Review: “Our cat loves her beastie band! She's had a few collars from various shops over the years, most of which haven't lasted very long. Her beastie band has lasted such a long time, so we bought 2 more!  Her beastie band collar feels very comfortable and is easy to take off and put on. The designs on the collars are very sweet too.

Overall, would highly recommend 😊.”  Ady

Review: “I have been buying beastie bands from Funky Felines for some years now.  The customer service is always great, and the collars themselves are really good products.  They are the only collars that my cats will tolerate wearing and not take off (they can take quick release collars off very easily), but they have come off in emergency situations so they are safe to use.  They are also strong enough to hold trackers, and can be cut to size.”  Kate

Review: Beastie Bands

“Our first band arrived and our cat knew before we did... She would not leave the envelope alone and we were bemused until we opened it and found the catnip sample! Thanks for that.

Our cat hated collars but until this week she'd had her Beastie Band on for almost a year! Clearly comfortable and it looked great. She lost it recently somehow but it shows that when they get caught, they come off, which is exactly what you want to happen! We've just ordered another and look forward to it arriving. This company gives great service and sells great products. Thank you.” Rebecca

Review:  “Beastie Bands are the best collars ever, reliable, comfortable, stretchy and safe.  Since discovering Beastie Bands, my Siamese has lost only 1 collar in 3 years, prior to that it was a monthly occurrence, so pretty expensive and given that the Beastie Bands now carry a tracking device it is even more important.  5 star service from Funky Felines, I cannot recommend them highly enough and Frankie says  “Thanks for the catnip, just wonderful 😻”  Christine

Review:  “…just wanted to say that I am delighted with the Beastie Band collar as below.  Have included a pic of Lucifer modelling the new collar and he has kept it on for 3 weeks which is an absolute miracle!  It’s a great fit and seems very comfortable for him as well as safe which is my main priority.  Will be purchasing another for our other cat very soon.” Stephanie

Review:  “Bought two Beastie Band collars and a catnip toy. Package arrived the next day, with a free catnip sample also enclosed, so thank you, Funky Felines, for excellent service. My little escapologist sheds collars regularly but we’ve found that Beastie Bands stay put longer than any other kind, and the stretchiness makes them comfortable and safe - hence the repeat order.”  Kate

Review:  “Just wanted to add to the excellent reviews of this product.  Oscar had never kept a collar on for more than a few hours, and after he hitchhiked a round trip of over 50 miles we wanted to ensure that if he did it again he had his address with him.  The collar fits snugly and comfortably and looks smart.  I have just ordered another - just in case!  Delivery comes within a couple of days.  Five stars for both product and service.

He hunted down the catnip sample and bit through the bag in a bit of a frenzy - absolute heaven!”  Hannah

Review:  “So pleased to find a seller of Beastie Bands, the very best cat collars around! Huge selection (it was difficult to choose which to buy!) and very good price. I ordered on Tuesday evening and the collar arrived on Thursday, excellent service. Definitely recommend this company, 5 out of 5 for service and products!

Below is a photo of her with the collar on … look how wet her (Coco) face is, after drooling prolifically over the complimentary catnip! 😹😹”  Nichola

Review:  “I estimate that we have used Beastie  Band collars for about five years now and Funky Felines are the most reasonable and reliable site I have found for price, choice and delivery. I first came across the brand on an internet search on escapologist cats and their collars. We had a couple of very energetic cats who were losing collars with monotonous regularity. It wasn’t even the cost of replacements that vexed us. It was the potential for the cats to get stranded with no access as they have both microchip  collars for  house entry and magnetic for garden gates so the loss of the collar  would prevent them entering. Once we purchased our first set we never looked back. They are comfortable, safe - as elasticated enough for safety - they can be cut to size for smaller cats, and finally they are just great looking collars for the cat about town. In fact, we only replace them at Christmas  - that are that good. All of our neighbours are now converts too and I think we have seen almost every collar represented in the street, although my personal preferences have always been the black and white collars. Don’t hesitate to but this product.”  Jaqueline

Review:  “Amazing collars!! One of our boys lost 8 collars within a couple of month. I was determined to find something that would stay on and be safe. After some incessant googling I came across these. These collars are amazing! So soft, so comfortable , easy to put on. It’s stayed out for a few months now. Stretch all round so I’m confident it’s safe. The Funky designs are fab. One collar I bought from a well known pet store made my cat bleed because of the sharp thread used. No issues whatsoever with these. Please don’t ever stop supplying them!”  Caroline

Review:  “5***** product and excellent service as supplied so quickly.

I’ve had these collars before and they are really soft (but with a safe fastening) so they don’t mark Suzie’s neck.  They are very reasonably priced as they last for years and stay looking smart.  I think this is the 3rd one Sooz  has had and she is 16 now although she behaved like a mad 2 year old when she smelt the catnip sample you sent.  I’ll definitely be ordering her a stuffed Love Heart for Christmas!”  Anne

Review:  “We have been using Beastie Bands collars for our cats for years - we love the way they can be cut down, and are soft and comfortable - velcro, no buckles.  Over the years we have lost a few up trees, but we love the way they are flexible and just slip off the cat if they need to.  There is a huge range of designs so there is always something suitable for your cat.  Our senior cat, Brubeck, for instance always had the keyboard design which was perfect for him and his jazz heritage. All three of our cats wear them with pride! Beastie Bands can be hard to find -and are often really expensive, but we were delighted when we discovered them at funky-felines, we wouldn’t buy them anywhere else - they are always well priced and reliable.”  Fiona

Review:  “I discovered beastie band collars about 4 years ago.  Having got fed up with my cats loosing quick release collars which snapped off whenever they scratched themselves.  

The collars come in lots of great designs and colours, and the cats look great in them.

They stay on until there is a problem... what that means is when they snag on a branch... I've a tracker on my cats collars and have found the collars in bushes where the cats have been pushing through branches and got snagged.  A real life saver and worth the investment.

I buy from funky felines because the are the best price, widest selection and arrive promptly.  (you actually get what you order unlike other resellers)”  Richard

Review:  “I love the Beastie Band Collars and have been buying them for years now from Funky Felines the service is 1st Class, the collars themselves are great, you can cut them to size and also your cat should be able to free itself if it gets stuck etc.  I did take a photo but can’t seem to attach it, I bought the pink heart one this time, much to my Husbands dismay as we have a Ginger Tom - lucky he can’t see it 😊 x”  Tammy

Review:  “I would like to review the 2 Beastie Bands collars I ordered, which I would give 5 out of 5 to.

I have a very fussy cat who doesn’t like collars and constantly tries to lick around them, and I was trying to find something that she would feel more comfortable in. I put the Beastie Band collar on her and she didn’t even blink! She didn’t seem to notice she was wearing it at all. They are soft and as light as a feather and the Velcro makes it easy to attach. I had been worried that the Velcro would catch on her fur but it doesn’t at all. I highly recommend them for cats who don’t like collars!.”  Chloe

Review:  “One of my cats is a champion when it comes to losing collars. I had just given up thinking he is chipped, so that will have to do. when I saw beastie Band collars, and thought last collar I will try.  He went out last night, come back this morning.... Still has collar on!!!! I am so shocked:-) Downside is no bell, but a collar finally that has stayed on. Could get a bell on, just happy he has it on at moment. I wanted a collar that stayed on, and found it. I don't normally write reviews, but 10% off for writing a review on next order and my other cat would also benefit from one. Very happy cat owner.”  Jennifer


Date:  17 November 2019

Review:  “I love these collars and so do my 2 cats.  The designs are so funky and also the ones with white designs on are reflective in the dark.  They are sufficiently flexible as to be comfortable and do not easily slip off as those with a buckle attachment are prone to do.  They do not last for ever as they are made of stretch material and my boys tend to play rough but buying them from this supplier makes upgrades easy.”  Rosemary


Date:  12 November 2019

Review:  “All of our 3 cats wear these collars and I really would not consider anything else now. They can easily adapt to different neck widths and any excess can be removed by scissors. We have cat trackers on them also so important that they do not fall off easily but safety is paramount.”  Anne


Date:  15 October 2019

Review:  “Thank you Funky Felines for your excellent service. I ordered my collar and it was delivered the very next day.  Definitely 5 star service.

The collar itself is very soft and lightweight and does not bother my 7 month old kitten at all. I use the collar with a tracker and it fits very well. It is well made and safe as it stretches along its whole length so the cat would be able to escape if it got caught on anything. I would definitely give this collar 5 stars and will be buying again from Funky Felines.”  Kathryn

Review:  “We’ve been using these collars for a few years because our cats have gps trackers and these are the only collars that fit. They are excellent and safe.

Review:  “We started using beastie collars about 5 years ago when we noticed significant hair loss around our cats necks from much harsher collars. Although there is still reduced hair around their necks, it is much improved. The vet informs us that the only complete solution would be to not wear a collar at all, but living in a city we feel that a collar is important. So these collars are a great solution for us. They are soft, in a range of great designs (we’ve had many as our cats lose about 1 collar a year which is less frequently than they used to lose their old collars). These are the best price I have found on the internet, and I would definitely rate them at 5/5.” Liz


Date:  25 April 2019

Review:  “Beastie Band collar review: 5/5 for the Beastie Band collar. My three cats have been happy recipients for five years or more. The reviews for these wonderful colours are accurate. I echo the sentiments for non-compliant kittens failing to adjust to collars, and acknowledge the contribution of Monty, my Harry Houdini of a cat who managed to escape from one collar per week until I found the Beastie Band solution. I can only assume they must be more comfortable to wear because they do not cause the same negative reaction from collar sensitive cats. The added bonus is that the range available is attractive to their Staff too. The service offered by Funky Felines has always been consistently good and I have recommended them and this product to a number of neighbours who were wondering why my cats never seem to lose their collars! As another reviewer has pointed out, do fit them correctly as they have a little more give than a normal leather collar and if not adjusted properly cats can slip a paw underneath.”  Jaqueline

Review:  “5 out of 5.  Always a prompt service from funky Felines. It’s the only place I can reliably get beastie bands in the U.K. and I’ve been using them for a number of years since first buying in the US.  

We love beastie bands because they are soft and safe..... and fun. We wouldn’t use any other cat collar.”  Sally


Date:  16 February 2019

Review:  “Thanks so much for a great product and great customer service and I’m happy to send you my review below for the Beastie Band cat collar which I would rate as a 5 and also Funky Felines which is also a 5!

What a wonderful experience shopping with Funky Felines. They did literally everything right - super efficient processing of my order, wonderful, friendly communication to keep me up to date followed by the quickest dispatch and delivery.  Thanks Funky Felines for the fab customer service - I will definitely be back!

My 6 month old kitten was desperate to go outside but there was no way I was letting him out without a collar and unfortunately there also was no way he was wearing one, devoting every waking hour to removing collar after collar in a war of attrition that he was convinced he was going to win.  

And so it came to pass that we found ourselves locked in an unhappy kitty stalemate. 😾

Finally after googling “collars for cats that hate collars” I stumbled across Beastie Bands and, after reading all the positive reviews on Funky Felines, ordered some pronto.  The result is absolutely amazing; far from doing the normal head shaking, scratching and pawing routine that he has developed to remove every other collar, my little man doesn’t even seem to have realised he is wearing one - I am truly gobsmacked and totally impressed!  

I would definitely recommend this product for any cat not only do they they look fantastic (love the prints!) but they are also really well designed with strong Velcro to keep it on but enough give in the band that if your cat gets stuck on something they could escape. Judging by my kitten’s reaction they are also so lightweight and comfy that even a collar hater will tolerate one... and all for a very reasonable price too.

If you’re wondering whether to give a Beastie Band a try, don’t even hesitate, you really won’t regret it!”  Emma

Review: “I am reviewing ‘beastie band’ for cats.  This is my 3rd purchase from this lovely little company and I can’t recommend them enough. The product is the best on the market for cats. My cat would never wear a collar; however beastie band is different. It fits to size and the moggie who’s wearing it has absolutely no objections as it’s so comfortable.

I am so pleased I found funky felines. Their customer service is 5 stars ⭐️ Thank you from me and Alfie cat.”  Claire

Review: “Beastie Bands.  5 out of 5

These are the BEST collars available. All three of ours wear them and are not allowed out of the house without doing so. The collars carry a locator radio tag, an identification disc and a small bell. All our neighbours know if they see a black and white cat with a pink collar then it is one of ours.”  Tony

Review “Great service and quick delivery. I bought the Beastie band collars for my cats They are great quality and easy to cut to size . Would definitely recommend to other people. I would rate Funky felines as 5 out of 5.”  Anita



Date: 18 November 2018

Review: “Fantastic collars. We use them for our cats fitted with GPS trackers / Bluetooth trackers. As other reviews say the velcro does become weak over time but that is to be expected. A couple of times when the cats have got them snagged jumping through fences they have come off (found as have trackers) which is exactly what they should do so as safe as a collar can be.

Just one note - be sure to fit them quite snugly round the cat's neck. Once I had fitted one too loosely and the cat's front paw had gone through it when jumping and he came home still like that ie. it hadn't come off. He was fine as he hadn't been like that for long and wasn't really bothered but just to let other users know not to make this mistake.

Overall excellent - fantastic service from funky felines and best price by far.  Iain

Review: “Fantastic service, very quick postage!  I use these for the GPS on my cats.  They give me confidence that they fit great, my cats are not bothered by them and if they did get into a tricky situation they would not be hampered by them.  And I love the range of colour and design options!  Heather


Date: 28 September 2018

Review: “I would rate these as 5. My 2 cats have gps trackers attached to their Beastie Bands and they fit perfectly. I have one small cat and one large cat and the collars are easily cut to size and fit both of them perfectly. They come off easily if they get stuck anywhere - as we well know after finding the collars up tress and in the middle of hedges so they’re very safe. Delivery is excellent and really quick.  Christine


Date: 21 September 2018

Review: “I have a tracker for my cat and the Beastie Band collars are the only ones that it can fit to perfectly and are nice and soft and will come off in an emergency.

Because I take it on and off daily and it has the weight of the tracker, the Velcro hooks do become weaker, so I have to replace the collar a couple of times a year but a small price to pay.”  Nicky

Review: “My young cat only recently started going outside and hated the cheap collar I got at first, she was always scratching at it. The beastie band doesn’t seem to bother her nearly as much probably because it is so light. I take the collar off when she is inside for the night and the velcro is much easier to manage than a buckle.” Ruth

Review: “Excellent collar especially for cats who don't like wearing collars. My cats were actually ok with collars of any kind but the Beastie bands are the only ones we can use with pawtrax tracking device. They are comfortable and stretchy they hardly notice they are on. One of my cats did come home one day having put his front paw through it and it hadn't come off which was a bit scary. This was my fault though as I'd put it on too loosely and he obviously got his paw in it when jumping through a fence. So make sure you fit them quite snugly.

Funky felines is by far the best pace to buy these. They are available on Amazon and ebay at twice the price and extortionate postage from USA ! Excellent price and service here I always come back to buy more.”  Iain

Review: “These soft but strong, Velcro fixing not buckle or clip are the best I've used. Highly recommended by a friend who has used them for years.  My two manage to loose buckle types and chew to bits buckle collars. I've sent a message to the manufacturer direct as I'd love to see different designs including plain colours.  As I've had so many and I don't want an alligator design on my cat. A lighter colour in plain would be good so I can write my phone number on would be good. No manufacturer does that... a gap in the market?

And for anyone reading, yes the Velcro fastening does stay put for all but cat emergencies ie escape.  Please don't stop making them, they are unique!!!”  Susan

Kit never loses her collars but she looked adorable in her piano key Beastie Band and drew lots of admiring comments. They are much easier to put on than conventional snap or buckle collars, I imagine they're a lot more comfortable for the cat and the designs are fab. I'm a convert.” Alex

Review: “My cats were losing their collars at a rate of one per week, sometimes even the very day a new one was put on. I've tried every different type of safety collar. My cats are boisterous and adventurous, always getting into mischief. Beastie bands are literally the only collars that stay put. They are obviously comfortable, one of the cats detests having collars put on and he doesn't mind these. They do cost slightly more than a lot of other collars, but if you are wasting money at the rate I was on other types of collars, they are well worth it, as they really do stay on and are much safer than other styles. I generally only have to replace these when they get worn and tatty looking through natural wear and tear. Seriously good, totally recommended!” Ruth

Review: “My young cat Charlie is a ruthless assassin and after several complaints from the neighbours I decided that he needed a bell to warn the local bird population (including chickens and pheasants) of his approach.  He escapes from normal cat collars in seconds and his harness made me nervous because of the risk of snagging.  After a lot of research I found these wonderful Beastie Bands which he has not yet managed to lose!  They are very light and soft so he doesn't seem to mind wearing them (although he is not keen on the extra loud bell that I have attached) and being made of neoprene they are very stretchy so if he was to get snagged in a tree he would be able to wiggle free.  5 stars also to Kate and Chris for their website and great customer service!”  Emma

Review: “I use these collars with my cats' PetTrax Halo trackers. They are secure and comfortable and easy to take off and put on and adjust. I was concerned the cats would be able to pull them off but they never have. They are stretchy enough though to mean that if they are caught somewhere the at can escape. They needed replacing after a few months as eventually the fuzzy side of the velcro fastening becomes less effective.“  Greg

Review: “These cat collars are excellent, being completely safe if a cat gets the collar caught on branches etc, as the velcro simply pulls apart, and so avoids causing some quite horrific injuries to the torn "armpit" underneath.”  Margaret

Review: “This is the best collar I have used on any of my cats, ever!  It is comfortable (my cat scratched and chewed off at least 10 previous collars of different varieties) and because it doesn't bother him it doesn't go missing (like all the others did!)

I Just bought another two bands.  I've tried them all and this one is the hands down winner.  Buy it!  You won't regret it.”  Nicole

Review: “Had first Beastie band as a gift from the USA and was delighted to find UK stockists Funky Felines. Always prompt and efficient service. The collars look very smart and are easy to tailor to size. The easy release of the collars are a good safety feature for cats that like to climb trees.”

Review: “These collars are the best available. Fact! I have five cats who were always losing previous collars and tags which was annoying and expensive. These great collars have NEVER become lost in the two years I've been using them, they do not become scruffy for ages and therefore I only change them to suit me. I would highly recommend them along with the efficient service from Funky Felines.”  Jo

Review: “As someone who has unwittingly become a serial purchaser of cat paraphernalia, I heartily recommend the "Beastie Band" collar over other brands. The Beastie Band is the only brand my capricious beasts of pets will tolerate (they've managed to extricate themselves from all other kinds I've tried). Also, as we know, cat collars are products with no direct human appeal or advantage - but with this fun customisable selection of colours, designs, catchy slogans ("cool cat"!) and clip art (fish! mice!) the makers of the Beastie Band have found a way you can get something out of this purchase too. Overall: sublime product. Worthy of God's cat if He had one.”  Rosemary

Review: “Good, fast, efficient service from Funky Felines and having used them before would be sure to do so again - highly recommend them. The Beastie Bands cat collars are the best I've yet found, adjustable, comfortable for the cats to wear and they don't slip off easily as per other brands. My tom cat would go through a collar every few days, but his Beastie Band stays on no problem at all, while the soft fabric material means it's comfortable for the cats too. Being slightly elasticated means in a dangerous situation the collar would come off without suffocation. Perfect.”  Vanessa

Review: “I personally would rate these collars even better then 'very good' ! I've spent plenty of time and money on various other styles of cat collars, always being disappointed with their ability to stay on my 5 cats! Beastie bands are 100% value for money, my cats never appear to be uncomfortable wearing them, they have never lost them yet and the crazy designs available are fantastic and ensure that they stand out from the all the neighbours! I've just ordered Christmas collars for my feline family and look forward to decorating them.”  Jo

Review: “Beastie Bands are the best collars we have ever bought for our cat. They are lightweight, long lasting and stretch so there is no risk our cat will get snagged up somewhere as the band will slip off if caught up. We also cannot recommend Funky Felines as a company highly enough. Their communication was excellent and customer service faultless. It is so rare to experience top class customer service these days, especially when not spending a lot of money. We will definitely be buying from them again.”  Wayne

Pros - soft on cats necks; will detach if caught; v quick and easy to put on cat; will fit any cat

Review: “Best cat collars ever. Once you have tried them there is no turning back. The big selling point for me is that our cats are safe as they are elastic and your cat would never get trapped with them. You might lose the odd collar but at this price who cares? It might happen once a year or so and you also want to replace them every six to 8 months when they start to look a bit scruffy.


Our cats love them and wear them with pride and they look very cute with them.


We will always buy them again. I would recommend to get at least 2 just in case your cat messes with it in the beginning and loses it in neighbours garden :) But they really stay on the longest.”  Sabine

The collars are great quality and very hard wearing the Velcro fastening keeps the collar on for much longer than a standard collar (my cat is really clumsy and looses his a lot) the beastie bands I have dog d stay on the longest.

Product: Petstages Puppy Cuddle Pal

Rating: 5

Recommend to a friend: Yes

Review: “I bought one for our Collie pup, when she was settling in with us. Cuddle Pal is a strange beast but she loves it and we play with "Moley" every evening. It has enough weight to be thrown around the house without causing damage and can be hidden in crevices and under furniture to be rediscovered.

The head can become unstitched, after several months in our case, but the filling is separate from the body and the head can be removed completely. After removing the wheatbag the Pal can be washed easily and regularly. Once the Velcro loses its sticking power its time to buy a replacement. We are on Moley 3 (1 per year) and have backups waiting to step in. We microwaved a few  times early on, but he is loved equally at room temperature.

Sold at a good price with fast delivery. Excellent.  Paul

Review: “I first bought one of these toys in the States several years ago, and successive cats have loved it, played with it for hours, and destroyed several of its ends! So, it's great that you can now buy them in the UK - and even better that you can buy the replacement tie-on attachment as well! The ends do last quite a long time, but enthusiastic cats ultimately destroy them. I think it's the best cat toy I have ever bought, because the cats don't get bored with it and will always play with it. Well worth the money!”  Ruth

Review:  “Thank you so much for these wonderful Yeowww pillows they arrived very quickly and were VERY good value. I have two house cats, Noire and Shadow, and they adore the pillows. They have one each and will play, tossing and then lying on them, before tossing them around the house again. They certainly get their exercise this way, as they enjoy playing hide and seek and detect their whereabouts by smell from the various hiding places. Once found they lie and sleep on them very contented as they love the catnip. A fabulous toy for my cats.”  Cindy

Review: “Cosmic catnip is the only kind of catnip that my cat reacts to and he absolutely loves it. Pets at Home only do one shaped toy (very dull brown "cigar") so I was thrilled to find a bigger range here. He loved the delivery and shredded the packaging to get to his new chill pepper and fish, but unfortunately within days he ripped them open and we have powdered catnip scattered everywhere. So I love the products, but wish they'd make the stitching stronger... But I will still re-buy as it's such fun watching him go crazy with them and them collapse in a drunken stupor!”  Felicity
