I don’t see any sort of cone. If she grooms the incision it will very likely get infected and become very complicated.
I’d look for a kitty collar rather than a cone. They’re way more comfortable and still get the job done.
I asked the vet about this, and she said they barely give these out anymore as it's not needed. She followed up with cats being generally smarter than dogs when it comes to not kicking their wounds too much. But will obviously vary from cat to cat.
Ours is just resting and not touching her wound at all, so don't see the need for a cone or collar.
Good for you! I just didn’t want you to go through the unnecessary medical bills and anxiety we did over our apparently uniquely stupid cat.
