Cat tails Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Well, had a trip back to the vet today for a glue session… and now Flo is, very unwillingly sporting the latest kitty fashion😂 It didn’t take her long to make her opinion clear though… These medpet shirts have buttons on their bum, but that didn’t deter Flo. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Flo… Although she has kept it on since I put it back on. And is now away with the fairies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Making the most of having an incapacitated kitten in a red suit, I took her out on a lead today into the garden. She had a look around the WHOLE garden and wasn’t really planning on getting back in the house… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 She is even more cute in the red shirt!. Messy litter monkey though. I had to get a top opening litter tray and its the best ever - Marley digs and scrapes and it all stays inside the box for a change and he does not mind using it. Hope she keeps the shirt on for the few more days it will be needed. Got to love her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But definitely going back to the other litter box once she is officially free! I got her a second blue shirt, as she has some pee issues with the red one. But the collar is wider so she can get that one off way too easily. The colour suits her though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Looking good in that one - she will want a different one each day! Yes top litter boxes are ace. I have a messy Bengal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I had never seen one of these till we came to Portugal. We were offered a choice of a collar or a romper suit, so went with the latter. Ours came with velcro round the neck and a zip all along the back. I found our girl was super well behaved in it, very calm, unlike our boy who had a collar for his neutering and it was hell, he nearly choked. The only problem was getting the suit on, how on earth did you manage with one person?! My OH had to pick her up very firmly by the scruff of her neck whilst I manipulated all 4 legs into the holes without her clawing me!

Cat tails Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 You put this one on as a shirt, so once you pull the romper suit over her head, she doesn’t have much choice than stick her front legs through the holes. The back is fastened with push buttons around her bum. But that’s the part she hates the most… nobody is too touch her private bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 She looks even more cute with her little outfits on. She obviously didn't let the operation get in her way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looks adorable in the blue romper suit!!! I never knew those were a thing - possibly more practical then those upside down lampshades...how they work with a cat flap I have no idea. Guessing they just don't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hahaha no the lampshade is a horror. Had a cat panic once and she knocked herself out when she got caught behind a step of the stairs. At least with these suits they can technically still do everything, but it does slow them down quite a bit. And the blue one even has a button on the belly for when you need to walk your male dog. You open the back and sort of roll it up like a sleeve of a shirt. They come in many sizes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Flo has been enjoying her trips in the garden A LOT! She didn’t notice the very large frog though! 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Frogs make a terrible noise if they get captured. Hubby's mum's cat caught one a long time ago and it made a right racket. I love her collar and lead - I think Bonnie would like one as long as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm impressed you have managed to retain control, our boy cat would have strangled himself by now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 She does manage to wrap her lead around just about every plant, chair leg etc. And I think it helped enormously that I started with the harness when she was still wearing the romper suit. The harness is actually made for cats yo wear in the car. It even has an adapter to attach to a seatbelt clip. Not that I have a car. But it is made of seatbelt material and very sturdy. So less chance of escaping. On 3/14/2022 at 11:14 PM, Luvachicken said: Frogs make a terrible noise if they get captured. Hubby's mum's cat caught one a long time ago and it made a right racket.

Luvachicken Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Does she bother the chickens? My auntie used to have a cat that went for walks and went everywhere in the car with them too. Seatbelts for cats didn't exist then though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 My OH only said yesterday that it wasn't right that the smallest animal in the house (ie our adopted girl) seemed to be in charge! We used to have a feisty hen, called Dave, who would single out my female cat, and chase her, from way across the garden. Most peculiar.

Cat tails Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 My chickens definitely know the difference between cats. They used to never bat an eye when iPoes was around as she never did anything in their direction. They know Red is quite okay and ignore him mostly. But they will shout their lungs out when a strange cat is in the garden. Think they’ll learn to ignore Flo in the end too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
