Cis forCollar

A collar is a thin strip, usually made of leather, that is worn around the neck. Some collars are made of chain. Pet dogs and some cats usually wear collars all the time as somewhere to attach a nametag and registration disc. Dog collars usually have a loop on them that you can clip a lead to, so you can take your dog for a walk. Cat collars also have the loop, but cats are a lot harder to walk!
