I am planning on putting video cameras on feral cats and I need a drop off collar so I can retrieve the cameras. Most people who have put things on collars on feral cats before have apparently either worked with cats that they could capture repeatedly or accepted that some collars would be lost through non-recovery. I am going to be working with cats that I know are pretty trap-shy, so I don't want to count on catching them a second time.
There are lots of companies that make drop off collars, but everything I have seen is too big and heavy. Has anyone out there already solved this problem? Dr. Russell Burke Professor, Chair Donald E.
