Not sure of brand of collar, can't remember... Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 years and 11 months old | 6 lbs

I would recommend only using one. I prefer topical over collars since not all collars work. There are plenty of topical medications for cats that help prevent fleas and ticks. Some topical you can apply monthly while others like Bravecto can be applied once every 3 months. Without knowing what type of collar and which fipronil product you are using I wouldn't use them together. I would also wait 48 hours before and after a bath before putting topical medication on.
