I don't like collars - part 1

A few months back, Mochi was terribly resistant to collars. We caught him chewing a few times, which wasn't so bad. Then we started coming home from work to find our poor little guy with his collar stuck in his mouth. It seemed like he had been stuck that way for a while since his neck would be wet from drool. :(

So then we removed his collar before leaving the house, and putting it back on when we got home. Tracy got tired of this after about a week, so we started to leave the collar on all day again. His "gagging" sessions seemed to taper off, so we thought he was settling down. And then we came home to this:



A few points, in case the picture isn't clear.

1. He managed to chew through his collar in more than one place.
2. Possibly purposely, the collar's remains were left on one of his indoor potty pads.
   

Score:
Mochi/Butthead: 2.5 (two because he ended up chewing through two collars. Add 0.5 because when we picked him up from the shelter, he was missing the collar that we put on him the week before. We suspect, but can't prove, that he chewed through that one as well)
Collar: 0
