I need a tiny e collar...
I am a very special kitty with a very special condition. The long arms called vets say that I have a cyst on my head that is miraculously protecting a very large open fontanel (soft spot, or hole in my skull). The problem is; I like to scratch it when it swells, and that makes it leak, and then my long armed furless friends get worried that I will get an infection. I'm about 10 weeks, so I'm wicked little, and the long-arms are having a hard time finding a small enough e collar for me. Any suggestions?

If you haven't done so yet, look for soft cloth surgery collars. I saw one on a doggie once, and it looked like the sort of thing with velcro snaps where you could get away with wrapping it a little big snugger than the regular plastic one if necessary due to the individual size of the pet. I wish I could remember the brand name of that collar but I don't.
Better yet, if you are crafty and can get your hands on heavy canvas cloth, you could try to sew your own version of a soft cloth collar to put on him.
Sorry not to be of anymore help, but I hope this will at least point you in the right direction.
