So last night I caught Jacob trying to rip his stitches out. The vet had sent me home with an E-collar, you know, "just in case," and, well, now I have one very unhappy cat.
I've dealt with pets and E-collars before. When I had my rats, they had to wear them from time to time*. So I know that Jacob will adjust and get used to it and, sooner or later, stop hating me. But for now, I have a very unhappy cat.
