We are responsible for those who have tamed. That is why companies specializing in pet products make every effort to make the life of pets better and easier. As a result, there are special beds, fortified food, special brushes for combing wool and much more. In this way, diapers for cats were invented, which are now very popular in certain cases.
What are you for?
In truth, pet diapers, along with other products recognized to improve the lives of pets, are also invented to make life easier for their owners. In this regard, there are a number of reasons why you may need to purchase diapers for cats and cats. The most harmless reason is the long road with your pet. Since it is not always possible to stop transport and take the animal out for a walk, it is diapers that will allow you to spend time on the road without "fragrant" surprises. Unfortunately, the need to wear diapers is often accompanied by the following diseases and characteristics of the body of cats and cats.
Firstly, diapers for cats are used for the same reasons as for humans - when the animal is sick and cannot constantly go to the tray to relieve need. There are also cases when a four-legged friend cannot independently control the release of processed substances from the body.
Secondly, diapers are often worn on cats and cats after surgery. In such cases, these personal care products will not allow animals to lick their wounds after surgery. In the same way, diapers are put on to prevent the cat from licking the ointment, which is applied to the perineum with various skin diseases.
Thirdly, during estrus, diapers are put on cats in order to keep the house clean and avoid unwanted mating. This question is especially acute for people who simultaneously hold a cat and a cat.
Absorbing Nappies
Separately, it is worth mentioning that periodically diapers are put on young cats for the reason that they are afraid to go to the toilet in the tray and thereby leave their "surprises" throughout the house. But, to avoid unnecessary trouble, you can use absorbent diapers. They are put in the tray, and then the kitten without problems and fear goes into the tray to address their needs. Thus, you will train the animal to the tray much faster and get rid of excess hassle by buying and putting diapers on your animal.
What materials are they made of?
Given the fact that reviews of diapers for cats confirm their effectiveness, it becomes quite clear that the manufacturers of these products are responsible for the selection of materials and the manufacture of products.
So, any diaper can be divided into two parts: internal and external. The outer layer, as a rule, is made of durable polymer materials that have a long service life. Another characteristic feature of such materials is that they freely pass air, but completely retain moisture.
The inner layer, in turn, is also divided into the following two components:
- The absorbent layer. This material turns the incoming moisture into a gel and evenly distributes it around the entire perimeter of the diaper.
- Locking element. This part of the diaper is responsible for ensuring that the resulting moisture does not penetrate the diaper.
How to choose
Based on the fact that cats are found in very different sizes, it is not surprising that manufacturers offer different sizes of diapers for cats. Therefore, pet owners quite often encounter difficulty, how to choose the right diaper size. To do this, you must know the weight and waist volume of your pet. Armed with the necessary data, you can safely go to the nearest veterinary store and buy diapers of the right size.
The following sizes are available on the market today:
- S.
- M.
- L.
As in humans, the sizes above are presented in an increase. So, if you need to buy a diaper for cats, whose weight varies between 2-4 kilograms, and the waist is 25-30 centimeters, you need to choose the smallest size.
If your pet weighs up to 7 kg and boasts a waist of 30-45 cm, then the size M will be ideal for him.
Sometimes owners of certain breeds wonder whether diapers for cats are large enough. They can be reassured by the fact that diapers of size L are suitable for rather large animals, whose weight reaches 16 kg and a waist circumference of 45-65 cm.
How to make diapers for cats with your own hands
Sometimes it happens that pet owners do not have the opportunity to buy diapers at the moment. In case of urgent need, you can make diapers for cats with your own hands. This will take some time, but in certain cases home-made diapers are the only possible way out of this situation.
So, there are two main ways of making diapers for mewing pets on their own. The first of these is the use of diapers for the child as a basis. The only thing to do in this case is to choose the right size and make a hole for the tail in the right place. In order not to be mistaken, you can pre-try diapers on your pet.
The next option is the use of gauze or strong fabric. Here you need to fold the selected material into a triangle in several layers. After that, one vertex of the triangle should be put on the cat’s stomach between the paws, and the other two should be placed on the back so that all three vertices can be connected together on the belly of the pet.
How to wear
According to reviews, diapers for cats are quite convenient to use. A little difficulty can still be connected with how to put the diaper on the animal. First of all, you need to calm your pet and calm yourself.
The process itself should begin by passing the tail through a special hole. Then you need to correctly place the product on the body of the cat and fasten the Velcro. It is very important here to ensure that the diaper is not fixed tightly. The thing here is that in the process of filling the diaper increases in size and becomes heavier. Thus, a tightly worn product will cause certain inconvenience to the pet.
Given the above, you should not worry if you do not know how to dress a cat with diapers. This process is quite simple and anyone can do it.
Manufacturers and prices
If you have an urgent need to purchase diapers for cats, then you should immediately understand that both the budget and the more expensive options are presented on the domestic market.
The Russian company Triol is responsible for budget diapers. This manufacturer produces diapers in packs of 12-14 pieces. For one such package you will have to pay around 250 rubles.
If you are ready to fork out for diapers, then you should pay attention to another domestic manufacturer called Luxsan Pets. A package of 14 pieces will cost you about 600 rubles.
Separately, it is worth noting that there is not much difference in quality between the products of these two manufacturers. The only question is how much money are you willing to give for diapers for cats.
Conclusion
As we saw, there are a number of reasons why a pet may need a special diaper. According to the main characteristics of such diapers, their main task still remains to keep the house clean and dry. Here, the most important thing is also to choose the right diaper size for your pet. Despite the initial fears and concerns, putting a diaper on your pet is a completely simple task, which, in turn, should bring very noticeable benefits.
