My poor cat scratched his head by accident and won't leave the cut alone, so it's cone time. Unfortunately, every cone we've tried had been incredibly disruptive to his life. The newest one is at least lighter and he eats okay wearing it, but he's still miserable.

I'm willing to even make one if someone has a pattern they've used. I tried a hat, but he gets it off right away. I clip his claws shorter already, and it's not quite enough to keep him from reinjuring himself.

Any suggestions? He has allergies, so this is going to be an occasional problem.

Rachel of Rachel & Jun made some for her cats. Her DIY stuff tends to be more helpful than most IMO since it's not just "I made this thing" but "here's all the crap that went wrong while I was making this thing". https://youtube.com/watch?v=Me587OYbyRk&t=215
