Just brought my little baby boy from getting neutered. I wish this was told to me as an option besides those awful hard plastic cones. So glad this appeared on my algorithm! Much 💖

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Thanks so much for your comment ❤️ I hope your baby boy had a speedy recovery! I wish these soft cones were more widespread, they are definitely comfier for fur babies 😊

[@karenreed6544]

They sell them on Amazon but I made them for a lot less. I love this video

[@karenreed6544]

I'm making a bunch for a Cat Sanctuary in my town .😊

[@MarysMakesandMends]

That’s so sweet!! ❤

[@karenreed6544]

I made 8 of them. Thank you so much for this video

[@user-cu5jj9ct3h]

Very nice.....my kittens will natured soon...these are alot nicer than a plastic cone. Beautiful work.❤

This is exactly what my puppy needs after her spay!

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Awww I’m so glad! You’ll have to let me know how she likes it! 🥰❤️

[@Bugg...0_o]

Great video and easy to understand, this is just what I needed! I had to make one out of the softer pool noodles with a string (or large collar) through the middle but she isn't happy with it. I think that will be be more comfortable if I can pull it off. Unfortunately I don't have a sewing machine (and it wouldn't do me much good if I did, lol. I always tangle them up!) so I'll have to do it by hand.

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it so helpful! 🥰 Honestly I think this would be a fairly easy project to do by hand, it doesn't have to be pretty, just functional! Let me know how it works out!

Best tutorial for this type of stuffed pet collar I've seen! Just what I've been looking for. Does this keep Fern from scratching her neck with her back feet??? This is what I need for my Lilu. Thank you! 😻

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I didn’t have any issues with Fern being able to scratch her neck at all, as long as you make the donut wide enough. I hope you make one for your Lilu!! 😊

My family cat Ladybug got fleas. she’s indoor but my sibling was visiting with their cat and he goes on leashed walks. she is getting bald spots from itching, and licking, she’s a bit of a clean freak so I think the flea dust bothers her. she is almost done with treatment but I wanted her to stop licking/ itching for a little to heal and this tutorial was super helpful in making her a quick collar that wasn’t the paper plate method

[@MarysMakesandMends]

So glad it has helped you and little Ladybug!! 🥰

Hello! I’d like to make one of these for my cat, he has a hotspot on his shoulder and really didn’t like the plastic cone. I’m just wondering what’s the diameter of the collar? Thanks!

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Hi there! Thanks for watching 😊 the diameter for mine was about 12 inches or 30 cm! Hope this helps!

[@jbrose40]

@@MarysMakesandMends awesome, thanks!

[@aariffah7589]

Does it prevent the cat from reaching his back leg? Our Teddie has an injury and he somehow managed to reach the hind legs with plastic cone on by bending fully. Would this prevent him reaching the back legs?

[@MarysMakesandMends]

If you increase the radius of the donut I think it would make sure Teddy doesn’t reach his back legs, so make sure the donut is wide enough that he couldn’t get past it with his snout 😊 Fern wasn’t able to reach back there with hers on, but of course a dog may have a bigger snout!

[@anarosaamador4395]

Porque el video sale como en caricaturas?

[@lienbijs1205]

Here in the Netherlands you borrow a recovery suit from the vet, it looks like a baby onesie.

[@MarysMakesandMends]

That’s great! 😊

[@ryooli2056]

Hola! Tu video me parecio muy bueno! Queria saber si este tipo de diseño funciona para que mi gato no se rasce tanto en un cachete que lo tiene herido, muchas gracias :)

[@MarysMakesandMends]

¡Hola! Creo que debería funcionar para que tu gato no se rasque la mejilla, el mío no tuvo ningún problema :) ¡Espero que esto ayude!

[@ginasolomko417]

Would like to have the measurements for each piece.

[@MarysMakesandMends]

The diameter of the donut was 12 inches (30cm), the inner hole will depend on the neck size 😊 hope this helps!

[@ginasolomko417]

Thank you so very much. I ended up making the one for our kitty 14”. He’s a big boy. When we took the cone off of him and replaced it with the donut he was so relieved and grateful. His whole body visibly relaxed and he was finally able to lie down and sleep peacefully. We’re hoping to be able to remove it tomorrow after his vet visit, but I’m not sure that he isn’t going to miss his comfy pillow. 😁 Happy holidays and take care, Gina Solomko

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Awwww that makes me so happy! I’m so glad he liked it! Happy Holidays!! 😊

My girlfriend just got surgery. Is this applicable to humans too?

I think you mean fiancée, and I wouldn’t recommend it because I’m really looking forward to your wedding!!!!

[@shamaliperera78]

Hi. May i know what's that stuffing you used?😊

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Hi there! The stuffing I used was quilt batting that I cut into small pieces, but any lightweight stuffing will work for this! Hope that helps 😊

[@shamaliperera78]

@@MarysMakesandMends hello! Thank you for quick and helpful response🥰. I have 2 cats so i'm gonna make 2 donuts😊

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Of course! I hope they help your cats! 🥰

[@karenreed6544]

What size was rectangle piece

[@MarysMakesandMends]

Mine was 3.5x12 inches, it will depend a bit on the cat’s neck (my cats neck measurement was 12 inches). Hope that helps! 😊

se ve muy practico, lastimo que el video avanza demas de rapido y la traduccion tambien

Puede cambiar la velocidad del video si presiona el engranaje de configuración en la esquina del video y luego selecciona la velocidad de reproducción. Espero que esto ayude, gracias por ver! 😊

Para que lo anuncias en espñol si el vodeo esta inglés,😡

Lo siento, no estoy seguro. El video tiene subtítulos que puede ser por eso. ¡Gracias por ver!

[@Abcdefghijk920]

Kind of wish this wasn’t sped up. Not really helpful if it’s done too fast

[@MarysMakesandMends]

You can change the playback speed in the video settings, hope this helps 😊

[@feralkat9370]

I actually sped it up to 1.25, as I do most tutorials or recipes. Bothering the YTer with speed issues when its right there for u to change to yr language specs is kinda a time-waster, esp as it's helpful free advice. 🤦
