Poor kitty. We're having cone problems. She really can't see very well because of her eye and the cone just compounds the problem. Her food and water is usually kept on the counter in the laundry room. It's kind of a high jump and I was worried she couldn't make it with the stupid cone on, so I moved her food and water to the craft room. I had to put the food in a flat dish and her water in a small bowl so her cone could fit over it and she could eat and drink.
Another problem was the dog. Flash went in the craft room (where he rarely goes) and ate the cat food. That would explain why he isn't eating his own food.
So I had to close the door to the craft room and keep 50-50 inside. Poor kitty. We had couch time during the evening but last night she slept in the craft room. Alone but safe from the dog at least.
