we used to use the anti lick strips, but found so many of our clients ended up with burning eyes, constant sneezing, we also had the same symptoms whenever applying them, the animals seemed to do the same, actually think they are awfull things to use!!!

[quote user="Julie-Anne Harrison"]Oh, I didn't know they were coated with pepper. I did wonder how they worked though, lol. Never got round to actually reading the ads or anything[/quote]

I only know because we used one and I was looking at it too closely and couldn't stop sneezing then went to read the info

Hadn't actually considered that - would it actually stop her licking Pilchard though? (Only cos Pilchard can eat with hers on, so TJ licking Pilcahrd would be like eating out of a bowl I guess)

I don't think a buster collar on the other cat will make a difference. He won't be restricted in licking the other cat, only himself.

One of my cats had surgery and I had a similar issue, I put buster collars on both cats which solved the problem. Discouraged him, let alone stopped him getting at it as the collar was in the way

Personally, I'd avoid the anti lick strips as they're coated with pepper if its a hot spot it might irritate it more?

We're open plan so can't really separate other than to pick one up and put them on a different sofa only for them to huddle back up together again a couple of minute later - have taken to clapping at them!!!

Pair of wean's boxer shorts, or those anti-lick strips (never used them but I keep seeing them in magazines). Or just keep them seperate.
