Cat Cone Collar,Cute Waterproof Cat Recovery Collar,Anti-Bite Lick Wound Healing Safety Elizabethan e Collar for Cats,Purple Flower All-Season Style…

So like most pet owners, I was disheartened to watch my cat freak out and run his head into things when wearing a cone post-surgery. I gave the cone several tries over several days, and my cat just wouldn't take to it. He would wedge his cone somewhere to try to pull it off, which to me looked like it was starting to hurt his neck. He would pace aimlessly and not rest, running his head into things repeatedly, this couldn't be good for a cat post-surgery. I quickly looked for an alternative, and sadly so many alternatives don't work, the donut? Doesn't stop them from licking their behinds. I then saw this flower collar, initially I thought it was just for show, a gimmick. It looked cute but I didn't think it would work. Well I'm glad I gave it a try.Upon putting this on, my cat was relaxed and didn't mind it at all. Immediately he would lay down and rest, which is what they're supposed to do post-surgery. I initially got the Large version, which worked ok when he's resting, but he had difficulties walking around with them. The large is very large, they can't see where they're going and my cat would trip all over. He even stepped on the flower and was able to get his head out of the flower collar by accident. I got the large because well according to their weight chart I was supposed to get large. But let's be honest, cats come in all shapes and sizes, some are longer than others, some are heavier and stockier than others. So I bought the medium to try.My cat weighs 15 lbs, his neck measures 11 inches, and the medium fit him just fine, with plenty of breathing room. I've watched him carefully for a day just to make sure he can't reach his behind with the medium flower collar, and he couldn't. He certainly tried. I was so glad I found this because now I can let my cat relax, heal, and have his wound be completely protected. If you are thinking about getting this flower collar, be sure to take a day off and watch your cat to make sure it works for your cat. Some cats are more flexible and may have a longer body and can reach their behinds even with this collar on. Some cats are just like devil cats where they try to get out of anything you put around their neck.This flower collar may or may not work for you, but it did work for my cat. My cat had a surgery to remove abscess from his anal glands. So I needed something to prevent my cat from being able to lick his butt basically. With this flower collar, he's able to lick the end of his tail and his feet, but not his butt. So again, depending on what your needs are, do observe your cat carefully before you leave them alone with this flower collar. The cone is the worst invention ever, it obscures their peripheral vision, and muffles their hearing, I don't blame any cat for not wanting to have the cone on. You're basically asking a cat to not be a cat for 2 weeks with the cone on, and that's just cruel.Do yourself a favor, check this flower cone out. You may want to try one on your cat before your cat needs a surgery done. You just never know, all cats eventually will likely need some sort of operation done on them. The cone of shame is vet's go-to, you could get your cat used to this flower collar before even needing to use a cone. It will really help your cat relax and rest post-surgery. Just look at this pic of my cat, using the flower collar as a pillow. He is happier with this on, more relaxed, and that in turn makes me happier and less stressed.Yes he's able to wear this and use the litter box just fine. And yes he even climbed up on his 6 feet tall cat tree with this on. He's basically used to it and because he has complete freedom to do everything except lick his stiches, he's totally happy, and he's sleeping very well. We're having a great 2 weeks of healing time post-surgery thanks to this flower collar. Please try this before you settle with the cone of shame, and please do observe your cat carefully as cats are not all built the same.

I'd give this ten stars if I could. I got the purple and the orange and they're basically identical. My cat is a very small boy, only 7 pounds, you'd easily think he was a kitten instead of the 4 year old brat he is. This still fit him, and he seems unable to get it off the way he could the plastic cone from the vet - I think because he can't brace it against anything and pull. He has an injury to his face that he needs to not scratch during healing for the next few weeks, and it has kept him from messing with it. It is also soft, so it is easy for him to sleep on, and it seems a lot safer than having a hard cone on that might rub his neck raw. Definitely worth it, plus he looks cute as heck and he got very mad when we called him a "pretty lil pumpkin boy" and "who's our little flower princess!"Only two drawbacks I see: probably wouldn't fit on a really really fat cat (15+ lbs), and if your cat is the kind that will panic and claw at the collar, the fabric of this does seem like it would get damaged,

We just went through a month of surgeries and complications with our cat and he is nearing the end of this terrible health saga (nearly healed), but I just needed to come on here and praise this cone!!! Through everything our poor cat had to go through, this cone allowed him to eat and drink comfortably on his own and also helped him to get comfortable while he was resting and recovering. It's like a pillow! I also must mention, IT'S WATERPROOF! He dunks it in his food and water bowl while he's drinking and it comes up clean and dry. Whenever his wet food would stick or we'd spill medicine on it, we could just wipe it off with a wet paper towel. It gave my partner and I such a peace of mind that our cat was comfy with this thing and also, he looks so cute in it, this cone really raised our morale when taking care of him! We got the orange one and then yellow one as well as his orange one started to get a little dirty. So now we are switching them off and throwing them in the wash for easy cleaning. It's provided so much levity to this scary month by making our sickly cat look like a little flower in bloom.

This was a lifesaver after my cat had surgery to remove a soft tissue sarcoma. He had an 11” incision and a drain placed afterward. I was given strict orders to not let him lick or mess with incision site and he had a cone placed and was told to keep it on 24/7. He threw himself around and fought with the cone for so long. I was scared he was going to Injure himself or open his sutures. Also he wasn’t able to eat on his own bc of the cone design so I would have to have feeding times when he was used to eating when he wanted to. Not to mention it messing with his peripheral vision and him having to turn his neck In odd ways just to see. He was miserable. Then a friend suggested I try a soft cone and I found this one in my searches. Game changer!!! He can eat and drink on his own and when he wants to. And he can see and have normal range of motion. And the design doubles as a cute lil pillow when he lays down. He is soooo much more comfortable and relaxed which in turn made me relax more. I initially bought a medium due to his weight but one day I saw that if he twisted his body just right he almost was able to reach his incision site as it begins thigh level so I got the large bc the cloth part had a slightly greater width and it was all the difference we needed. Now it’s perfect and I don’t have to worry about him getting to the area!! Love it!! I tighten the string and tie it like shoe laces and he hasn’t been able to get out. Barely has tried I think bc it’s so comfy. So thankful I found this product bc I didn’t know how we were going to make it two weeks with the plastic cone.
