If your cat is the sort of feline who likes to be both fashionable and “green,” the Petmate Eco-Friendly Breakaway Cat Collar is an attractive, affordable option for a functional breakaway collar.

The collar comes in a range of colors and styles to suit the most finicky of cats (and aren’t they all?). Available in bright, eye-catching shades such as Yellow Sunshine, the line of collars also features designs such as green daisies, purple circles, and blue water drops.

But the Petmate Eco-Friendly Breakaway Cat Collar offers more than just fashion-forward style. If you and your pet are trying to go “green” and become more environmentally aware, this collar is a good way to accomplish that goal. Both the webbing and the packaging of the collar are made from 100% recycled materials.

And who could have guessed that plastic bottles could create such a comfortable, appealing texture? Even after an extended test period, the Petmate Eco-Friendly Breakaway Cat Collar showed no signs of creating discomfort or irritation.

The Petmate Eco-Friendly Breakaway Cat Collar has other functional touches as well. A sweet, small bell lets you know if your cat is creeping up behind you – a design feature which may also be appreciated by any other pets in your house, such as dogs, who might want a heads up when the cat is nearby. And the bell is removable if you opt for a quieter roaming kitty.

The breakaway function is also handy for outdoor kitties, quickly releasing if caught or entangled – a plus if your cat is particularly adventurous.

Bottom line: for a retail price of just over $5 during some online sales, this collar is a stylish, functional option for environmentally savvy cats.

Pros: Made from 100% recycled materials; attractive, appealing colors.

Cons: None.
