Diaper ideas for a cat

[kayla9433]

I have a cat that is incontinent both urine and feces. He has full mobility but his tail is dead but I haven't financially been able to get the surgery to have it removed. I have tried doggie diapers and making some diapers that just just tie around his back legs like the old timey human cloth baby diapers but he always slips out of them. If I express he still dribbles urine and has accidents with feces. I rent my home so having an accident on the carpet is not an option and I feel bad having him in a room by himself all day when he could be interacting with my other cats. Does anyone have any ideas on a diaper that would stay on him and not leak but not hinder his movement? I do have a sewing machine that I could use to make something but not really sure how to fashion it.

There are LOADS of things you can try, including turtleneck Onesies and suspenders. You're right about cats being able to walk or drag right out of their diapers!! Since he can walk, a Drag Bag wouldn't work. Look around this board, and also the paralysis one for ideas. There's also a Facebook group for paralyzed cats that recommends diapers regularly; I think their favorites are made by a member. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CatsWithParalysis/ While your baby may not be paralyzed, he's still spinal cord injured.

I hadn't even thought of the suspenders or turtleneck onsies! I sent a request to join the Facebook group so hopefully with all the suggestions I can find something in between that will work for him. Thank you so much!

Here is a pattern if you can

One of the members here uses disposable baby diapers and wraps masking tape around the waist to help keep them on.

Here are some photos of using regular disposables.
