What is the diameter of the collar? Especially for muscular "tom cats" that have big necks. ( a orange tabby rescue that was neutered late)

I don't know the actual length, but my orange tabby cat's neck is 11" and I had to cut the extra length off.

The entire collar is 14 inches. There is approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches between the "buckle" and the ring to hold the excess. My cat is a tom weighing 15 lbs and there is plenty of room left on his collar. It works great!

It can be a Fat cat, my cat's diameter is 13-14 inches. So it should fit that Tabby, and it worked excellent, almost the same day.

The collars are adjustable. I had to cut off about 6 inches for my small cats.

I'm sorry, I no longer have the collar because of the reactions it caused. I believe it is a one size fits all. You cut off the length not needed.

Off hand, I'm not sure but I have a 16 pound Maine coon cat and it fits very comfortably, with at least an inch left over.

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

I had to trim mine down significantly to fit my heeler/bluetick. So I don't know the original length of the collar, but mine is trimmed down to 20 inches currently, so it's at least that long.

Can someone please post the actual measurement of this collar fully extended?

hello. you may want to email joybies directly and ask them about which size would be best for your cat. they are very helpful in figuring out the proper fit. :-)

There is always a risk of a cat getting hung up in something. My first cat given to me by my Aunt Lennie disappeared and I found her a year later(or what was left of her) hung in a fence row 50 feet from the house. The best way to ensure that the risk is minimized is to keep 2 fingers well under the collar when you put it on. The cat SHOULD be able to pull out of that will some effort. Some collars used to have break away panels but sure enough,they did and the collar was lost. This does not eliminate the possibility but it is about as good as you can do with any collar

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!

My cat is average size and the collar has Velcro so you can adjust it to fit your dog. Nevertheless I couldn't make it small enough so Shadow didn't wind up wearing it around his waist.

Not sure my cat is about 14 15 pounds and it was a bit loose on him it's adjustable so I adjusted and it fit fine it was easy to get on him I was amazed he let me put it on he has refused a collar since he was three months old and he is 14!

I agree with v-kat that your kitty needs to be finished growing. I have both sizes, because I have 3 cats. The larger fits my 12.5 lb and 15.4 lb cats. The smaller fits my 7lb cat. It is important to note that the piece that goes around the neck is wide...about 3 inches for the large vs. 2 inches for the smaller. The Velcro gives you about 5 inches of play to adjust the size.

When I get home from work I will measure and let you know. The collar is pretty long , I have a 50 lb Setter , The collar when on the dogs neck wraps about 3/4 around his neck again. I will measure.

I got the small for my kitten when she was 3-4 months old. It fit her just fine and there is room for when she gets bigger. There is a drawstring that can be used to adjust the collar and she was still able to eat, drink and use the litter box. She's about 5 months now and we used it on her just recently when we got her spayed and still had no issues. The opening for the small is about 10-11 inches around and you can tighten it as much as you need to and the length of the collar is around 4 1/2in. Hopefully that helps! :)

The tag is 2" wide x 1-1/8" tall and the opening for the collar is 1/4" wide. I have a narrow collar for my cat and it fits just fine and the 1/4" open easily fits over the snaps on the collar.

Hi, I am purchasing two of these in Large for my 3+ year old tabby-brothers, as they grew out of their Mediums that I purchased for them as kittens. My boys are by no means obese or really even "extra large" cats...one weighs 11 1/2 lbs and is just a stockier guy than his brother who weighs 9 lbs. The smaller of the 2 is quite slim and lightly built (Abyssinian-esqe) (the Vet always says: and how is 'she' :-)...I adjusted the Medium out as far as possible and he wanted to wriggle out of it because it was very tight. The Medium girth on his brother was a couple of inches from even being fasten-able! Not to ruffle any feathers, but Large may be more realistic for the "average" adult cat from my experience. I agree that an oversized harness would be unsafe, so you may want to order a Small and a Medium to try on a young cat/kitten. These are, BTW, a steal for the price and made very well - and are better at keeping the cat in the harness than the 2 strap models without this one's clever design! Just be careful at first until you are sure that your cat is comfortable wearing a harness/being on a leash/being outdoors and keep it snug. Have fun!

My cat is about 9 lbs, but the main thing is neck size. Barnaby's neck is 9.5" and the collar fits him exactly, with the two ends butting. We need it that way, since if the open part turns around to the front, he can barely get at his wound if there's any gap. Maybe you should go to a pet store and see how big the different sizes look. The medium is far larger in circumference, and perhaps too big for a domesticated cat.

Hello. I have the sml (5.5) for my toy poodle but had to buy the small long for my miniature poodles as they had really long noses! It is 7.5 inches long but the neck is very adjustable. My only concern would be the weight on your cat. My dogs were about 10-12 lbs when they wore them. If your cat is a good size then it will work. Good luck.

I purchased a Small, which worked well for my 8 lb kitty at its most snug adjustment. The Velcro closure could accomodate a slightly larger cat/neck size, but probably not a 22 lb one. Try a larger size. A Medium might work since large cats don't have huge necks...just large bodies.
