So my 5 months old kitten, Spot, has been neutered just today. I know he's disoriented right now and needs rest, but I'm having trouble keeping his collar cone around his neck as the vet advised us to do. He needs to keep it on for 2 weeks so that he won't lick the neutered area so it won't become infected, but he keeps trying to scratch the cone off, and he succeeded in doing so 2 times. I keep making it tighter but at this point, it looks like it'll choke him if I make it any tighter. He hasn't been able to take if off after I tighetned it last, but he keeps attempting to do so. Do kittens get used to it or will he keep this up until it comes off again? I'm just worried he'll try to take it off for the next 2 weeks.
Also, how long does it usually take for kittens to get back into shape fully after neutering? I'm worried about him using the litter box because I was advised to use shredded newspaper for 5 days instead of litter but he is a wreck right now. I'm not even sure if he'll use it. I'm just worried in general.
