I hope this is the right place to ask

I posted about my cat not long ago who swallowed a hair tie. Well she had surgery yesterday to remove them and we brought her home tonight. My main issue isthe vet didn’t send her home with a cone and since she’s settled down she won’t stop licking it!What can I do to make her stop?

How old is she? Can you get a baby onesie big enough for her? Put her in it and see if that helps.

She’s 1 year old. My hubby and I will buy one tomorrow, that’s a good idea. We are just worried she will pull stitches out during the night 😩

If she's a small one year old, you can try using a paper plate as a cone. Just cut an X in the middle, then cut out the pieces and fit over her head and let it rest on her shoulders.
