Hi I am wondering if anyone has experience with not using a cone after their cat has gotten spayed. I have taken in a stray cat that I'v been taking care of for a while and her spay appointment is on Thursday.. she is an adult cat. She will be in a cat enclosure for a while so will not be running/jumping around . I am more worried about her licking the area and the stitches coming out. I really don't want her to wear a cone because it would add more stress for her, she's already going through a big adjustment and she does not have a ton of room so it would make it very difficult. I know they say its recommended but have any of you not used a cone after spay surgery? Especially for an adult cat. Thank you!
