Are collars safe for indoor cats, especially a very small kitten?

Question

I have 3 cats they stay inside and only go out to go to the vet. 1 is a small kitten 2 are 5 yr old adults they have periodically shown interest in going outside but I have had no real issues with any of them trying to escape. The kitten I got from the APL was microchipped when I got her the other 2 are not. ( very expensive) I'm wondering if I should get them collars? 1 cat I know won't want it the kitten is so small even for her age vet said she was tiny I worry would collars be unsafe?

You can buy them collars, if you do buy the safe release collars, these collars will automatically open if your cat get stuck with the collars somewhere. many cats will lose their collars almost immediately but you cannot predict that in advance, you have to try it.
