My 20 year old cat is super skinny - and only has a bob tail. Will the diapers stay on?
899918
Oh, yes. They have stretch and it's the shoulder tension that keeps them in place.

I have not received the diaper yet, it always takes them at least a month to get it out. I would think that as long as you have the measurments correct the bob tail won't matter so much and you could probably adjust for the supper skinny part.

That shouldn't be a problem, they were a snug fit on my skinny cat. They attach w/Velcro at the waist so a small tail shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, It will stay on most of the time. My cat sometimes gets out of mine. See where the bow is on the Joybie, I pull that up and put a safety pin to keep it from sliding down around my cat's legs. Also, I have found that feminine overnight thin maxie pads works and is cheaper than the pads that the Joybie place sells. If I can be of any more help or if you come up with any ideas, give my a shout. Teresa Riegle

I don't think there will be any problem with a short tail. At first my cat tried to get out of the pants, but he only got a hind leg out by biting at one of the two velcro buckles on the side.

I have really had to fight my cat to keep this diaper on. He is a contortionist. And not as old as your cat. At first he could get out of it in no time. I have had to try different things. Today I used 2 safety pins where the Velcro comes together. So far so good. I do not think that the bob tail will be a problem. If he is old and somewhat docile, I think it will work. If he is very skinny, you might want to try the safety pins to make it a little tighter.

I believe they would. My cat has a long tail but because it also goes over his head it makes it very hard for the to get it off. Just make sure you don't get a size that is too big cause they will be able to squirm out of it.

Mine is narrow too. I got extra velcro to help stablize. It does well with my more slender kitties (6-11 lbs). But my 13 lb will sometimes make it fall. My sill is very close to the floor. Hope this helps some.

Hi, our cat is probably 9-10lbs and it fit her. Getting it on is "fun", but it was secure and stayed on once fastened.

Yes, this would be too small for him. My cats are roughly 15 pounds each and it's too small for even them. Hope this helps.

that would probably fit but I can tell you they won't stay on. You would be better to get a "PeeKeeper" (there's a website) and use premie diapers for humans. The PeeKeeper works well and stays on even through the night.

I have 6 of the sage/tan beds and have washed them all a number of times with no problems whatsoever. As for the height, I think they're fairly deep as far as beds go. My big 18-pound tabby boy lays in one and peers over perfectly. Another of my kitties like to lean over the side so her belly is inside but her front paws are hanging over the edge. I had a pic uploaded at one point but it looks like none of the user uploaded pics are there anymore. Bummer.

The large fit our cat just fine, but he is not nearly 19 lbs. Maybe you should try the extra large.

They cover my male peke. He weighs about 15 lbs. It's the only diaper I found that works for a male with urine & bowel problems bc of old age.

I have a medium, which fits my slim 10 lb cat nicely, and my slightly chubby 15 lb cat poorly, but adequately. She's got a large frame, where if yours is chubby at 10 lb, I'm guessing she's got a tiny frame. The large is probably your better bet, but I think the medium might work.

It could be for awhile but normally not a problem, my 2-Cats are about 3-5 yrs old and 15lbs and they seem to have no problem at all. They seem to be a little messier (probably their size) but I am very happy with this product and they use it very well... very easy to maintain!

Yes mine is loose too. I was also surprised they did not put velcro. It does not seem to bother my cat though.

They have thin tail. Only caution I will mention is right after opennof pkg had stronger smell than I woukd approve of. Chemical smell, paintcsmell??? Not sure. It disipated after having open but I have been concerned of giving to cats due to that.

well, I use on my cat and I don't let on him overnight because he sleeps in the garage. And yes, you have to put the diaper properly, so they don't wiggle out of it.

I would measure my cat from nape of neck to base of tail. I have a small manx kitty and she took the small.However, its still too big for her. And I would suggest that you buy some puppy pee pads and place them where you cat sleeps, lounges, where ever you find your kitty peeing. And if your cats very skinny, I would suggest you allow the cat to eat when ever he wants. He will gain weight. I have a 14 year old male cat and he started pissing and pooping on the only carpeted area in my house even though there is a litter box. I might buy him one to teach him a lesson.Good luck.

I just tried ours on our "fat" cat (she's 14lb)--it could work...depending on how long your cat is. The collar part wasn't real snug. But the body fit nicely. She seemed to like it all wrapped around her.

Generally they are between 2-1/4 and 2-3/4 inches, with a few closer to 1 inch. Our skinny cats go right thru, our fat one does not.

Because of the sloping sides, it may not be big enough. My cat is 17 pounds and she stepped in, peed over the front and that was that. The best solution I have found if your cat likes to stand and pee where they land in the litter box is a regular large plastic bin with lid. Sit the bin on the lid and fill it with cat litter. As long as your cat is OK to jump into the litter box this works really well. My cat is arthritic now so I bought a small kids plastic step stool - works great!
