And Arthur has already escaped the cone

I finally found it behind the couch. Then I chased him around the house, for about 5 minutes, before I could get it back on. I know he's miserable but, hopefully, stopping him from licking will help the swelling and redness subside.

This weekend is going to feel like it is a month long.

We had the old opaque cones & upgraded to the see-thru cones & things went much better!

He seems to be settling in a little better. Make that a tiny bit better.

Hopefully he won't have to wear it for long, after the procedure.

We added canned pumpkin to her diet along with 1/4 teaspoon of Mirolax every day & never had that issue again.

Good luck with your kitty!
