It is not true that all cats dislike collars.  Some do, some don't.
However, any cat with a collar should wear a collar that can expand
if it gets caught while the cat is being cat-like, e.g. climbing
a tree, crawling around in a small space, etc.  There are leather
collars available with a piece of elastic sewn in just for this
purpose.

One of my cat books suggests this for an ID for a cat:  an collar
made out of regular white elastic, sewn together to form a circle.
Write the appropriate info with permanent ink on the collar.
It may not be as annoying as a regular collar and tags to cats
who don't like collars.

Here in Multnomah County, Oregon, cats are required to be licensed.
I don't know if they have to wear the tag the county sends out
(my cat always did).
