It has to be something he can't get off. And something that will stay in place when he walks and sleeps.

When Domino was getting very ill, the vet had put a port (for lack of better word) in her leg so they could give her fluids. They taped it up with stretchy gauze like stuff with cute little paws on it and Blackjack kept trying to take it off of her. She could have cared less that it was on. Never once bothered it. I think she knew it was to help her feel better. Blackjack on the other hand doesn't like a hair out of place (including on my head) and wanted it off of her. So I know he is going to be difficult. That's why I couldn't think of something I could make that he couldn't get off. I will have to make a trip to the fabric store and see what I can find.

Emeraldgreen - Yes Blackjack is very handsome with a very sweet disposition. He has never hissed that I know of. I read the posts on your Tiger today and I am very sorry for your loss. He was a very beautiful cat. I just hate it that pets can't be with us forever.
I think the stretchy gauze stuff you mentioned is the Vetwrap so it sounds like that won't work for Blackjack. But maybe you'll be able to sew something together with a comfortable fabric with some kind of added support. If you do make something, please take a pic so we can see it!

I'm sorry, I should have read your post more carefully, I thought you wrote that your sister had passed away and now I understand that it was Blackjack's sister. I hope that he is managing to get along without her.

Thanks for your kind comments about Tiger. We sure miss him.
