This is our go-to for cat collars for the past few years. The stretchy fabric ensures that your cat can slip out of the collar should the occasion arise, but it's not going to come off too easily like some. Biggest plus is that it's lightweight so the cat shouldn't feel too much restriction in their movements (some cat collars feel stiff and have rough edges). The reason I do not give it 5 stars as it is REALLY difficult to get the name tag through that darn hole. Given how many of these we've "lost", I'm fairly certain they can escape when the occasion arises, but if you have a cat that roams far and wide, you may want to stick with the easy breakaways to be on the safe side as the Velcro on these holds very well. One of our cats must have tried chewing through his or it tore in a fight as it was just hanging on by a small bit of fabric when he came home one day. We purchase the plastic tags for this collar as the others are defeat the purpose of having such a lightweight collar. I also like the various color choices as I like our pets to have a bit of "style" in their collars. :)
