Instructions
Remove the cat's collar. Measure the circumference of the cat's neck using a soft measuring tape or a piece of string.
Draw a semi-circle in the middle of a strong piece of soft plastic poster-board. Use string or soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of the semi-circle for the Elizabethan collar. This will be the neck edge of the Elizabethan collar.
The poster-board must be at least the length and width of the cat's head, measuring from her neck to the tip of her nose. Use the soft measuring tape or a piece of string to measure her head.
Draw the Elizabethan collar's outer edge. Using the soft measuring tape or string with the measurement of the cat's neck, draw the outer edge at a distance of half the measurement of the cat's neck from the inner semi-circle.
Cut out the shape of the Elizabethan collar with the scissors.
Punch holes along both edges of the Elizabethan collar with the scissors. Make the holes about 1 inch apart; the number of holes will depend on the size of the cat's neck.
Cut slits near the inner semi-circle with scissors about 1 inch apart; the number of slits will depend on the size of the cat's neck.
Weave the cat's collar in and out of the Elizabethan collar through the slits on the neck edge.
Fasten the cat's collar on her neck. This will create a cone shape that surrounds her head.
Lace the two sides of the Elizabethan collar together with string, weaving it through the punched holes. This will close it around the cat's head and prevent her from injuring herself further.
