This morning Socks was minus her collar and had pulled out 7 of the 9 staples and was looking very pleased with herself
Fortunately the glue seems to be holding so I decided against another trip to the vets, fortunately she is in a somewhat better mood so we are now running clinical trials on the collars:
The MK1 version (parcel tape tubes) was a complete fail as her head was too big to fit through the centre.
The MK2 version has been modified (several times
) it has now passed the first series of tests (nice tight fit, can't quite reach the wound but can just about reach her rear end for cleaning and also improved spacial awareness) and is now entering the next phase of testing.
So far its looking good but Socks is still inclined to perform abrupt reverse manoeuvres in the hope that it will come off! if all goes well stage 3 involves her going through the night without removing it.
Here she is sporting the MK 2 'naughty kitty collar', don't worry I am not taking advantage of her, she is being paid with Dreamies and Tuna for taking part in these highly scientific clinical trials.
A full report will be posted at the end of testing tommorow, (unless it fails in which case I will be keeping a very low profile
)
