Collar is NOT breakaway!
These collars do not break away like they are supposed to, and my cat nearly died because of it. After wearing it for a month - with really no noticeable behavior change, the inappropriate peeing didn't stop - he had climbed on top of the refrigerator as he liked to do, and my wife yelled at him to get down, as she likes to do. But this time, when he jumped down, somehow the collar got hung on the cabinet door knob and the poor guy basically hung himself. This is a very large, almost 20 lb cat, and the collar did not break. I wasn't home, and if my neighbor had not by the grace of God been visiting, my cat would now be dead. Luckily, my neighbor is a doctor and he actually gave my cat CPR and got him breathing again. We then took him to the vet who checked him out and gave him some steriods, muscle relaxers, and pain injections for his neck and sent him home. Thank God he is doing ok, but no thanks to Nurture Calm for selling collars that don't break away like they're supposed to. I will never buy another one and I will warn anyone who will listen that they put the lives of their pets at risk if they use these collars. As I said, my cat is very large and the collar didn't break when he jumped off a refrigerator and snagged it, so it's not going to break under much of any kind of impact. I have attached a picture of the result if anyone wants to see.
