I’m sorry, but I imagined the sort of fancy pie crust collars!
The sort of people who carry dogs in handbags ,that might dress up a kitten. Apologies in advance, and I will now go.

Found this on Amazon. Looks easier to wear than the big plastic cones,

Do you mean those big plastic ‘Buster collars’? If so there are smaller blow-up ones available which do the job or as seacliff said babygro-type things. When we had our dog neutered we found the blow-up collar best.

Take them off when you can watch them, very closely!. Mine hate them too. One time the vet supplied a baby gro instead with poppers. We had to undo the bottom bit and she got out of it overnight. A week can be a very long time!

Talk to your vet.

my two kittens got spayed today ,one was straighforward ,the other had an umilical hernia repaired at the same time .Both were sent home with these plastic collars on.
They are not happy girls!
They have difficulty eating and are getting frustrated because they cant clean themselves ,in fact one of them is growling and hissing when we go near.Usually the sweetest natured wee kittens so this is something we haven't had with them before.
Has anyone kept these collars on for the full week as advised or did you take them off for feeding under supervision? I'm a bit scared of leaving them on overnight too as one kitten has almost strangles herself by managing to ease it over one ear and it tightened round her neck .Advice needed as soon as possible please .
