Do you have these concerns?

"A hard Elizabethan collar is so cruel..."

"My cat is still small, so a heavy one won't work..."

"My cat gets startled when bumping into furniture..."

During post-surgery care or skin conditions, cats may scratch their wounds or lick topical medications, making it difficult for them to heal. An Elizabethan collar can help in such situations. However, traditional plastic Elizabethan collars are hard and heavy, which can cause concern for the cat's burden... Many cats dislike them, try to remove them, or become frozen and unable to move.

■Licking the affected area can worsen it

Cats cannot help but be bothered by post-surgical wounds and skin problems. Licking or scratching the affected area can worsen the condition. An Elizabethan collar can help in such situations. It is very useful in the initial stages of treatment as it prevents the cat's mouth from reaching the gauze or bandages.

■Lightweight design for minimal burden, a cat-friendly Elizabethan collar

■Available in a type that obscures the wound and a type with good visibility

The type that obscures the wound is lightweight and designed to keep the affected area out of sight. This prevents excessive grooming due to concern for the wound. The type with good visibility does not obstruct the cat's vision, allowing them to move without stress.

■How to accustom your cat to an Elizabethan collar

When your cat wears an Elizabethan collar for the first time, don't force it; accustom them to it gradually, starting with short periods.
Start with a few minutes, up to about 10 minutes, and if they strongly dislike it, remove it immediately.
Accustom them slowly and patiently over several days.
Using it in conjunction with a cat protection suit is also effective.

■Things to keep in mind when your cat wears an Elizabethan collar

When your cat is wearing an Elizabethan collar, they will need support for their daily life.

● Eating support
Since the Elizabethan collar can obstruct access to food and water, provide a raised bowl.

● Litter box support
If you have a hooded litter box, it may be difficult for them to enter, so remove the hood to prevent bumping.

● Walking and exercise support
Remove as many obstacles as possible, such as furniture and decorative items.
Also, it's necessary to make arrangements to prevent them from climbing high places.

● Grooming support
Since cats cannot groom themselves when wearing an Elizabethan collar, groom them frequently. Use a warm towel to wipe their ears and hindquarters.
