My cat had neck surgery, can't wear a cone. What are alternatives?

Question

My cat has just had neck surgery and can't wear an e-collar, because of where the incision was made. Our vet said to us that we need to come up with an alternative. We have put a tuba grip on her, but she is not happy with it. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Unfortunately, most cats hate anything that we put on them. What you have fashioned looks like the perfect solution. As long as Tuppence allow it to stay in place, I think that is likely going to be your best solution. I wish I had a better solution for you, but I think you did a great job. Now we just have to convince Tuppence that it is for her own good. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
