My little furry patient was very good about getting her drops both last night and this morning. Both times she was hiding in the wardrobe, but had conveniently placed herself on top of a handbag, which was fairly easily slid out. I hadn't realised this, but the neighbour who was helping me, her own cat has had this same operation to one eye. Apparently it was a two towel job to get his drops in!

I was woken up this morning with a cone in my face. Headbumpies aren't easy with a cone. The wee soul just wants to snuggle in, to be reassured, I think.

Thanks to those who have suggested taking the cone off to let her groom herself. I will try this when Alec is back. I wouldn't have risked it on my own!
