Ah Mitzi!

Poor Mitzi- I am sure you feel much better now. I know that I would give up on the collar - Tigris would get crazy by it (you lay a thread of wool on his back and he runs as if the devil was after him) and Filou would be out in no time.
I hope watching is enough....

I'm sorry to hear about Mitzi but I'm glad that she's now on the mend. My cats never liked their e-collars either and I had to wrap the strings around many times to keep it tight or they would be out of it a few minutes. Starr had a fabric one that worked well but he scratched at it so much that he was tearing it up so he ended up having to wear the plastic kind later on. Good luck and I hope that she heals up quickly.

When I needed one for my little kitty the one they gave me was to big too. So I just cut it all the way around so that she could still eat, drink and go potty, but couldn't reach the back area. Good luck with her.

Thanks everyone. I just might try putting it on backwards - I think that would work. Mishi was so cute last night helping to clean Mitzi (licking her head) when she had the collar on. I should have gotten a picture, but I didn't ....

As far as we can tell, Mitzi is around 7 years old, but we don't know for sure. She's very small. She weighed in at a svelte for her 9.8 lbs. yesterday which is terrific; she's just built round - it's so cute! She weighed over 12 lbs. when I adopted her and was EXTREMELY obese.

She tolerated me flushing her wounds this morning, although not without me getting an eyeful of the antiseptic - ow that burns! I have to "flush" her twice a day; I know she will be on to me after a day or two and it will become a battle royale! She's a feisty little beast!
