Would an Elizabethan collar do?

This is DD's cat (Cleo) modelling one:

Cleo looks happy in hers. The soft collar seems to be ok at the moment. He only has to wear it for about a week. I think the meltdown is being caused by not being allowed to go out in it. The vet said he’d not be as agile whilst wearing it so I’m concerned about him crossing the roads. He’s such an outdoor cat. He loves the freedom so he’s not taking it well 🐈‍⬛

TheShellBeach you asked my cats' names....

Ginger - The GingerNut aka Ruby, elderly lady whom the boys worship
Black - Delilah, elderly lady of whom the boys are scared; she doesn't like any non-humans and is touchy about them,grumpy solo (and, don't tell, my favourite, I adore her)
B&Ws - the two boys are Mabon and Harvest aka Bonbon and Harvey. Harvey is naughty and Bon is laid back.

Jux · 16/04/2024 14:40

Sorry I've not been around. I've been very very ill and can only manage online activity in short bursts. Recovering though. Helped by the Delightful Delilah vomming on the end of my bed at about 3.30 this morning. Who wouldn't be grateful for that offering?

TheShellBeach · 16/04/2024 15:10

Ugh @Jux I hate it when they throw up on the bed.

There is no alarm sound more effective than that of your cat barfing on your bed in the morning. Don't care how deeply asleep you are - that shit would wake you if you were dead 😂

@Minesril is that the shark squishmallow bed?

LostCats · 16/04/2024 18:17

Rum, I’m dying to know - did Fred get any cake?

TheShellBeach · 16/04/2024 18:25

Oh BTW thanks to this thread, I've ordered a small packet of Scrumbles.

I just hope Linney is grateful.

Picard will eat it if he doesn't.

Cheddar used to start grinding her teeth before she did that. So at least I had time to wake up and chuck her off. 🤣 my bed was her favourite puking spot. I'm glad that my new duvet will stay clean now.

Nope. I still can't work out what the daft bugger wanted. He's usually a fairly quiet cat so it's funny when he starts stomping about shouting. I would say he probably wouldn't like it but Toad is partial to coffee cake and Vixen likes chocolate cake so who knows!
I am very proud of myself though. Once the cake cooled, I cut it into slow cea, bagged them up, and put them in the freezer. No devouring a whole cake in one go 😁

Penelope's buster collar reminds me of a flotation device. She's such a cutie.

Minesril · 16/04/2024 22:40

RumNotRun · 16/04/2024 18:15

@Minesril is that the shark squishmallow bed?

Yes it is! He also has an igloo which he ignores as well (unless it's got a dreamie hidden inside).

RumNotRun · 16/04/2024 23:00

I bought the squishmallow bed for Frederick cause he loves a plushie pillow I have. He slept in it twice. Lexter used it for about a week and since then it's been lying abandoned 😞 It's so soft, if I could fit then I'd happily sleep in it. I don't understand why none of them like it, obviously apart from the fact that they are cats and therefore being contrary is their whole purpose in life.

Minesril · 17/04/2024 05:59

The human four year old actually can fit in it, and the nine year old (who is the reason we bought it, he has hundreds of squishmallow plushes on his bed) has a very good try!

LostCats · 17/04/2024 09:25

See now you lot are terrible as DD is squishmallow mad and I see they do a ‘large’ shark squish bed. Now wondering if I could get that for her 🤣

It lasted about five minutes. It was too big and she got her foot stuck in it!

Breadcat24 · 17/04/2024 19:48

Does anyone else find that Sheba Fresh and Fine makes their cat fart like a trooper?
Breadcat likes it but I am limiting her to one pouch of this then other wet food as she has become a pungent puss. Especially when jumping on to the sofa, or greeting me with her rear end in my face and tail aloft like a banner.

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 17/04/2024 20:04

Buster collar ordered. Arrives tomoz x
Correction: it’s the yellow one like Cleo is sporting
