Kitty hates collars

I finally got the cat a collar. Red with reflective stuff on it. I want her to know what's going on outside. Charlie has his misgivings about an "outdoor cat" -- I have had indoor cats that liked an occasional trip out of doors, and that's MY plan. :) But the kitty hated the collar. She is more acclimated to it today, but for the first hour, we just enjoyed her startling at every move that told her something was around her neck.
