I think someone is removing my cat's collar

Why would anyone do this?

Collars don't seem to annoy him yet everytime I put one on him it will disappear within about 48 hours. At first it was a bit of a joke and we laughed about it but we are now 5 collars down and I am wondering if it is being done on purpose.

If he was doing it himself I really can't imagine that he is clever enough to pretend not to be bothered then sneak out and remove it where we can't find it.

I have had cats remove their collars in the past but they usually show off their collar removing skills in front of me.

Any ideas?

I'd guess it is your cat removing them.

One of mine wears a tracker, he doesn't remove it that often anymore but due to the tracker we can always find the missing collar.

He usually does it by having a nice roll on his back and it pings off.

It is far more likely that the cat is removing his own collar. They are more than capable of it 🤣🤣

Ty Anna your message made me smile and my car does love a dust bath, and a good roll but for the time being it’s getting dark I think they’ll be staying in the warm soon

There is this lady round the corner from me that is constantly taking in my cat. We have had bother with this lady for a while and it's got to the point we have contacted the police, the council and the citizens advice to which they cannot do anything so we out a collar on my cat and he has been fine with it the last few days and this morning has came back with out it, and he smells like the old lady's house.
