It is really cute but rather too big for my cat. I had to return it.Washed well, kept cat from scratching his stitches and he slept on it like a pillowThis collar is so adorable and soft! It's not inflatable, it's like a pillow.HOWEVER, he was trying to groom and his tongue got stuck somehow and he struggled like he could choke if it didn't get unstuck. I had to help it get unstuck more than once. If I can catch that on video and update this review, I will. It's scary to think about leaving him unattended knowing that can happen.Honestly such a great product. She just got spayed and could NOT stand the cone from the vet. She was hurting herself trying to get it off so I decided to get this one which she acts perfectly normal and playful in. She’s also able to eat and drink fairly easy with this on. Amaya is almost 11 months and is a very skinny cat so I got the small. 10/10 recommend !This is a stuffed ring with a drawstring closure that Can easily be tightened. My little kitten was stressed with the vet’s plastic ecollar. It was itchy, she bumped into things, and it didn’t allow peripheral vision. Amazon got this to me next day and it was a lifesaver. She didn’t have any issues when I out it on. Immediately was able to run around. At night it acted like a little pillow for her head. She would see on both sides. It is just big enough that she couldn’t get to her spay surgery scar. Note that it won’t work for tail or paw injuries as the cat will be able to bite these areas. Only issues were that she sipped it many times in the water bowl. So I took it off and blow dried it. And she likes to sniff her poop before covering so it also got dipped in poop a couple of times. Again it is easy enough to wash and dry. I loved this cone and it made her recovery from spay surgery so much more comfortable.This is a nice and comfortable alternative to the cone. Bought for my cat who has had issues for over a year and we have to keep using these, so I wanted one that was soft but would keep her from licking her tummy. Went by the size chart but the size was way too big. Was able to return it and get the next size down but it is almost too small. She can still reach her lower stomach area, so didn't work quite as well as I hoped but it is soft. Material is already getting holes and coming away from the collar so will need mended.I bought these for two of my cats after they had their surgery’s. Best thing ever, they could eat, go to the bathroom and sleep with them on. Which they could of done with a cone!
