We have 3 indoor babies, and none of them are "naked". All have collars, all have tags, and one (the youngest) has a bell because he likes to sneak up on the other two cats and pounce on them. This way, I figured I would at least give the other two a warning and fighting chance if the third came by to "visit". LOL.
By the way, before anyone mentions this, they are all wear those safety breakaway collars, so they can get out of it if they get stuck on something in my house (say the window blinds or something).

Grendle-they are all updated with their vaccinations, I take them to the vet for their yearly appointment all the time. (And sometimes in between if one of them is sick.) But good advice nevertheless!!!

Hi there! I have three indoor babies as well.:) They are all female and love on each other all the time. My oldest, Mattie, is 12 now. She is so proud of her collar, pendant, and tag. Her pendant is a little, silver heart that says, "SPOILED" LOL, her tag is a purple (to match her collar) plastic heart that has her add. and phone No. She loves to stand in the hallways and shake her head/necklace. It's her way of saying, "I'm right here, but I'm too vane to jump up on you right now". My other two REFUSE to wear a collar of any kind. They are much younger and don't have the pride that Mattie has. This may be not an answer, but I loved hearing about you three babies! :)

My 4 are naked. I don't like to see them with collars on, but I can see why some people use them with name tags and bells on. The reflective ones are a good idea too if you live near traffic.
I don't live near traffic and I live in a small community so everybody knows I am my cats' housekeeper and domestic servant. The only time I regret that they are naked is when they bring a little bird in. I wish they wouldn't do that....

some cats are collar wearers and different arent. one in all our cats will positioned on a collar particularly circumstances, yet tries to get it off after a whilst and the different merely refuses to positioned on one in any respect. do no longer tension her to positioned on it, she won't be gentle and you recognize how obdurate cats could be. I dont rather see how a collar can help if she escapes, that's what microchipping is for nowdays. while having events, positioned her in a serperate room that wont be spread out for the time of pronounced social gathering with nutrition, water, clutter and her prominent toys. She'll be happy there and lots safer. She possibly get scarred from all those prople being there and that's the reason she tries to flee. Dont tension her to positioned on it, she'll merely try to rebell greater, she'll be ok without it

I used to have a name tag and charm on my cats collar, but she kept getting the tag stuck in the heating grate. Scared the bejeezus out of me, so now she's nekkid. When we travel with her we make sure she has a collar and name tag and bell so we at least can hear her if she hides somewhere.

I bought a collar with a bell on it for my cat and she hates it. It drives her nuts, she tries to eat the bell, so I don't make her wear it. I might buy a collar without a bell some time and try that.

Collars are a great idea for cats.
BTW, even though they are "indoor babies," please make sure they have all their outdoor meds ... you can track feline diseases into the house without meaning to, and the cats can catch them.
Three is a great number for a cattery. Fewer and they get wierd and lonely, more and they run the place.

Both of ours wear collars with contact information and their name's. Had a hard time finding one for our male though. He hates them and made sure to try to take them off. One he has hasn't came off yet. He still tries though all the time.

both of my cats have tags. they're city cats and even though we keep the windows shut most of the time, i still worry about them sneaking out, or if there's an accident and they're able to wander out on their own. plus, that way i can tell which one is near me by the sound of the jingle from their tags :^)
