My cat hated Elizabethan collars and got stuck in places with them frequently, but after switching to a donut collar he became a lot more comfortable.

Sounds like I should give the donut a shot
My friend used one for her cat, and it had the added bonus of making him look ridiculous. He didn’t seem to mind it though.
He looks handsome for an elderly goblin!
Most definitely!
He looks ridiculous even without a cone.
Rachel of Rachel & Jun made some for her cats. Her DIY stuff tends to be more helpful than most IMO since it's not just "I made this thing" but "here's all the crap that went wrong while I was making this thing". https://youtube.com/watch?v=Me587OYbyRk&t=215
Oh, useful! I'll have to check her out
Have you tried the small inflatable ones?
That was going to be my next thing to buy if the current one fails. They have no trouble getting to food and water with the ones you've used? Do you remember the brand?
I don't know the brand. My mom got it from a neighbor - she thought it was a cat lifejacket. 🤣🤣 We used it when one had an infected bite on her leg after a bad fight with her adopted sister. It was only for a few days, but i dint remember her having issues.
Lmao I guess in a sense it's like a lifejacket?
I remember trying a home made cardboard one that worked pretty well. Make it just big enough for him to stop messing with it.
I found this link with some suggestions while trying to find a picture or video https://pangovet.com/pet-lifestyle/cats/diy-cat-cone-collars/ they make a paper plate one which is the same idea. Might be a good place for inspiration.
Oh, those look really cool! Thanks for the link!
