I purchased an XS for our kitten when he was spayed and used it until his wound healed. Then our elder cat (12) injured her leg and required surgery she has had the cone on for five days straight (stitches). Luckily the XS fit, I would recommend a SM for an adult cat. The cone has been great, it folds back to allow her to crawl into her favorite hiding place (she couldn’t get to it with the plastic cone from the vet)and lays forward when she sleeps. The Velcro is noisy, but it is super strong and stays together, and once it is on it doesn’t pull apart. It is heavier, but she can still jump on the dresser and the bed with it on. Best of all, it’s so cute.

My 18 lb sweet tabby needed to wear a cone to prevent him from licking a sore on his back leg. We literally tried 4 other cones and he was able to take each of those off in a couple of minutes. Those cones were heavier, more ridged, and built for dogs (it was difficult to find one for cats...enter this one!). This collar is really lightweight and super soft. Because my sweet guy is a little beefy, I had to order a medium for his neck circumference. Because it was too deep, I cut off the top part of it with fabric scissors. Now our sweet guy is napping & walking around the house, eating, drinking, and using the liter box with it on while his foot heals!

Our cat needs to wear a recovery collar sometimes to protect a chronic wound on his neck. I thought this one would be sturdy, cozy, and adorable, but it seems very heavy for a cat and the sound of the velcro scared him. So, Thomas is back to wearing the cheap blue collar that the vet gave us. The Alfie collar would probably work well for a dog though.

Roxy’s neck size is 10” she is wearing size small. I wanted her to be comfortable and looking this adorable is a plus. I had this e collar for awhile so when the time comes I had one. No dogs or cats like wearing that hard e collar. The soft ones are better Roxy can sleep peacefully. The lion e collar is well made the velcro is very strong and the price was great.

Just what we needed! The one the hospital had for her did not work. After wearing all night being up, she finally ripped the old one off. This was wonderful. She could wear it back to eat and sleeping worked best forward. It kept her from the stitches. Please get ahead of the surgery and have for your pet. It stayed on with just a small fastening at the neck line. We picked up 3 from you so we had them to make sure we had the correct size. The intern at the hospital said "oh don't you love Chewy?"

We’ve been looking for a soft cone that our pup could have on to stop licking hot spots while they heal but one that is also soft enough that it’s comfortable for her to sleep in/ be in for the day. This was it. She had no problems eating, playing, sleeping, etc.

After a few alterations this adorable recovery collar kept my boy comfy after his last surgery. My only complaint is that the measurements around neck run a bit small, so I’d definitely suggest sizing up.

I gave the collar five stars because it is adorable and because my kitten couldn't take it off. But I rarely put it on her because it is so big and her legs aren't that long that she couldn't walk without tripping on it. I've saved it for when my dog might need it in the future or my kittens grow longer legs.

Our 20 year old kitty scratched open an ear polyp and came home from the vet in an awful plastic collar. This one is soft to sleep in and flexible so that she can eat easier and not bounce off of stuff she gets to close to. She seems much happier in this cone than the plastic one. She's 12 Lbs and size XS fit perfectly.

I ordered this for my st benard puppy he's five months old and the xl wouldn't even fit him. He's only in a medium collar this is made way too small. The collar is also soft. I probably misunderstood that it wasn't a traditional hard plastic recovery collar that was covered.
