Supet Cat Cone Collar Soft to Stop Licking Scratching, Breathable Comfortable Mesh Recovery Cone for Cats After Surgery Neuter, Lightweight E Cone Collar Alternative (L)

We recently bought our first home (which, honestly, still feels unreal in this economy), and three days later, our new kitten walked in like she owned the place. She hissed at our other two cats and immediately started eating their food—classic kitten behavior, lol. I had ordered this collar for her ahead of time, and while she’s still really young and would’ve probably fit better in a small, the drawstring design means she can grow into it, so I’m not worried. And even if she doesn't fully grow into it by the time of surgery, it still fits well enough that I'm not concerned with her taking it off by accident.I’m a big fan of reading reviews before making a purchase, so there were a couple of things I saw that raised some concerns for me. I wanted to address them here in case anyone else is on the fence.The first concern I saw was about the collar not staying folded outward as it appears in the seller’s photos. This is true—it stays that way until there’s some movement or force applied (like when your pet shakes their head or runs around). However, after trying it on my adult cat, I found that it didn't unroll until she shook out her fur.That being said, I wouldn’t rely on the collar staying perfectly folded out like in the picture. If you’re using it for your cat, I’d recommend keeping an eye on them during feeding times to make sure they can eat without issue. Also, watch their water intake—if they’re struggling to drink, you might need to adjust the setup temporarily.The other concern was the safety of the drawstring design. I get where that’s coming from, and it’s a valid point. If you decide to go with this collar, here’s what worked for me: I kept the drawstring loose and tucked inside the collar before fastening it. After securing the velcro, I gently adjusted the drawstring. Keeping it tucked inside helps prevent snagging. Plus, after surgery, your pet shouldn’t be running around or roughhousing too much anyways (though, you know, kittens do what they want). If you can find a way to limit that however, you’ll reduce the risk of any issues. And of course, measuring your cat’s neck before purchasing is key!Overall, I’m really happy with this collar. It’s well-made, cute, functional, and is fairly priced (currently $18). With the quality of the materials used, I foresee this being the last surgery cone I'll ever need for my fur babies again.Hope this helps with your decision! Good luck and happy shopping! 😊💖I'm one of those people who tend to read reviews (if there are any) before I make a purchase/place an order for anything. Out of everything I read, there were two comments that stuck out the most to me and were causes for concern initially. I am addressing them here so that hopefully there's better clarity.The first comment was that the collar doesn't stay folded outward like it shows in one of the seller's pics. While this is true, the collar does stay that way until some effort/force is put in to unrolling it (or your pet is running around/moving alot - which they shouldn't be doing after surgery anyways). I put my other adult cat into this collar, and it didn't unroll until she shook her coat out (yeah, I know she's weird).All that being said, I wouldn't rely on the collar staying furled out like that. This means that if you are using this collar for your cat, you'll need to supervise feeding times (just to be safe and ensure they're actually able to eat). Additionally, pay attention to water consumption. If they're struggling to drink with this on, you might need to find an alternate water source for them temporarily too.The second comment was in regards to the drawstring design, and was questioning how safe it was (or rather isn't). At the end of the day, this is 100% a valid concern and I would highly recommend you go with whatever you feel comfortable purchasing. If you DO choose to purchase this collar though, my best advice is to keep the drawstring loose and tucked *inside* when you put the collar on them. Secure the velcro and then gently secure the drawstring. By doing it on the inside of the collar, you help mitigate any issues. Additionally, after surgery, your pet shouldn't be running around or rough housing. It does happen occasionally (they just want to have fun after all, lol), but if you're successful with figuring out a way to keep this to a minimum, your chance of any potential snagging issues exponentially decreases. .....Also getting the right size significantly helps! Definitely worth measuring your cat's neck PRIOR to purchasing!😬😅All in all, I think this collar is well made, cute, functional, and decently priced (currently $18). I could see this lasting my family a decent amount of time (longevity wise) and I'm really glad I ordered it!Good luck and happy shopping! 😊💖

This has flocked hearts and is probably the most stylish little protective cone I've ever seen. SO cute and cool! Now I would think it's a rare need to have one except for post surgery or something. But then, you do have pets who have more medical needs, so, this could be nice if they need a cone. It is a firm yet fine plastic mesh, the inner edge has a faux leather trim along it to clean easily. The binding around all the edges is a soft smooth nylon or poly type of feeling material. A lot of this reminds me of foundation garments. I have to say I think its really smart. This mesh is a barrier but is see through and breathable. There is also reflective lines along the stitching of the cone stays. So adds to visibility locating your pet if it gets outside or if you are both just on a walk. And of course to top off this pretty pale pinky beige are tiny black flocked hearts. It ha so many neat qualities. Size wise this has a very adjustable range. I have the medium, and if my large cat would hold still, I think this would fit her 16lb. It's meant for my smaller cat and I'm sure that will work. The smallest size I would use for very young kitten, to young adult. Do measure, but it's got a good aize range with the velcro and adjustable cord lock.

For a traditional shaped cone, this one is effective and easy to fit to your cat. There is a full velcro panel to attach it around their neck and then a drawstring to tighten or loosen the fit on the neck. My cat wore this home from the vet and for the first day after his eye surgery, but then we switched to a more comfortable foam cone. He did not love wearing this, but it was far better than the hard plastic kind you get at the vet. The firm panel stands up, but it’s got some give to it so he could lay down comfortably.

I had a cat that got into a rumble with another good size cat, and unfortunately, the cat required a few days at the vet for surgery and recovery. The vet said that once he came home, he would require 10 days or so with the cone. I ordered 2 cones from Amazon. The first one arrived, and I put it on him to come home. He was really ticked off with that cone. This one came, I took the other off and put this unit on.This one keeps him in check on getting to the stitches. This cone does the trick. It is worth the money to keep from paying more vet fees to resuture the cat.

The kittens are soon going to go to the vet for spaying and neutering and I know with that surgery they really should have a surgical collar for 10 days or so.What I like about this item:* Small enough for a kitten* Has a drawstring to adjust to size* Cute heart design* Easy Velcro application* Keeps the animal from reaching the surgical siteCons:* This is made of thinner material but I am ok with that. It probably wouldn't last very long but I only need it to last for the vet recommended time.Experience: I took this out of package and tried it on the male kitten, it fits well with the Velcro closure and the drawstring at the neck. Works as described.

This collar has a draw string tie around the neck area (adjustable, "for your convenience!") Does it not occur to anyone that all your cat has to do is get that caught on something else, even its own paw, and strangle itself? Particularly when your cat is trying to remove the collar, rubbing against furniture and clawing incessantly. I understand this company isn't the only one using drawstrings at the neckline...still, that doesn't excuse this level of ignorance. Also, for the record, mine wasn't true to size--not that I would use it without first cutting out the drawstring!
