Anyone following this idiot's advice deserves the result(s) - which, as-described, could well be a dead cat. But, the cats absolutely do not!
a) The ultimate tensile strength of a T50 staple - the most common heavy-duty (AKA "Work") is 160,000 psi.
b) The slipping point of the OEM Design is about six (6) pounds.
c) The breaking point of the OEM design is about eight (8) pounds.
Material width: 0.030". Thickness: 0.0215". So, do the math. You will get a 103.2 pound tensile strength on the staple. As compared to a six (6) pound slipping point and an eight (8) pound breaking point of the original design.
Draw your own conclusions!

And you know more than the designers of the collar - who also have product liability to consider.
You were an idiot, remain an idiot and will be so forever.
Materials needed... The collar, a collar cutter, a staple, needle/long nose pliers, and a drill.
Also might be a good way to make more collars out of one large collar since you are using a minimal amount of material.
Cut it to size, end-to-end, just touching, no overlap. Good idea to use a prior disposable collar to get the length just right.
Drill a 1/8 inch or less diameter hole, leaving at least 1/8 inches of material at the end (about one half the length of a staple).
Use a staple of choice. I'm using ordinary work staples, sturdier than an office staple. To attach the collar, stick the stable in through the inside of one end of the collar, but the collar around its neck, stick the other side of the stable out through the other side of the collar. Then use the pliers to curl the outer ends of the stable inwards, effectively like stapling the collar from the inside, through the holes.
That's it. It's easy to do and reasonably easy to apply. And it will likely come apart long before choking your cat if it ever happens to get caught on something. Maybe the 1/8 inch worth of collar material will break first. But if not, the staple will easily unravel under pressure.
Bonus tip!
Those little reflectors the collar comes with can be hot melt glued to your bicycle helmet. Neat way to provide great (passive) visibility when cycling at night.

You're the guy who puts a belt around the neck and under one of the fore limbs of his cats to hobble them, aren't you? If you're too broke to use
one flea collar for one cat you shouldn't be allowed to have any cats.
What else do you do? Mix sawdust with their dry food to make it go further?
