I get worried about the collar sometimes but I can easily fit 3 fingers between it and her neck and my hands are pretty big, so she has plenty of room to breathe. I'm not going to take her collar off indoors until I get her more used to my place (so I can find her; she's hiding a lot less even after a couple of days) and I'm planning on trying to walk her around outside on a harness and leash in a couple months. So just in case I or some visitor has a brain fart leaving a door open for too long and she gets out, there's some hope that she won't vanish forever.

Is it a breakaway collar? I always use breakaways for my cats. One morning, one of them was strutting around naked (what I call it when they're not wearing collars). After some searching, I found his collar stuck in the wire racks of my pantry (which he regularly pries open because the door is broken). Now, I don't know for a fact that it would have strangled him had it not been a breakaway collar, but I don't like to take the chance. The collars are pretty good about staying on as long as they're not snagged (which is by design) but my old cat slammed into a closed door (in a desperate attempt to escape bath time) so hard once that his collar popped right off.
