Contrary to popular belief, muzzles aren’t just for dogs. There are muzzles for cats too, and they perform a similar function. A cat muzzle is a device that can be placed on your cat’s face to get them to calm down and prevent them from biting anyone. It features a small hole in the center that will allow the cat to breathe while preventing their mouth from opening. Some cat muzzles completely cover the eyes because it can sometimes calm cats down if they can’t see anything.
This device is typically used in veterinary clinics to prevent cats from biting when they’re feeling anxious or in pain. Groomers also use cat muzzles for anxious customers. Cat muzzles can also be used to correct certain behavior such as training a cat to stop meowing or to eat more slowly.
