My spayed cat keeps getting out of her cone and vest. What to do?

Question

We had our 5 year old cat spayed today and she kept taking her cone off so we bought her a vest, but everytime we leave the room she somehow manages to get out of it! What shall I do? She isn't biting the stitches, just cleaning them then leaving them alone. Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old | 9.9 lbs

You could try a baby/infant t-shirt to see if this will prevent her from getting to the stitches. You may also consider one of the inflatable collars that are more comfortable but still prevent them from licking incisions on their abdomen. You can usually find these are your local Petco or pet store. I hope this helps!
