The reflective ink is the point of the pattern rather than decoration: it throws back headlights and torch beams, so a cat sitting in a kerbside gutter at dusk registers as something rather than nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe buckle is a break-away type. Ancol are explicit that it is designed to come apart if the collar snags, which is what makes a collar defensible at all on a cat that climbs fences and goes over sheds. The oversized bell does the other half of the job, giving birds and small mammals warning that something is stalking them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreak-away buckle — Ancol state it releases so a cat can escape if the collar catches while climbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective star print, visible in headlights and torchlight rather than merely bright by day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXL warning bell, deliberately larger than a standard collar bell, to reduce predation on wildlife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable 20.5–34cm from one collar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight webbing, so there is little for a cat to object to.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in widely recycled packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCats with outdoor access, including climbers — Ancol confirm the break-away buckle on this collar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCats in a household that wants garden birds left alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKittens from around a 20.5cm neck through to large adults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying a lightweight ID tag or a reflective tag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a walking collar — the buckle is designed to release, so a lead must never be clipped to it.
