When observed in a vehicles headlights, these reflectorized collars return the light directly to the source, providing a bright visual warning. Reflectorized pet collars have the potential to sharply reduce the ugly statistics of animal roadway slaughter. Some pet industry spokesmen think they are making conventional pet collars obsolete. Manufacturers report an ever increasing volume in should not be ignored. should make every effort to Indeed, because it is the keep animals off roadways nature of cats to roam at that is, on a leash, fenced, or night and people are prone to let them out then, cat owners should give reflectorized collars serious consideration.

However, there are occasions, either through owner carelessness, or the natural penchant animals seem to have for getting loose, when they will roam the streets and highways at night.
