I do realise that is a distinct possibility.
The Festool stuff is my aunt's. She also has the extractor and a sander.
They are pretty bloody nice.
In the end most of the power tools I used were hers. The off brand dremel and the bosch drill and impact driver were the only things of mine used.
My laser cutter would have done a great job on the window frame inside but I've not set it up yet.

Nah, looking at the UFO in the trees.
My cat needs a collar following and operation (nothing worrying). The vet gave a gruesome plastic one. It looks so uncomfortable and it’s so hard to take off. Luckily she is subdued after the op or she’d have ripped my arm to shreds.
Do all vets use those these days? Years ago, I was given a cloth one by another vet but I must have disposed of it.

My Jakey was terrified of the plastic cone after he had surgery once, I got him an inflatable doughnut collar instead which was much better although a bit heavy, he needed a bit of help on and off the sofa at first.
Radar had a body suit after major surgery once but that was to cover his fentanyl patch (he was out of his tree for days bless him) rather than wound protection as his incisions were small (keyhole surgery) at the angle of his jaw.
You can also get the cloth collars you refer to, that work more like a bib, you might find them for sale as soft surgical collar I think?
Vets will provide the cheap plastic cones usually, if you want something different you have to ask for it specifically (and pay for it) or buy it separately.
I feel like I’ve paid for a gold plated collar with the cost of the operation. Providing a cheap plastic collar feels like an insult.
I’ve ordered something to replace it. Coming tomorrow.
The cloth one the other cat had was also cone shaped. I don’t remember how it was fixed on. It must have been adjustable.

Normally those cones are plastic. Never heard of a cloth one

And this is the type of thing I used for Jakey - it doesn't restrict peripheral vision

Funnily enough, I've swapped Stan for a sunflower!
The cyst behind his ear has become huge, and he's scratching it till it bleeds. He's furious, of course, struggling to get his face in his food bowl, and can't go out, but it's not bothering him anywhere near as much as the plastic one does.

Tell me about it!
Taking Jakey in for a weigh and checkup on Monday morning, if he's lost more weight I can kiss goodbye to £250 for blood tests right there and then, and that's before any other tests or actual treatment.
I want him well mind you, it's just money.
Such a fucking lot of money though.
(Hope your little one recovers well and quickly).
Yes, I remember my old cats having lots of expensive tests. At least one time, the tests were inconclusive and further expensive tests were required.
You just want them healthy and happy.

Ended up spending the day helping my mum reglaze a window so not much movement on the cat box.
Tried working out the details of the roof.
This is how it's not going to be made
I've also dismantled the top of the tower of solitude to fix that too.

Keep it, as long as you complement the DIY pics with photos of the ultimate beneficiary.
