I bought this suit for my kitten’s spay recovery and it has worked really well. I tried it on her a few days before it was needed so she could get used to it, rather than just wake up in it at the vets. It’s not easy to put an outfit on a kitten so I wore gloves for the small amount of fight back! Be prepared for them to flop around and forget how to use their limbs when you first put it on, so do it on the floor. She’s 5 months old and about 2.5kg and the smallest size fits perfectly. This is the same suit they sell at Pets at Home so I figured it must be a reputable brand and it feels well made and good quality. I cut the inside tag out because it was relatively quite big and would maybe irritate. She only tried to escape it on the first evening when she was still wired from whatever they’d given her. She had a pull at the poppers but didn’t manage to get out. She used the litter tray straight away, no problems, and didn’t seem hesitant in the suit. Would definitely recommend it over a cone as she can still groom, eat and sleep normally. In fact, she now includes the suit itself in her grooming.

What a great product. Our kitten had an abdominal midline spey incision and would have had to wear a cone to prevent her from grooming or accessing her wound site for 10-14 days. No cat likes to wear a cone and we felt this would have distressed her considerably. We gave the suit to the vet who thought this was a great product. It was a great fit, very comfortable and she took to it without batting an eye. Her wound site was protected and she had full movement. The suit is a bit like a baby grow and poppers together around her bottom but left plenty of room for her to wee and toilet without staining or marking the suit, superb. The suit also allows for gauze pads to be inserted to absorb any weeping from the operation - but we didn’t have any such problem thanks heavens. The suit has been washed at 60C and now donated to our vets in case they have a poorly kitten who needs it

I bought this for my kitten following her neutering operation and had hoped it would stop her from licking her stitches and also help stop my other cat from messing with them too and most importantly I had hoped it would mean that she could avoid the dreaded "Cone of Shame". On the whole it worked well, my kitten was still able to move about freely and use her litter tray as normal. It also definitely kept my other cat at bay, however I did still need to purchase a cone as she managed to almost lick through the suit duing the first couple of days after her op so I had to buy a second suit to last her the duration of her recovery. I still think that this was a great option as it did help with her healing but it wasn't a total replacement for a Cone so I would still reccomend that people buy both

Purchased in advance of my kittens neutering op. Our kitten is within the length limits given for this item but as the pop fasteners at the rear allow for growth I'm sure it'll still fit her when needed. She only weighs around 1.5 kg and is quite thin, the suit fits but there is room for growth. It went on ok but I did need someone to hold her while I fed her head through the neck and her legs through the front. She was none too happy to have it on and just rolled around the room as it appears to have taken away her ability to walk! I've given this 4 stars since I can't yet comment on using it following surgery. We are now two weeks post op and I'm back with an update. My female kitten came home with the suit on as well as a soft collar I'd bought. We removed the collar to see how she'd be without it and it never went back on. The suit worked perfectly. She couldn't get at her stitches or lick her wound. She didn't even attempt it. I took it off twice and allowed a supervised groom. Getting it back on involved wrapping her in a blanket and pinning it to the floor with my legs while stretching the neck of the suit over her head! The kitten could use the litter tray fine, never did the suit become stained or smelly. She never appeared to walk comfortably in the suit until after I'd removed it the first time I realised the vet had put it on upside down!! Even when we adjusted it, she always appeared depressed, had no fight in her and was downright miserable. Fast forward 10 days, the suit came off the stitches out and all is back to crazy cat normal! I'd really recommend this suit, it did what we needed it to do.

At first I thought this was a great item to help with a couple of patches of eczema on my cats back . Easy to put on and fitted like a glove . Mr D did not seem to badly bothered by it . After 2 days however three holes appeared on the chest wall of the suit . I think he had been licking it but I never saw him attack it vigorously. Perhaps there is a fault on this one or the material needs to be more resilient ?

My poor tiny adult cat had to have stitches in her back and the soft cone that the vets put on her was just traumatic for her. She was uncomfortable and very confused as she had trouble doing simple things like walking and eating. The straw that broke me was when she drank out of the water fountain and collected water in the cone and frightened herself silly when it trickled all over her when she lifted her head. (Feel free time laugh, I did a little). I started to research for an alternative and found that little medical suits had helped others but there were very mixed reviews. I found suitical and despite not being too keen on the camouflage pattern (she is my little princess and deserves to look like a girl) I noted the reviews both on and off amazon and decided to go for it. I measured her and was going to buy the xxs but another review put me off and I bought the xs. It arrived promptly but was just too big for my little girl cat, she is just under 4K and is 2.5yrs old so definitely full grown. I organised a return which was swift and pain free and ordered an xxs on same day delivery. It arrived and, despite my inherent scepticism, it’s perfect. She is not happy wearing it but she’s a lot happier than when she had to wear the cone, win win in my eyes. The suit is really good quality, it’s finished well, the design allows her to do all necessary cat stuff and she seems less itchy and chew focused, she spent most of last night cleaning it as if it were her fur, which was noisy and a little funny but she is sleeping much better and is even coming for cuddles so her very vocal and sharp clawed objections when having it put on have completely passed and I can lavish affection upon her when she most needs it. She does walk like she’s had a stroke but she’s a sensitive little thing and it’s a small price to pay when she seems otherwise happy. Bottom line is measure your cat and order the measured size, don’t freak out when you put it on and they act like they are paralysed, it’s a normal cat reaction to being swaddled. Give them some treats if you can and let them feel safe and after a relatively short time your cat should be up and about. This suit has honestly been a god send, my kitty would not have coped in a cone for 10 days and neither would I, it’s was clearly distressing her and I would have felt hideous the whole time so we are both grateful to have found this product.

My cat had a wound on the back of his neck which he had had for over six weeks. Every morning I would bathe it, and by the evening he had scratched it and made it bleed. An Elizabethan collar would not work because it would have cut into the wound. I found this on the Pets at Home website but bought it from Amazon because delivery was quicker. It was a bit of a palaver getting him into it, and, as others have said, he went rigid for a while, but he adapted very quickly and was able to go out as usual the next day. The suit has a "polo neck" so I was able to roll it up as far as I needed to cover his injury. After a week I took it off and the scab had healed. I would highly recommend this product. It is very well designed, easy to fit, obviously reasonably comfortable and did exactly what I wanted it to do.

Our skinny little kitten looked like she really needed the smallest suit I could find to try out before she is to be spayed, so it looked like this one would be the most appropriate. However although it might look a bit more realistic (than blue or pink!), I really didn't like having to squeeze her whole body through it (no velcro or poppers along the back), and I really cannot believe that she could have defecated without getting faeces on her suit, the hole was so small. She constantly seemed to be trying to lick under her tail area without success, so after about an hour, it was removed and we bought another Cat Onesie which we had bought for our bigger kitten with velcro along the back, and a nice big hole round her back end, tho' admit these haven't been tried out post operation for any length of time, so there might be unforeseen things to consider.

Superbe

--- Si mon commentaire vous a aidé, n’hésitez pas à cliquer sur « Utile ». Cela fait toujours plaisir de savoir que l'on a pas passé du temps à rédiger un avis inutilement, Merci --- Etant la première personne à donner son avis sur cette combinaison post-opératoire, je vais tenter de vous fournir un maximum d’informations et de photos / vidéos sous tous les angles. Commençons par les raisons de cet achat. Stitch, chat femelle de six mois a été stérilisée. A son réveil, elle avait déjà retiré un fil. La véto lui a fait un pansement ultra résistant qu’aucun chat n’était censé pouvoir retirer. Stitch s’est acharnée sur le pansement, l’a retiré et s’est un peu plus ouvert la plaie en créant une énorme inflammation. Elle a donc finie avec des agrafes, en collerette et avec un autre pansement, mais ça ne l’a pas arrêtée. Elle est hyperactive et capable de contorsion hors du commun. Pour couronner le tout, étant cardiaque, elle ne pouvait pas être réopérée et il fallait absolument qu’elle se tienne tranquille. La véto n’avait pas de solution à me donner. Donc, niveau de stress maximum et nuits blanches pour veiller le chaton. A tout hasard, j’ai regardé sur Amazon et je suis tombée sur cette combinaison qui était mon dernier espoir de la sauver. DESCRIPTION Cette combinaison est parfaitement étudiée pour la morphologie des chats et particulièrement pour les opérations au niveau du ventre, où elle est plus ample pour éviter les frottements sur la plaie. A l’intérieur, il y a également une poche où l’on peut glisser une serviette hygiénique ou une pochette réfrigérée (comme indiqué par le fabriquant). J’y ai mis une compresse pour ne pas prendre le risque que mon chaton attrape une agrafe lorsqu’il tirait sur la combinaison. COMMENT ON LA MET ? On enfile d’abord la tête, puis les deux pattes avant et enfin, on ferme les deux brettelles derrière les pattes arrières. Si votre chat n’est pas facile, une fois la tête enfilé, donnez-lui de la pâtée pour l’occuper. LE CHAT LA SUPPORTE-T-IL / EST-CE CONFORTABLE ? On ne va pas se mentir, les chats ne vont pas appréciés d’être emmitouflés dans un vêtement. Pour vous parler de mon expérience, il n’y a pas de doute, la combinaison a été parfaitement supportée contrairement au pansement qui colle les poils et sur lequel Stitch a passé plusieurs heures à essayer de le retirer. Elle a quand même attaqué quelques fois la combinaison, mais seulement durant quelques minutes, pas durant des heures. Donc cela ne l’a gênait pas tant que ça. Je ne l’ai jamais vu se frotter contre les murs ni quoique ce soit du genre. Normalement, la combinaison permet de ne pas mettre de collerette. Dans mon cas, elle a gardé la collerette jusqu’à ce que les agrafes soient retirées et ensuite, elle a gardé la combinaison jusqu’à cicatrisation de la peau. Côté confort, elle n’a pas été gênée dans ses mouvements. Courses poursuites, sauts, descente et montée des escaliers, escalade des murs, cabrioles sur l’arbre à chat, bagarre avec son frère, … Avec ou sans la combinaison, elle était toujours la plus rapide et la plus agile (voir deuxième partie de la vidéo). Comme elle est petite, les bretelles étaient peut-être un peu larges pour elle, et elle avait un peu une tendance à marcher comme un cowboy qui descend de cheval. C’est certainement pour ça qu’elle s’est attaquée aux bretelles et pas au reste de la combinaison. Je vous ai mis la vidéo que j’ai prise juste après lui avoir mis la combinaison (première séquence de la vidéo). Vous pouvez voir qu’elle n’y prête pas plus attention que ça. Elle a une démarche un peu mal assurée qui n’a pas duré longtemps (quelques minutes, le temps qu’elle s’y fasse). ET POUR LES BESOINS ? Aucun problème, votre chat peut aller faire ses besoins sans risquer de souiller sa combinaison (voir photo et dernière partie de la vidéo). COMMENT CA TAILLE ? J’ai l’impression que ça taille un peu petit. A titre d’exemple, Stitch a 6 mois et mesure un petit 30cm du cou à la base de la queue. La combinaison XXXS est donnée pour un chat mesurant de 29 à 37cm. Elle est donc dans la partie basse des dimensions, et surtout, c’est une crevette qui a été qualifiée de « micro modèle » par sa véto. Elle est très fine et ce n’est donc pas son tour de taille qui peut rendre la combinaison trop petite. La première fois, je n’ai d’ailleurs attaché qu’un bouton pression sur les deux. Puis, avec le temps, la combinaison s’est détendue et j’ai attaché les deux boutons. Je trouve que le modèle lui allait parfaitement et je me pose la question si ça ne serait pas trop petit pour un chat un peu plus grand. Ma véto a eu l’air de dire que ça serait bon car lorsque l’on tire sur la combinaison elle s’allonge comme elle est en stretch. Mais bon, le chat risque d’être boudiné de mon point de vue. Toutefois, si vous la trouver un peu juste, tirer dessus pour la détendre. EST-CE RESISTANT ? Sur ce point, il faut être objectif. La combinaison est en coton et lycra, pas en maille de fer. Donc si votre chat a décidé de s’y attaquer, il est certain qu’il y aura des trous. Stitch s’est particulièrement attaquée aux bretelles et elle en a quasiment sectionnée la moitié d’une. Toutefois, après plus de dix jours, si la fabrication n’avait pas été de bonne qualité, elle aurait été en pièces (voir troisième partie de la vidéo et photos). La combinaison devant être portée pour une durée limitée suite à une opération, j’estime qu’elle a rempli sa mission haut la main. Pour ces deux raisons, je ne retire pas de point à la notation. Sinon, Stitch avait compris comment défaire les pressions des bretelles. De temps en temps, il y a avait une bretelle qui pendait. Mais pour autant, elle ne pouvait pas accéder à sa plaie. Si nécessaire, avec une pince, vous pouvez toujours resserrer un peu la fermeté du bouton pression. QU'EN PENSE MA VETERINAIRE ? Elle a trouvé ça tellement bien qu’elle va en acheter. EST-CE QUE JE RECOMMANDE ? Sans surprise : OUI ! … pour toutes les raisons que j’ai données. Si ce commentaire vous a aider, n hésitez pas à cliquer sur "utile".

Tchanee had her operation yesterday and the vet approved the suit. I am so glad she liked it as she is a licker when in pain. It keep her warm and doesn't make the wound sweaty. She walked like she did riding for a while but gosh is great. Toilet no problem either

Het was de perfecte oplossing voor mijn kat, aangezien ze na haar operatie enkele weken verzorging nodig had. Ze paste zich goed aan en er waren geen problemen!
