Cat has a sore?

Thanks a lot both of you! I'm hoping to not have to get a cone for the cats because they get into enough trouble knocking things over without it, I can't imagine the mayhem they'd cause with all that plastic they can't account for. But if it comes to that it may be the only choice haha.

Thanks for the suggestion scotty. I never would have thought of cayenne pepper, that's a good idea. It would definitely keep both cats from licking the wound, or at least keep them at bay long enough for it to start healing. I'm going to go check the cupboards for the pepper and try it out if we have some. Thanks again!
