Lena stays in the air-conditioned comfort of the house, stretched out on the cool tile floors…often right underfoot! But then, she IS Queen of the House, so I guess she can lie down where she pleases and we humans will walk around and over.
Our kitties have been finding it very difficult. Especially the Ragdolls, and poor Cookie who has been we ring her cone of shame since last Wednesday. Can’t remove it until Monday. xx
It’s just the one the vet sent her home with. We asked about using a blow up collar, or a soft collar, but they said they’ve had bad experiences with those. Is yours a normal plastic one, but with air holes? If so I might look for them and get one in just in case we need one again. Cookie gets her stitches out tomorrow, so collar can come off then thankfully! ?
Noticed them in shop the other day. Asked vet about them, but his concern is that the cats might be able to get the velcro undone on the removable part? Do you have any photos showing how well that part attaches please?
Cookie”s collar is off now, thankfully. Sadly her lump was an aggressive mammary tumour. There was a thin margin of healthy tissue surrounding it, so keeping fingers crossed for no more spread. She wasn’t spayed until around 1yr old. Found by RSPCA as a stray with kittens. ? Just highlights the importance of early neutering.

Hiya. Ah I’ll have a look for other photos or take a new one. The Velcro strip was tested by vets and charities btw. 🙂
My local vet got a bunch of them directly from the manufacturer for trying out and was very impressed with it. If your vet wants to try them out he can email me on my 4cats email address btw – marc@4cats.de and I could see if I can arrange for him to trial them as well.
You are welcome. :-). Remind me to send you extra pics on the weekend please. I’ve got a number of work events this week and will most likely forget over wise. 😡
It’s been hot but not muggy. But then it’s dry here most of the time. ~^..^~
It’s cooled down here a bit. 🙂
As I write this, my own floofy calico is lying on the cool tile, resting up after a 115 degree day. At least it was a DRY heat!
Oh god! That is hot indeed.
Will sagen, furchtbar heiss =^:^=
Ciao

Haha ja! ?
We are also “cellar-dwellers” in this heat! >^..^<
It’s a good idea during really hot days.
Thanks for following my blog
You are welcome 🙂
awww oliver! he looks like he’s chillin’ <3
🙂 he really enjoyed this as it was far too hot the last few days we always found him downstairs with the shoes LOL
Tile floor are cool to rest upon.
🙂 indeed
Linoleum is always cool, maybe that’s why cats like to lay on it. My cat likes the Linoleum.
More than likely!
I do have to admit though, Daisy Mae Doesn’t lay on our linoleum much which I think is odd.
My guys are nuts and like to go out on the screened porch when it’s hot. I have to herd them in.
O.O surely they must be melting

Excellent idea to stay in the air con House haha.
And yep that’s the same with our king and Queen they do what they want and where they want LOL.

Oh no what cone do you use? We’ve got some genius ones with air holes that help keep cats cool. 🙂

Normal plastic with air holes and a removable front flap so that it’s not got to be taken off entirely for feeding. 🙂 https://shop.katzenworld.uk/product/pet-airs-elizabethan-collar/

Thanks Marc, I’ll pass that onto my vet.

Unfortunately so haha xD
We had a cat who loved to sleep downstairs on my brother’s waterbed when it got too hot and muggy
It’s s Great Place to cool down. 🙂
