Nooo… Melbcat has been feeling stressed lately and licking her little tummy raw.

spoiler

She’s still been getting her calming Zylkene and I’ve been neglecting the garden to avoid leaving her inside by herself. But she is overdue for her Solensia (thanks health dramas and 4 days of public holidays). Maybe she’ll come good when I sort that.

Otherwise maybe I can put her in a baby’s bodysuit (with the bottom snaps left open) as a way of protecting her skin. This however… would not help her stress.

this one looks great, it has velcro for easy putting on and it covers her tummy 🙂

That’s so cute. I will be murdered in my sleep but the photos would be worth it

You can buy cat t-shirts from k-mart.

I can’t see them but Kmart now sells a pet stroller 😲

Edit: Found them but they only seem to have dog ones. And they leave the lower belly uncovered

Damn. Maybe try a new born singlet.

Yeah. That’s a great idea.

I have a bodysuit but it’s a little tight and the singy would be more comfortable

More stretchy to help get on too.

I am so going to wake up one day to find she’s pooped in my shoes
