DIY: How to Make a Cat Cone (neuter surgery recovery)

After we neutered Bandit he had to wear a cone to prevent licking and infecting the area.
We saved the cloth one used 7yrs ago when we rescued Naz, but Bandits head was too large. We borrowed a small cone from my sister, she used it on her small dogs. But it was too large for Bandits head.🤦‍♀️
So instead of spending more money, we decided to try making a DIY CAT CONE. We figured that if it didn't work, we could always head out to the pet store.
Here is our video on the process, start to finish. We also included some tips. Enjoy!
Please feel free to share any tips, ideas or questions in the comments.
We give this cat cone 😻😻😻😻 4 out 5 paws up. Bandit took one paw off because he didn't want to wear it anymore by the 3rd day. LOL
***update ****Some folks mentioned that their cat is very adamant about not wearing the paper plate and is able to rip, tear or shred the plate. Here are some other suggestions:
1. Use a plastic plate 2. Use a foam plate. 3. Use a low/wide instant noodle soup bowl
Thank you for your comments and messages. Once we are able to find these items we will post another video showing how to use them to create the cat cone.

HI , i tried this but my cat shreds the whole thing with his rear paw. what do I do?

[@FrolickingFelines]

Hello, I am sorry to hear that your cat is able to shred it with the back paws. You may want to try a different material. You could try a stiffer paper plate or a plastic plate. I've seen others use cut pieces of foam pool noodle on a string. I've also seen folks use paper bowls/wide instant noodle bowls. I hope this helps, and I hope your kitty feels better soon.

I got both my kitties fixed and this was a genius idea. I used hot glue to secure it.
