Forget the plastic cone of shame. Most cats hate it, and they can bounce off walls trying to escape it. Instead, invest in a recovery onesie for cats. Yes, that’s a real thing. It’s a stretchy little pajama suit that covers the incision. It’s adorable, and it reminds your cat that its body is currently a no-fly zone.
Surprising fact: cats have a "righting reflex" that lets them land on their feet, but after surgery, that reflex can cause internal organ twisting if they fall wrong. A onesie gently restricts their range of motion enough to prevent Olympic-level twists. Plus, you can laugh at how they walk like a tiny, grumpy toddler in footie pajamas.
