Well & Good Recovery Suit for Kittens
This soft collar is one I have personally used for my cats to prevent over-grooming. It stops them from reaching their sides, but if your cat is a bit flexible, they may be able to reach their tail, belly, and hind-end area.
This collar is easy to slide onto your cat and it holds into place/prevents your cat from removing it with a velcro strap.
Your cat may hate it at first, but they will be fine; it is still easy to maneuver in for them.

TropiClean OxyMed Medicated Oatmeal Treatment for Pets
After a multiple year long struggle, we were able to deduce that my cat's issues were in fact, not fleas, like many vets wanted to dismiss us with, but actually: allergies! He was becoming allergic to something within the house or in his food! After ...
Though, he does have times where he has occasional allergic reactions, that's where Viralys has come into play for me.
If my cat is going to have seasonal allergy issues, I don't want to spend an arm and a leg at the vet if there is no permanent solution to his struggles, but I have read so many forums from other cat owners with similar issues with their allergic cat...
I have consistently used a glob of Viralys for my cat daily, and he has significantly calmed down with his allergic reactions. I did not want to risk his life giving him allergy medicine, but Viralys Lysine has been working perfectly fine for him! It...
I've noticed a decrease in his ulcers that appear when having a reaction and he has not scratched himself as hard as he would when having reactions as well.
