Mosby looks not too happy with his "Elizabethan collar" - he would've been a lot happier licking and bothering those stitches, I bet but this apparatus put the kibosh on that course of wanted action perfectly! Glad he's doing better, Emile - those "tussles" are always a problem in a multi-cat household...Alpha Cat "stuff" until everyone settles down into their own little niche of the pecking order! #9532000
