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!
This is the BEST!!! No strings, no blow up thing and no hard plastic! I'm making some for my old boy who over-grooms his shoulder. They look really comfortable as well as VERY effective! Thanks for sharing!
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
Thank you this was an amazing tip, how creative! I can’t believe that they are given such an uncomfortable cone when a simple comfy option like this exists
They're given the plastic ones because these soft felt ones often don't work. It's not actually that hard for a smart cat to pull these off or catch the edge of it on an object and fold it back so they can reach the incision. Don't get me wrong, the plastic ones are absolute trash, which is why I use the donut style collars (made them myself but they're available online too). Think about it this way. Sure, that felt cone is cheap. But if it fails and your cat tears her sutures out you're going to wish you'd spent 15$ on a donut collar instead of 2$ on something with a much higher risk of failure.
THANK YOU! I didnt have felt but stiff paper bags work well too!! My cat is doing SO much better and the wide circular girth prevents him from licking the incision.
Thanks so much for the idea. My girls suffered with the E collar for a day and I quickly did this. Now they're much happier. They eat, drink & uses the litter box easily. They sleep so comfortably too. 💕💕💕
Its soo true! Eating and drinking was so hard with the normal collars. With this new great idea collar they are so comfortable, to such an extend that even after removing it they dont show signs that it was creating them discomfort. It looked as though the collar was just a part of them
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!
You dont know how much happy I am for this great idea of your, so so so thankful to you my dear. I have no words to express my deep gratitude towards you. My cat is so comfortable now. May God bless you all through out!!!
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❤
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.
Thank you so much Lovely, I just made two for both of my kittens that just got spayed literally took me under 5 minutes and they seem to be SUPER comfty wearing it!
I just tried this on my cat who keeps getting hot spots in her forearms. So far she seems much happier than when she’s in a collar. Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant idea!
My cat doesn't even like to wear a normal collar. I had the e-collar on her for about 15mins & she hated It. I found this & used a reusable shopping bag & she has no issues at all. Thanks for the awesome Idea :D
I think this is a brilliant idea - thanks for posting. I've bought some felt! Just one point, for anyone considering it for their own cat - if you have any open flames around your house such as a hearth fire that might throw out sparks, PLEASE check the fabric you use for flammability.
Wow this is a very good idea! First time owner, my male is about to be neutered and I was thinking how on earth would I give him an effective and least-annoying option. Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful!!
Thank you. Your idea saved our mini panther from ripping his fresh incision open. The plastic cone collar the vet sent him home with was a bad joke. It lasted about 2 seconds. He hated it. The cloth collar doesn't bother him at all. Again, thank you.
Thank you 🙏 My cat just got desexed and he hates the E collar. I didn’t have a sponge but did same thing with a puppy pad and he doesn’t mind it 😊 Thank you so much
Thank you so much. My cat Nala just got spayed and she does not like anything around her neck. I tried everything and she was not having it until I saw your video. She keeps trying to lick it off but is not going crazy like with the other options. Thank you so much for the peace of mind
with your felt or cloth collar =. if you use when you apply flea & tick meds on your cat it absorbs the flea & tic medicine . I used a foam plate for after surgery, you can cut it to size
Thank you for the tip. My kitty just got neutered. After 6 attempts with e collar, between him slipped out under 6 seconds and me not having good patch of skin on arm, this is the best idea ever
This is very interesting did it stay on all the time or did she get it off did she claw it off? I want to try this, thank for posting this and it is a nice video of your cat I have cats and I love cats, so seeing your cats is a bonus for me I gave this a thumbs up like. Thank you Laura in uk
Hi new friend here,thanks for sharing!will be needing this diy collar for my 3 cats that just spayed yesterday,looks like he adapted too the material so well.good job👍💙
That is a amazing cheap trick/invention you made! I tryed the recovery body for my cat but she was so unhappy with like she hated it because she couldn't freeliy walk and jump. 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 :)
Adorable! Thank you. I think my cat will just pull that off, but I will try. He's a little bugger. :D I'm trying to get him to stop scratching his chin, which is very sore.
I can really use this with my cat I unfortunately can not find the right cloths, thickness wise. Do you have a link or suggestion where I can get the cloths you are using Loved your video!!! Brilliant idea!! Thank you Jessica
I got the fabric from one of local asian marts. It doesn't have to be thick. As long as it is big enough around the neck, it would work preventing cat from licking ☺️
I hope this works, I got my baby Luna spayed yesterday and she freaked with the cone and even worse with the onesie I was trying to make! Hoping this helps it’s so simple and looks like it’s not that bad! 😊👏🏼 Thank youuuu!!!
About how many inches was the cloth when a full circle? My cat is currently in a cone and hasn’t eaten in a day because she is so stressed and I have been crying because it’s so upsetting
@@heyhaylee thank you!! I estimated about that much for my cat too and the felt collar has been an AMAZING alternative to the plastic cone or recovery suit! She was a little wary at first but NOTHING like how she was with the plastic cone. The beauty of the fly is that she’s still able to get into her little areas and not be traumatized but solid barrier of plastic
@@peachy7586 she is still recovering and hardly notices the collar. I took off the felt collar and she kept licking the stitches so I had to put it back on her for now. I’ll be able to take it off her in a few days
My cat had been spayed 4 days ago , she took off her e-collar since the first day she arrived home ! She wouldn't let me cover her incision at all ! She did lick it couple times and I'm panicking for real ! I don't sleep , i keep watching her cuz she's really active and I'm worried she won't heal in time . Please help !
Hope your cat is fine now. My first cat was like that; the wound were opened from licking so I had to have her wound stitched at the clinic again. But with my second cat, I made a bib with felt fabric and it worked perfectly!
OMG thank you so much! This works uneblievably well. Hopefully my cat wont be able to remove this from his head. He just got neutered 2 days ago and I have to wash his pillow ecollar
OMG! THANK YOU!!!! I am going to try to make one of this right now. It's been a crazy day today since my cat Got spayed today. I am looking for solutions and made a T-shirt for her which works for now but this looks better.
It really depends on how big/small your cat is. I made it as big as possible at first and then cut it smaller that my cat can't reach the surgical field but comfortable enough for food and water :)
PLEASE USE A SAFETY PIN AND ATTACH THIS TO THE COLLAR! I just spent $300 extra because this came off while I was at work and my cat chewed off his stitches. So please please secure it by using a safety pin to the collar. Much more secure and you don’t have to go through what I went through
Friendly reminder: sure, this only costs 2$ and maybe it worked in this case. But these have a higher risk of failure than a 15$ donut collar. What is the vet bill going to cost people when the felt one fails and the cat tears her sutures out? Trying to save $13 and costing yourself over $100 just for the urgent office visit fee in the process isn't good math.
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!
That's such a brilliant idea using a reusable shopping bag. Thanks for sharing!
he didn't rip it?
Yes I thought to use a reusable bag too!
@@pariskate1997 Not plastic bag .. It's similar to felt.
This is the BEST!!! No strings, no blow up thing and no hard plastic! I'm making some for my old boy who over-grooms his shoulder. They look really comfortable as well as VERY effective! Thanks for sharing!

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

what an absolutely precious girl.
Very important that you pay attention though, the tongue can get stuck in the fabric when they lick. Thanks for the tip, keep this in mind everybody

Amazing!! Life saving invention! I and my cat appreciate this amazing idea. He was so sad and disturbed in acollar.. Thanks 😊
I am happy it was useful!
Thank you so much! I was frantic trying to decide what to do because our cat hates the plastic too. This was a game changer!
Thank you so much for this felt collar idea!!! It works beautifully 🐈

Sweet kitties!!
Thank you for the tip. My kitty just got neutered. After 6 attempts with e collar, between him slipped out under 6 seconds and me not having good patch of skin on arm, this is the best idea ever
Excellent idea!
I made one for my kitten Snoopy who keeps licking off medicated lotion.
I made his out of a stiff felt pad.
Thanks for this idea!
What a great idea!. It works!!! My cat kept freaking out with the color. But he seems to be less upset with the felt!
Thank you so much for this idea. My cats was soooo unhappy with the plastic and inflatable collar.
my cat got spayed a couple of days ago and she's a trooper but she's so desperate to nuzzle faces i want to get the cone off. thanks for this
I loveee youuu ❤ you saved my little one of that horrible plastic cone
Thanks. Great idea. I need it one for my cat. She has some skin problem and have been scratching so much. Thus is very helpful
I am glad it was useful! Just one more advice: you might have to change that collar every two days. It easily gets messy :P
The shirt is like a Thunder Shirt...they flop over due to the compression they experience.😽
Thank you so much we were desperate and this worked perfectly
This is very interesting did it stay on all the time or did she get it off did she claw it off? I want to try this, thank for posting this and it is a nice video of your cat I have cats and I love cats, so seeing your cats is a bonus for me I gave this a thumbs up like. Thank you Laura in uk

It really help me out
So cute
Thank u so much!
Wow! Thank you for this! I learned a lot! Pepe is so cute! I also made a video of DIY E-collar for dogs!
Thank you so much🙏❤😘
About how many inches was the cloth when a full circle? My cat is currently in a cone and hasn’t eaten in a day because she is so stressed and I have been crying because it’s so upsetting
It depends on how big your cat is. Mine was about 11 inches when a full circle. Hope it works!

@@peachy7586 she is still recovering and hardly notices the collar. I took off the felt collar and she kept licking the stitches so I had to put it back on her for now. I’ll be able to take it off her in a few days
i will make similar for my male cat he just got neutered but the collar is so hard he can barely eat or drink i will make mine a little longer😂for him

Update: This is better than the pillow e-collar that I bought!
Thank you!
Will it work if my cat have a wound on the side of her body? I made a little biger cloth for her
yes, i definitely believe it would work to prevent your cat from licking!
@@heyhaylee thanks, its working but she slides it over her body, but still working :)
hello I'll appreciate it so much if you can answer this. is the material is like microfiber kitchen cleaning cloth?
thank you in advance
It's more like felt cloth that can stand up rigid and prevent cats from licking. Hope it helped!
Omg u give me an idea! Tomorrow i will buy this this
Yes she is, as cute as a button!
its one of those cat days! which vet did you guys get it done at?
She originally had an appointment at Animal Medical Clinic, but I had to make a last min change to Wise Owl. Great service!
OMG! THANK YOU!!!! I am going to try to make one of this right now. It's been a crazy day today since my cat Got spayed today. I am looking for solutions and made a T-shirt for her which works for now but this looks better.
Can I ask how many cm around did you cut it because mine put his leg through
It really depends on how big/small your cat is. I made it as big as possible at first and then cut it smaller that my cat can't reach the surgical field but comfortable enough for food and water :)
Pepe is so dramatic, they could totally walk, they just didn’t like the outfit or something
I think it's some kind of weird defense mechanism. Like how my brain shuts down whenever I try to give somebody directions or drive somewhere new.
PLEASE USE A SAFETY PIN AND ATTACH THIS TO THE COLLAR! I just spent $300 extra because this came off while I was at work and my cat chewed off his stitches. So please please secure it by using a safety pin to the collar. Much more secure and you don’t have to go through what I went through
If using a pin... use a baby diaper pin with a safety cover, so the cat can't somehow undo it.
Thank youuuu
이거 보고 방금 사서 따라했어요!! 옆에서 제 친구는 치킨타올이 bendable 해서 고양이가 상처 핧을수 있다고 자꾸 그렇는데 괜찮겠죠? 상처 안 닿을 길이까지 최대항 크게 만들었어요
네 상처에 안 닿을 정도의 길이면 괜찮을거에요! 생각보다 재질이 빳빳하고 잘 안 구부러지더라고요. 그래도 혹시 모르니 상처가 다 아물기전 까지는 관심 더 가져주시면 괜찮습니당 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

What is the material made of? Cotton, felt?
it's thick felt
THANK YOUUUU
My cat would definitely rip it or take it off 😥
oh no! have you tried it? my cat needed time to get used to it, but it worked out fine. hope your cat is ok too 🥺
She shouldn’t be jumping. I bought a onesie but I was told not to use that on my cat
Your cat jumping 2 days after surgery 😨
My vet told me to make sure that the cat dont jump for 10-14 days
oops my fault.. super grateful she recovered from the surgery without any issues 🥹
your cats name in tagalog is something else
Hahahahaha my friend told me that, but I decided to stick to it. My kitty's name, Pepe, was named after Pepe Le Pew, a cartoon character 💛
@@heyhaylee Cuteee
Not work
Its waste e collar
will this work on dogs?
sorry for late responses. for small dog friends, defiantly!
Thank you!
