Scared of the cone

My cat recently had a neuter and I just bought a cone because he's constantly licking, I also bought some feliway because I'm going home for Christmas and he's not a fan of car rides, I was wondering if spraying his cone with feliway would be okay? He absolutely loves the smell as I tested it out on his blanket and I thought maybe he'd be less stressed if I put it on his cone as well. I'm not familiar with the product and was hoping it would be safe to do so considering the cone is always in his face.

Honestly, there is no harm at all to a cat licking themselves after a neuter.

It's natural for them to want to get rid of that vet smell and unless he starts chewing at his stitch, which is HIGHLY unlikely for a male, then I wouldn't cone him at all.

Just adds more stress into the mix.

You can spray his blankie with feliway a bit.

I was actually told not to use a bitter spray. He doesn't have stitches, the incison is open for healing. The cone was the only option.

Different veterinarians say different things, that's for sure. Went through a lot of Bitter Apple with Sylvia Rose. I sure miss Veritone, though, because it worked a lot better.
