Void because, well, just look at him, and shadow because he won’t leave me alone (not complaining in the least).

A black cat with his tongue stuck out slightly.

I hope he has a bell to help you avoid stepping on him

    Probably not the worst idea honestly, he’s constantly running between my feet anytime I walk across the room. Midnight bathroom runs are a fun time.

    Yeah it's the reason my indoor void has a collar at all, is to hold a little bell so I don't injure us both some night tripping over her. I did also write my cell # on it, just in case.

    I do have a bell for both my cats but they haven’t worn them since being kittens. They both absolutely hated the bell and it killed me a little to see them constantly trying to take it off. I could always try again now that they’re older but we’ll see.

    I tried it when she was a kitten and same, she didn't like it so I took it off. Tried again later with just a breakaway collar, she ignored it. Added a bell, she ignored that too. Although once in awhile (maybe 6 months?) she'll pull it off just to show me she can. Then I test to be sure her neck hasn't grown and it's still a little loose. A breakaway clasp is important for cats in case it snags mid-jump.

    Their collars are breakaway, I remember the pet shop clerk gave us a lecture about it when we said we were new cat owners and weren’t sure everything we’d need. I’ve only had my cats for a little over a year so I do appreciate the advice, I still feel like I’m learning all the time. My only other experience with a pet is my parents’ dog so I’m no expert in having pets in general, so any advice is always nice. Thanks for taking the time to offer some.
