Superior post-surgical feline & canine appliance. (Or: Dump the cone!)

Step 3Cloth cut.

Cloth cut.
Here, as you can see the cloth is cut and ready to adorn Bella.
Yes, it's crudely done & a little asymmetrical, but it does the job perfectly and it is, after all, very temporary & disposable. And the kitties seem to love their jackets.

Now, get your safety pins ready and position cat over jacket. Lower feline so front paws are in arm holes (the smaller 2 holes). When this is done, forget rear end and just pull front half of jacket up arms, wrap around snugly and fasten (safety pin) at back of neck.
Now for the hind legs. When you have the feet & legs through the back 2 holes then you just snug everything up. Use 4 safety pins, all along the spine: one near head, one near tail and 2 in between.
Make sure jacket fits very SNUGLY, but not too tight! Make sure your cat can breathe okay.

Reasonable snugness is necessary or your cat will wriggle right out of her jacket, or get 2 legs through one hole, or one arm through the collar, etc.

Our cat Victoria just came back from being spayed and she took it upon herself to try and pull out her stitches. We were looking for a way to make a "cone of shame" out of a milk jug, and we found this instead. She keeps trying to back out of it, but it'll be much easier for her to go around with this as opposed to a cone on her head. Thanks for putting it up!
