Color, size and quality are as expected.  Our 9 month old kitten was bothered by it for about 15 minutes, and now only scratches it occasionally. We removed the bell and added an engraved slip on name tag so there is nothing dangling. The only way that Ive been able to unbuckle the collar is to pull firmly and cause it to break away. We have not adjusted the tension on the clasp.  The clasp on the loosest setting and the collar is not snug around her neck, but she has not escaped. We have the option to tighten the collar to only allow two fingers as suggested by the manufacturer, but it seems fine as is and the cat is comfortable with it.
