How to Stop a Cat From Licking Wound

1. Apply a bitter apple spray or solution to the wound. This will make the wound taste unpleasant to the cat, and they will be less likely to lick it. You can find bitter apple spray at most pet stores.

2. Cover the wound with a bandage or sock. This will help to keep the cat from reaching the wound and licking it. Make sure the bandage or sock is not too tight, as this could cause discomfort.

3. Give the cat an Elizabethan collar. This is a cone-shaped collar that will prevent the cat from reaching their head and licking the wound. Elizabethan collars can be purchased at most pet stores.

4. Distract the cat. Give the cat something else to focus on, such as a toy or a treat. This will help to take their mind off the wound and reduce the likelihood of them licking it.

5. Keep the cat indoors. This will help to prevent the cat from coming into contact with dirt and other contaminants that could infect the wound.

6. If the wound is severe, take the cat to the vet. The vet will be able to clean the wound and prescribe medication to help it heal.
