I hated watching Arthur being so uncomfortable, so I did a deeper dig.

After some more on line searching I drove out to the local Petco, in the dark, (I have horrible night vision) and found this small inflatable collar. They are advertised for dogs, so that's why I missed them. So far he seems more comfortable, although you might not guess that from the photo. Let's just say it's another adjustment at the end of a traumatic day.

This collar will also make giving him his medication SO much easier.

He spent most of the afternoon sleeping on me or hiding beneath a chair. He did have a good dinner.

1. Well it is much better looking and cats can be so vain

Wishing you and Arthur lots of luck

[Siwsan]

3. Thanks!

I think this will be a much easier adjustment for him. He kept running into furniture with that plastic cone.

2. I just offered up prayers for the boy, for you and for all your children.

[Siwsan]

4. Thank you.

[sprinkleeninow]

5. You did well! 💙

6. It certainly looks more comfortable for him.

His view of things will be better, too. Even though the other one was clear, he still had a distorted view looking through it.

Sending vibes for his recovery, and for your recovery from your part of the ordeal.

Think of it as a very wide collar.

7. I think he will be a lot more comfortable with this.

Also, the blue sets off his pretty yellow eyes.

8. Homage to Ukraine! Not realizing it? Or mb yes! 💙💛

19. I thot of the Ukrainian flag too! love those colors!

9. Very humane looking device.

Poor Arthur. Hope he feels better soon.
Sending healing vibes to you all.
So stressful when a fur baby is not well.

[Siwsan]

11. I know he's feeling better about his situation since he's out with the rest of the kitcats

I just gave them some treats, and he was all in.

I did find him trying to escape the new collar and he had two paws stuck between his neck and the collar. So I did some adjustments. Carys was fascinated by his failed Houdini routine.

Tomorrow will be a stay at home day, for me, so I can keep an eye on him.

10. I was going to suggest kitty diapers

we have an old (24yrs old) cat who pees everywhere and they work for him. That would keep him away from his bottom. But that looks like a first class collar!

[Sky Jewels]

14. Wow!! 24!!

That's amazing! Please smooch his fuzzy head for me.

[niyad]

12. I am glad that you found this, and that it seems to be working. I wondet how he

would have liked the sunflower one?

Continuing to send healing and calming vibes.

13. We had one for our little dog

wish I had thought of it earlier I would have suggested it. Much easier than a cone.

15. The best collar I ever had for my Dachshund was a cloth cone.

It flipped which-ever way and was totally comfortable for him to wear, save that it was a bit longer than his legs, which caused occassional tripping.

Similar but not identical to this:

16. Awesome collar. Never saw those. Arthur appreciates it

I know what you mean about driving in the dark. I rarely venture out late anymore. The lights are blinding from front and behind. You are such a loving mama.

[SheltieLover]

17. King Arthur in royal blue!

It becomes him & surely is much more comfortable & easier for him to see & move about with this one.

Great hunt, Mom!

[Chicagogrl1]

18. You are a good kitty Mommy!!

Hoping you & kitties can get some needed rest.

[CaptainTruth]

20. That looks much more comfortable than the standard plastic cone of shame.

I'm sure he appreciates it. You're a great mom!

[yorkster]

21. Good solution. Sweet kitty. n/t

[ShazzieB]

22. That looks much more comfortable, and he looks very handsome in it!

Hang in there, Arthur! This will all be over very soon.
