Some accessories are meant to be worn every day and some are meant for an evening, and it is worth being clear which this is. A soft band trimmed with fur balls and hung with a small pumpkin charm is decoration. It looks lovely in photographs, it suits a Halloween party, and it is not the collar your cat or dog should be wearing the rest of the year while unsupervised in the garden.

The band itself is soft rather than structured, which is why it sits comfortably for the short periods it is designed for, and the trims are what give it character: a run of fur balls around the neck and a charm at the throat. The design choices go well beyond pumpkins, taking in witch, skull, pirate and bow versions, so there is scope to match it to whatever the rest of the household is wearing.

• Soft neck band trimmed with fur balls - Small pumpkin charm at the throat - Designs include witch, skull, pirate pumpkin and bow versions - Three sizes, S to L - Wide range of colourways

Worth being straight about. For a cat that means supervised wear only, never left on outdoors or overnight, and if you want a collar your cat can wear unattended, buy one with a stated safety buckle instead. Fur balls and charms are also chewable, so keep an eye on them.

Who it's for: Owners dressing a pet up for an evening or a photograph, who understand this is decoration rather than an everyday collar.
