Testimonial: How the Breakaway Collar Changed Kiss’s Life (and Inspired Miya Cats)

At Miya Cats, it all started with a cat named Kiss. And it’s this true story that inspired us to create a brand of collars that are as beautiful as they are safe. Sometimes, it’s a personal experience that makes you realize how important even the smallest details can be…

Kiss, the Cat Who Explored the Whole Neighborhood

Kiss is curious, sociable, and quite skilled at sneaking into places he shouldn’t be. But one evening, he didn’t come home. That was unusual for him. We started to worry. We searched the neighborhood once, twice, and again… with no luck. Hours turned into days.

In reality, he had gotten stuck in a neighbor’s garage, locked in without anyone knowing. After several days of anxiety, we finally heard his faint meows. That moment was a true wake-up call.

We decided to fit him with a GPS tracker to better follow his adventures, but soon another problem appeared: no collar on the market combined safety, comfort, and style. The classic collars were stiff and uncomfortable, and none were designed to detach in case of danger.

That’s when the idea for Miya Cats was born: to offer breakaway collars for cats that are reliable, stylish, and customizable. And Kiss became our very first ambassador!

Why a Breakaway Collar Makes All the Difference

A breakaway collar is designed to automatically release if your cat gets caught on something. This prevents stressful situations, injuries… or worse.

Here’s what it really changes in daily life:

It stops accidental strangulation from door handles, branches, fences, and more.
It protects curious, adventurous, or just clumsy cats.
It allows you to safely attach a GPS tracker or ID tag.
It gives peace of mind to owners without bothering the cat.
It can be personalized with engraving for quick identification.

And most importantly, a good breakaway collar today isn’t like the old collars. At Miya Cats, our collars are light, soft, adjustable, and made for everyday wear—whether your cat roams outside or stays indoors.

In Short

Kiss’s story isn’t unique. Many cats face similar situations, often without their owners even realizing it. But what is special is being able to act before it’s too late.

That’s why we created Miya Cats, and why we continue designing collars that protect… without ever sacrificing style.
