My fur-baby got spayed! DIY felt e-collar with only $1.99

Soooo Pepe got spayed about 10 days ago. She actually had an appointment on May 8th for spay but she was on heat so much earlier than I expected.
When fur-babies get spayed/neutered, they have to wear a e-collar to prevent them from licking the incision. The vet I went did not have e-collar for cats so it was a bit too big for Pepe. Soooo I decided to make one for her and here it is! I am so bad at DIYing and see the failure I went through 😭 BUT, the bottle line is I highly recommend to do this way. So much cheap (only $1.99), less limitation for fur-babies movements, and easy to make one :)

Oh my gosh you just saved my sanity! I cut up a reusable shopping bag because I had no felt but very similar material and is working great!! Thank you!

You saved my life ❤️❤️❤️ my cat couldn't walk or stay calm for one second because of the regular e-collar . But the collar you made is perfect thank you so much

My cat falls over and acts "broken" as you said, with the collar, I'm going to try this because its soft enough to fold when she needs to eat but gets in the way enough to stop licking. Thank you, your cats are beautiful❤

Great idea! My cat has skin allergies and when she has a flare up she sometimes scratches her face and neck to the point of bleeding. She freaks out completely with any other e-collar... plastic, blow up, etc. She walks backwards until she gets caught somewhere, then cries, growls, and hisses. The plastic cone is the right coverage but too heavy for her to hold her head up and walk, or eat/drink. I'm going to make some of these felt e-collars, but double the felt to make it a little stiffer, so it's harder to scratch her neck. Thank you!

Thank you for a very effective idea. I hate those cones, even soft ones. This felt collar protected my floof from a sore on her neck that we're trying to heal. And she looks so much more comfortable! I folded over the sides and sewed them down to make it more padded.

But with this ... she accepted it far more until now. My cat has started to lick herself to much due to ichy skin from food allergie. So she is now on a diat. But it takes time unfortunately. But with this her hair can grow back at the places where she licked it nearly bald. Thank you :)

If using a pin... use a baby diaper pin with a safety cover, so the cat can't somehow undo it.
