Instructions

    • 1

      Place the measuring tape around the cat's neck. It's best to use a soft, bendable measuring tape instead of a carpenter's tape.

    • 2

      Read the measuring tape where the beginning of the tape meets what you have wrapped around the cat's neck.

    • 3

      Add three inches to whatever that measurement is. The resulting number is the size of collar to purchase for the cat.
