My cat has approx a 9in neck and has a hotspot near her tail. Would a small work for her, and would it prevent her from getting to her tail?

i am not sure, i bought for my dog, around the same size, but didnt have to use t because he ended up not needing surgery. may depend on how long she is. i think it is worth a try--- it is a nice product, much better than any of the alternatives

Our puppy's neck is about the size of an average cat's neck and these e-collars are easily adjustable with its drawstring. It would probably stop a cat from reaching the base of the tail but no guarantee and if your cat is really determined this e-collar probably wouldn't be effective 100% of the time. I would give it a try because if it does work it would be worth every penny. It's so much better than a plastic collar in so many ways.

I first bought a small for my 7 pound female cat. It did not fit around her chest. Make sure you measure the chest and go by that size. The medium fit her perfectly.

My cat weighs 8 pounds & works perfect...but doesn't leave her much room at all. I would look for larger if it was my dog.

There are rods that have a stretch cord in them and they hook together. The rods insert into the four corner sleeves which keeps the item in a rectangle shape. I use it for a cat and I'm sure it would be suitable for small animal.

Our cat is approximately 15" from top of head to base of tail and thin and the small is still a smidge big on her, so I'd definitely suggest the small. Best of luck to you and your kitty!

I think it may be too small for her. My cat is pretty petite and its about perfect for her! It may work but would be a tight fit. Hope that helps!

Hi Martha!I also have a large cat, ( Maine Coon) I used the 3/8 sisal rope & so far no problems as it's been on there for several months. I made a cat scratching post out of a 4x4 & wrapped it as tight as I could. Also, I keep my kittys front claws trimmed. maybe trimming might help you as well, ( if you're not doing that of course!) I also turn my post around from time to time, so she don't scratch in the same spot.

This will keep them from getting full access to their head if ordered in larger size than indicated, but if your cat is constantly scratching at this area it will pop. You could then stuff it with cotton/rags/whatever (this is advised anyway), but again the scratching in this general area may cause it to be pulled off constantly. I could not use the cone as my cat refused to even walk at times along with inability to eat or use the regular covered box she preferred. The KONG only slightly irritated her and I know this thing made it impossible for her to clean her face after eating so I would take it off for a few minutes just so she could get that bit of dignity back. Of course, YMMV. This will keep them from getting full access to their head if ordered in larger size than indicated, but if your cat is constantly scratching at this area it will pop.

It might be a tight fit, my tiny 8lb cat fits great, but it took my 14lb cat longer to get used to. She has a bit of room and can turn around in it, but I think she would be unhappy if she gained more than a few pounds, lol.

I would say get a harness and a leash and see if she will go on her own when you stop. But if you are afraid of accidents I would get the small to extra small size depending on the size of the cat. =)

I used this on my cat who weighs 9 pounds as well as a cat that was bigger and had no problem. It fit both of them well and was not too tight. It is a good collar and I think it will work for your kitty. Good luck!

My cat is 20lbs and used an X-small. I wouldn't go bigger then a small. It's velcro to allow you to adjust.

Our cat is a 10-pound Siberian female. The extra-small was too small. It did go over her head, but her face was too close to the blue fabric, and the fabric was too short. She *may* have been able to get to her 6" incision on her belly (she had a kidney removed). The small fit well but was a little long, so I just cut about 1.5" off around the edges and she could move and eat more comfortably.

I'm guessing that you would normally leash your dog but cats need to be confined. My cat pretends to be choking and dying when I put anything near his neck and refuses to follow or be led. That's just the nature of a cat. Of course, I see no reason why you couldn't use it for a small dog.

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 don't think so. My cat (about 5-7lbs) was comfortable but there was no real room around her. I think if you go with the large one it would be better - I got med.

Yes, it is small. Works for small cats. I will buy bigger ones in the future.
