After years of scratching at it; jangling the tags attached to it to express her anger; and general wear Molly destroyed her current collar. She has had one for most of the time I’ve had her so there’s a semi-permanent crease in her fur around the neck.
Fortunately there’s a Petsmart on the way home from work. I had the great luck of finding a new collar still made in America amongst all the cheap Chinese crap; oddly the American-made Harley-Davidson one was the same price as the import, blowing a hole in the myth about how exporting jobs, I mean free trade, saves us consumers money.
Economic lecture aside, the biker-themed collar is perfect for our Alpha Cat. Molly is a bully, this adds to her toughness.
