Goodness Gracious! Winnie, I am so sorry to hear this!!! I hope you heal up quickly.

I have found several issues with the cone. One is the inability to eat/drink. I use a couple of small blocks of wood (perhaps 4" square) and put the food and water on it. It allows the cat to eat/drink, and the cone to go around the wood. Otherwise, every time the cat tries to eat, the cone hits the floor, scaring it. I also take the cone off during the day when I am right there. Otherwise, the cat seems to get depressed.

The litterbox can be challenging, too..I switched to a super low sided box....again, every time the cone hit the box, the cat got scared.

Good luck!

Mercy me, poor little Winnie. I am sorry your paw hurts sweetie. That
sure was a nasty bump you got by the step ladder.

I can't imagine any kitty would like wearing a cone around it's neck, but
if that's what it's gonna take to heal up... Do you have a small
dog cage (maybe the Vet has one you could use) to confine her & keep her
from jumping around on the bad paw? Just for a week or two?

Hope you heal up & feel 100% soon Winnie.
