...aha. Caught you, cat!
...now what the fuck do I do.
Thea is presently engaged in licking at the inside of her cone collar. It rotates, you see. And a moment ago, and presumably whenever she's been doing this that the collar is in the right position relative to her face, she was scratching her chin
with the collar latch things.
Seriously, what the fuck do I do now? Call the vet in the morning? I cannot physically stop her from scratching her chin open with the collar latch, not without removing the collar altogether (I'm pretty sure it's not reversible), and the flat collar is not effective at keeping her from scratching her chin with her paws!
...you know if I'd gone to Petsmart instead of Concord Pets, I bet I could have found a velcro cone collar there. (Concord Pets only had the one style.) I might try going to Petsmart in the morning, and call the vet only if I cannot find a velcro cone collar for cat-sized necks.
ETA:
fixt? thank you, #yuletide!
