Do you have these concerns?
"A hard Elizabethan collar seems so cruel..."
"My cat is still small, so a heavy one won't work..."
"It bumps into furniture and scares my cat..."
After surgery or in cases of skin disease, cats may scratch their wounds or lick off ointments, which can hinder healing. An Elizabethan collar can be helpful in such situations. However, traditional plastic Elizabethan collars are hard and heavy, raising concerns about the burden on cats. Many cats dislike them and try to remove them, or become frozen and unable to move.
■Licking the affected area can worsen it
Wounds after surgery or affected areas with skin problems are often irresistible to cats. Licking or scratching the area can worsen the condition. An Elizabethan collar can be helpful in such cases. When bandages or dressings are applied, the collar prevents the cat from reaching the area, making it very useful in the early stages of treatment.
■Lightweight design for minimal burden, a cat-friendly Elizabethan collar
Poponeko's Elizabethan collars are lightweight and soft. Weighing only 26 grams*, they minimize the burden on sensitive cats. *Weight of S size.
■Available in a type that obscures the wound and a clear-view type
The type that obscures the wound is lightweight and designed so the cat cannot see the affected area. This prevents the cat from grooming excessively due to bothering the wound. The clear-view type does not obstruct vision, allowing for stress-free movement.

■Care instructions
To prevent the growth of germs and parasites that can cause skin and fur problems and to keep the skin clean, it can be washed at home. Hand wash or, if using a washing machine, place it in a laundry net and use the "hand wash cycle." Hand washing will significantly extend its lifespan. For drying, smooth out wrinkles and air dry in the shade.
■How to get your cat used to an Elizabethan collar
When wearing an Elizabethan collar for the first time, do not force it; allow your cat to get used to it gradually, starting with short periods. Start with a few minutes to about 10 minutes, and if your cat strongly resists, remove it immediately. Take your time over several days to slowly accustom your cat to it.
Skin protective clothing can also be used effectively in conjunction.
■Things to keep in mind when your cat wears an Elizabethan collar
When your cat is wearing an Elizabethan collar, you need to provide support for their daily life.
●Feeding Support
The Elizabethan collar may make it difficult for your cat to reach food and water, so prepare an elevated bowl.
●Litter Box Support
If you use a hooded litter box, it may be hard for your cat to enter, so remove the hood to prevent bumping.
●Walking/Exercise Support
Remove as many obstacles as possible, such as furniture and ornaments. Also, make arrangements to prevent your cat from climbing to high places.
●Grooming Support
Since your cat cannot groom itself while wearing the Elizabethan collar, groom it frequently. Use a warm, damp towel to wipe its ears and hindquarters.
