Will this keep my cat from digging at her head/ears or should I get the cone?

I don't have a cat but it did not stop my Dachshund from chewing his feet, he just curled around it. Since cats are also very flexible I think you might have better success with the cone. There is a soft cone that is not really uncomfortable, just pathetic looking and very effective at stopping that kind of chronic behavior.

Your cat may try to and depending on how firm you have it around them and/or aggressive they are, they may eventually get to it by pushing onto something else but not with their paws. Always good to try as they do prefer this over the cone undoubtedly and you can always return it as amazon has awesome return policy

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.

I got this for a dog not a cat and i got it to keep him from licking his front legs and paws. He is able to scratch his neck underneath the collar with his hind legs and I'm sure a cat could do the same but he would not be able to reach his head due to the thickness of the collar. I also have cats and have had them all my life. As you probably know, cats can contort their bodies in all kinds of ways. I think they might be able to reach their heads with their hind legs by twisting their body and neck. Good luck with your cat.

Cynthia, although this collar does keep some of the cats from scratching, adult cats have very long legs. I have an Egyptian Mau whose long legs easily reach his head and ears. I would recommend the cone to keep those long "stilettos" from reaching their targets. I hope this is of assistance to you.

I would definitely check with a vet first. A cat's ear canals are shaped very differently from a human's.

This would depend on how well your cat is at improvising. My cats lean on one front leg while using the other to fish out the treats. Also, I put this away when I'm not giving them treats. It has plastic prongs that stick straight up and I'm always afraid that my cats will start playing around it and fall right on those prongs. That would really hurt! So, I supervise and they love the Activity Center. If my cat had only one leg, I would probably NOT get this. But then, only you know what your cat is capable of.

I would imagine it would. I read some reviews from folks that had used it on a cat. I'd make sure you look at the measurements on the small cone and make sure it fits the kitty.

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

I have a 20 lb. chihuahua/terrier mix who was a regular feeder at the litter box trough, so I raised the litter box. We recently moved to a place where there was no room to have a raised box, so I bought the Booda Dome CleanStep and spent 3 weeks before we moved getting the cat accustomed to it. I am happy to report that the dog never goes near it. I believe he's afraid to put his head inside the opening.

Catnip usually works. Also, my cat likes ribbon so i tied a piece of ribbon to it and she loves it

I would try a bigger size if you want to avoid scratches on the face. With the extra small, my cat can lick her paws (not a problem since her surgery was on the tummy). Your dog won't be able to scratch from the regular position, but she may be able to bend in a way to "poke/pet" her head with the back paws if you get a small size

Yes, it will work. My suggestion for applying it next month, is to get a friend to help you by holding her. (May even need to wrap her in a towel to keep her still) I believe it "tickles" as it runs down their skin under the fur which is why they have problems being still. As you get better at applying it, Bonnie, try giving her a special treat and you might be able to dose her while she is eating - but you have to be fast with this method. The towel works well for me with cleaning ears, giving antibiotics, pills, etc. But someone else holds the toweled cat while I "dose" it. Hope this helps. Amy

Hi Mary May work. One thing though. The front lip is low so ferrets can back in. That's the way they do it. Funny to watch. They don't bury like cats so spillover isn't an issue (except when the litter is new and they decide it's fun to play in the litter). With cats, you may end up with litter spill out the front. Also, they may outgrow it soon.

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.

Cat's head needs to be in the tunnel. We tried it with the collar tag before we had him chipped. It took Buddy a couple weeks to even want to go through it - we left it completely unlocked for a while so he got used to going through before we turned it on.

As long as the tubing is small there should be no problems. I am so happy with this product. My cat has no interest in cords protected with CritterCord.

I had the same concern. My cat would not walk into it. However, I picked her up, slid her tail under her, and backed her into it without issue. Used the same technique on my parents' cat in a similar bag (not the same) and it works like a champ!

Yes. My cat seems to calm down when he's wearing the harness. (The velcro is noisy when you take it off the cat.)

Greetings Kassandra Leigh Purcell!Yes, Cat Attract should for all intents and purposes work for your "Stray". I would make certain to put her right in the box- that way she will get the hint- sometimes I will also make a digging motion with the cat's front paw so that they get the idea that this is for doing business- NOT for sleeping! Lol! This should do the trick- best of luck!

No. This harness is great. My cat would get out of the dog harness. This harness has wide Velcro strips so she couldn't squirm out of it and it was very comfortable for her. This type will be perfect in my opinion.
