Did everyone who had their cat's teeth extracted (all of them) require a cat cone following the surgery and it has to stay on for two weeks. Cat hates and has gotten off several times. Very hard to get back on. I am worried he will damage stitches or whatever and he will suffer terribly and I will suffer financially. Any suggestions? I have the soft cone now and I can turn it back so he can eat but he wants to scratch me because I try to put it back up where he cannot see out or be comfortable. He never liked any kind of collar and is an indoor cat (mostly) with a few trips outside with me with him and he used to get grass. Guess he won't need that trip anymore, or won't be able to bite grass.
