What we do though is leave his collar on really loosely, loose enough that he could easily pull it off at anytime, so that it does not rub his fur or irritate his skin. We only tighten it up if we are taking him for a walk, and then we loosen it again. He actually realizes it's HIS collar, so if we take it off, he gets upset!
