What would you find most appealing on a boy with black hair and beautiful brown eyes. He has a few patches of white, but he is mostly black.
P.S. He hasn't moved in with us yet, because I want my husband to meet him before I saw yes for sure, but my daughter Emma and I getting a list together of things that he will buy for him when it's time.
Thank you for your help.

Neither. They're too poofy.

Are we talking about Zap or someone new?

I liked this collar for him, but I was told that he isn't allowed to wear flowers:

I like this collar as well, but Emma said no to any collar looking like a Persian Rug.

Miss Placentia, I like the blue one best. Besides thinking that the combination of cobalt and black is very elegant, that one has a nice medieval feeling to it, which would fit right in to my opera Guinefort, in case this boy turns out to be interested in music and performing. (He is hereby cordially invited to be a cast member.)
The silver one is dressier with a nice Celtic feel, but if he wore that for everyday, those metallic threads might start to ravel and come undone in a few months, so you'd be looking for a replacement before long.
You are a very smart lady to pick a martingale-style collar. Sighthounds that aren't as polite as me and Irish can pull out of a regular collar in a flash. (Well, we could, too, but then my mom would give us squinty eyes, so we won't.)
I'm so excited. I have a feeling I'm going to have a new best boyfriend before long.

I like the blue also.
I thought Zap had cat issues?
Or do I have my possible candidates confused?

Art (who's deeply smitten with Emma) has cat issues. Zap and Dumpling do not, but hadn't really formed a deep personal connection with the family, at last report.

I like both of these. They are very original, and he won't look like anyone else. I'm very excited for the PSM family!

I'm not Miss Annie, but I suppose since others answered it's OK to give an opinion.
I do like both thinking the silver is for dressing up and going out.
Good luck!

Dude, listen to me! Don't let her put a collar on you! Take it from a squirrel, you never see one of us wearing a collar! Those collars get attached to leashes, and once you're on a leash, you can forget about romping about anymore. You'll be a housedog for the rest of your life like poor Annie and be forever jealous of those of us who enjoy the freedom God gave all four footed creatures.....

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.
