Special Care for Cats
Feeding:
Cats need to eat and drink. A plate is better than a deep bowl or cup when wearing a cone. Ensure they can access food easily.
Behavior:
Cats may become anxious. Maintain a regular routine and avoid distractions. Be aware they might knock things over or get stuck in tight spaces. Clear collars reduce stress by improving visibility.
Fitting:
Ensure you can fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and neck. It should not restrict breathing or swallowing.
