Does a kitty sweater prevent excessive grooming?
Our beloved kitty suffered a broken jaw so the vet has wired it nearly-shut for six weeks so that it can. Our kitty has been living with his new (temporary) look for one week. He's now getting antsy and has started to groom himself excessively through the small opening in his mouth. He's managed to remove a lot of the fur from his "bib," chest and front leg areas. The fur that's left is almost always very wet and messy. Since these areas are so wet, kitty gets very cold. We've tried many things to stop his excessive grooming and are about to ask the vet for some meds to calm him down. Before we do that, we were wondering if anyone has had any success in diminishing or even eliminating excessive grooming by using some form of sweater, jacket or shirt designed for a cat. Any related information would (also) be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

I have tried to put a sweater on a number of cats, and the bar none result is that the cat will just fall over on their side and lay there until you take it off, or they will struggle with it until they get it off.
Overall, I dont believe that cats on a whole do very well with any animal clothing, hence why you dont see too much cat designed clothing around.
Id say that a cone would probably be the best method for a cat. Make sure that its a plastic one. Those new age cloth ones are lame and practically useless. Your cat will be wearing it like a dress in no time.
