser but it was defective and just smelled burnt.

My cat has gone nuts w/this collar.  It's been on for 24 hrs.  I've never seen her like this!  The collar has not relaxed her in any way.  When she finally emerges from her hiding place, it's coming off.  She deserves better.

I got these collars specifically because my cats are just getting used to wearing a collar. I had bought the nice nylon ones and they just destroy them. These have proven to be tough again pawing claws. And I think my cats like the material better. I couldn't get a collar to stay on my boy for the life of me. Got him these ones and after 1 day he acts like it's not even on.

My Exotic Shorthair had an infection near his mouth where the area required shaving and then of course healing - including allowing the hair to grow back. No scratching. I thought I'd finally solved the problem with the semi-flexible clear extra-small PET E- collar but then I discovered my sneaky cat had somehow figured out how to angle his leg all the way around it to scratch off the fur again! (secret kitty yoga classes?) So, once again back to the drawing board. I got this, which is 6" from neck outward. There is no chance he can finesse his leg around this one. The draw back is however, that I have to take it off of him so he can have supervised eating and drinking time from his bowls and also so he can groom himself. He can eat and drink with it on it's just that it causes a rather "kttienado" type scene around the bowls as friskies start flying. The supervising is worth it though because the fur is growing back fast and I can't wait for the poor little guy to get sprung and I'm sure he can't either.

The metal ring that used to come on this collar, to attach the cat tag, is no longer included. There is no way to attach cat's name tag now.

This personalized collar turned out great but unfortunately was too big for my cat, it's on her pet carrier now! Would still recommend but not for cats!

Very effective. My cat doesn't mind wearing it.

Unfortunately neither of my cats will use this. It is made well and sure looks cozy to me, but they aren't convinced.

I got this collar for my cat but I didn't want to put the collar directly on the cat. The collar is not a safety breakaway and I get very worried about leaving collars like that on my kitten. We got this collar to help the other cats in the house get used to her though and it did that although we slightly modified it. We cut off a section of the calming collar and sewed it onto the back of a normal breakaway collar. This worked great and it also means the collar lasts much longer. I still wouldn't recommend these for anyone though unless they were going to modify them like I did because they could be very dangerous for a cat.

My cat is an outside cat and he is always losing his collar. The breakaway collar is great if you have an outside cat since you don't have to worry of him getting stuck somewhere.

This cone only just fits around my cat (10lb) neck so depending on your cat, the X-Small may not be a good fit.
There are plenty of velcro strips if you want to make it smaller, but unfortunately all of the exposed strips also mean you catch a lot of cat hair in them.
The nice thing about this collar is you can put it on backwards easily to prevent scratching or licking just behind the shoulders - perfect for my cat BUT this makes it even easier for the cat to remove as he just needs to walk into something or up against a ledge and then walk backwards to remove the cone nicely in the middle of the litter box.(Note that I didn't tie the cone to the collar but this cone rarely makes it overnight or during the day - the larger plastic cone I had would stay on for multiple days at a time without attaching it to his collar (although that wasn't foolproof either).
The reflective strip does make it easier to see him in the dark and the cone is small enough that it doesn't block his peripheral vision which a larger cone might.

I returned this item. The neck strap is too wide, preventing my cat from being able to move her head properly. The velcro is so stiff that it cannot bend, so my cat could not bend her neck or waist. My cat was very unhappy wearing this because it was impossible for her to get comfortable.

In contrast, I have used the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Thundershirt/dp/B00A5P34QC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Thundershirt</a>&nbsp;on her many times and it fits her very well and she can be in it for hours with no discomfort. She is able to move her head, neck, and waist with little resistance. She can walk, sleep, and jump while wearing it with no obvious signs that it is hindering her.

Basically, I think this product needs to go back to the drawing board in regards to smaller cats. The materials used don't translate well to smaller sizes.

No sooner than I put it on my cat, it was off.  I tried multiple times and each and every time, it opened up.  I tried making it tighter, that didn't work.  I tried loosening it, that didn't work.  I would NOT recommend this collar.

This thing is adorable on my small female cat but she hates wearing it, it is always like rocket science for me to figure out how to get it on her each time AND she has managed to back out of it and escape as well. So plan on practicing it a lot for your own know-how and getting your cat used to it. That's all I can say because I lost patience with it and it sits unused.

So glad a friend recommended this collar.  My cat lost several "quick release" collars within days of putting it on him so I was hoping I'd find something different that wouldn't be so easily lost.  He's been wearing his Beastie Band for at least a month now so that's a good sign!  This was also very easy to put on my cat (velcro).

I bought this for my very energetic rescue cat.  I placed her microchip tag on the strap with a key ring (odd it doesn't come with one, but okay).  The first night the cat got it off.  Wasn't there to witness it so not sure how.  But the outer strap was  pulled so there was about an inch of slack, and the inner portion (which hugs the cats neck) was accordingly tightened about an inch.  I readjusted it and tried again.  the next evening I caught my cat in action, yanking the tag with her paws such that she got it and the outer strap in her mouth.  She continued to pull it so tight she began to wheeze.  Eventually I assume it would have popped off (like it had the night before) but I am no longer a believer that these are the safest option for her.  Also, if the cat can pull it off in a matter of minutes then the purpose of the collar (to alert someone who she belongs to if she escapes outdoors) is not met. I've never had a problem with the buckle strap kinds. I'm still rating this a 4 because there is nothing wrong with the quality, just the design

I have 9 cats and have purchased these collars a couple times. I thought, with nine, it couldn't hurt and might help everyone get along. I didn't really notice any change - but I knew it could take a while. The problem is - the cats don't like the collars. Two of them basically ignored the collars - but they're older and don't usually get in spats anyway. Most of the cats scratched and tried to bit the collars. I had two get them stuck in their mouths (they did not break away) but I thought I must have made them too loose. Then it happened again. One of the cats got it stuck overnight -- and it took a long time to try and get it off. We ended up cutting it. He had been stuck so long that his jaw was sore for over a day. He kept working it and licking. I ended up calling the vet and removing all the collars. She said the strong floral aroma is off putting to cats anyway. I never thought of that - but I have read that before in articles about litter pans. Thankfully, he's fine, but I thought I should share with other cat lovers.
