It is okay for cats to wear collars, just be sure to get the right type and make sure it's adjusted to properly fit. Breakaway collars are considered the only safe style of collars for kitties, as ones that don't break when they get caught on something—like dog collars—can endanger or injure your cat. Choose an adjustable cat collar and tighten it just enough that you can fit two fingers underneath.
An indoor cat should wear a collar if there's a high likelihood that they could escape—in that case, be sure the collar is personalized with your contact info or has your cat's ID tags attached. For indoor cats not likely to escape, a collar may not be necessary, but some people like to put collars on them because they look cute. If your cat doesn't mind it and the collar is comfortable and properly fitted, there's probably no reason your indoor cat shouldn't wear a collar.
A cat can wear a collar all the time, if needed. For indoor/outdoor cats, wearing a collar all the time is a must for identification. Just be sure to get your cat a breakaway collar that's adjusted to properly fit. Be sure to inspect the collar and your cat's neck regularly to look for signs of damage or irritation.
Cats can sleep with a collar on. Just be sure your cat is wearing a collar made for cats—AKA a breakaway collar—and that the collar is well-fitted and comfortable. However, you should avoid leaving novelty collars with things like bow ties or accessories on for too long. These may cause irritation, get caught on things, or have excess fabric or pieces your cat can chew.
