Here are instructions for putting it on your kitty!
UPDATE: In a move that would make Harry Houdini proud, my kitty slipped out of this thing in mere minutes after wearing it for 4.5 days. Over this time, the collar had managed to slip down to be more around his shoulders than his neck, which enabled him to get out with ease. Probably a good idea to check fit daily to make sure the collar does not get too low. I still think this is a good product, just watch for that issue.My cat is around 13.5 lb and the large size is a bit snug but the fabric is stretchy and he seems comfortable. And the bite on his tummy that he was licking incessantly has begun to heal. There are NO instructions on how to put this thing on - I had to look at pictures in other reviews to figure it out. Here, then, is how I did it.Velcro closure goes on top along the cat's backbone and the part that looks like a sweatshirt collar is indeed the collar that goes around the cat's neck.1) Open up the velcro completely and lay out the onesie on a bed or the floor next to where your cat is resting. I did this on my bed so I wouldn't have to bend down much. Make sure that the inside of the onesie is facing you, with the holes for the back legs closest to you.2) Gently cradle your kitty in one arm and hold him so that he's basically standing on his back legs right next to the open onesie.3) Use your other hand to gently lift the cat's left rear leg just barely off the mattress and place it through the corresponding hole in the onesie. Go slowly, be patient, and speak gently and lovingly to your kitty as you do this - it's a weird experience for him and you want to keep him calm, happy, and not nervous! I was basically hugging him close to my body with my hear right next to his as I calmly talked him through this.4) Repeat for the right-rear paw.5) Slowly and gently slide the onesie up enough to put the left front paw through its corresponding hole.6) Bring the collar hole over the cat's head, always moving slowly and talking gently, and telling your kitty how good he's being and how this will help him get better!7) Put the right front paw through its corresponding hole.8) Adjust the onesie enough to close the velcro - it doesn't have to be perfect. Just get it closed and allow your cat to get used to the feeling of wearing this item. Opening velcro is REALLY noisy and some cats may find it unnerving, so don't fiddle with the velcro just yet.9) If you've gotten it on him, success! Don't worry about adjusting the fit - the cat will take care of this for you as he moves around a bit. After the kitty has worn the onsie for a couple hours and has gotten used to it, you can readjust the velcro if you want to do so.I was REALLY surprised that my kitty let me do this - he is pretty nervous about having one of his back paws handled after I had clipped one nail too short YEARS ago. But he allowed me to do it, and he actually seems to like wearing it - like the thundershirt vests, I think he gets the feeling of an all-over hug from it. (Though both of my cats really did not like the thundershirt - I think it was too constricting and they never seemed to get used to it.)One thing to be aware of: this will compress the cat's fur a bit, so he may not be as warm as usual when wearing it. If it's wintertime, make sure that your cat has a heated bed or other way to keep warm while wearing this item.I bought two of these so I could wash one while he wears the other. So far, it seems to be working well. He can eat, drink, use the litterbox, and groom without disturbing his wound. I think that for really large cats the L size might be a bit small.Very pleased with this item.

Excellent option after a spay!
We used this spay suit for our Maine Coon after her spay. It was easy to use and seemed not to bother our sweet girl much like an ecollar would. The size chart was accurate and for her weight the recommended size fit well. I gave it 4 stars because the material is very thin, which is great for breathability, but easily gets little holes in it if your cat tries to scratch their back. Also the Velcro can be a bit irritating on their back but nothing a good scratch can’t fix.

Not for my crazy cat
I bought this for my four month-old kitten when she was getting spayed. She’s fiesty, and I did not trust her to leave her incision alone. This kitty outfit seemed perfect for her. I had no idea which size to buy however, as I tried measuring her but again, she’s fiesty so I wasn’t able to get accurate measurements. I bought a small and medium to be safe. I didn’t want it too loose but I also didn’t want it too tight on her incision.The day of the surgery, I attempted to put her in the small when I realized the medium was too big. A HALF HOUR LATER, I finally got her in it. This was partly my fault, and mostly hers. First, I put it on upside down because I’m an idiot. Then she fought me tooth and nail (literally) the whole time. Even with my boyfriend’s help, it was an absolute nightmare. But once it was on, it was obvious it was perfect. It covered the incision, and she could walk and use the litter box. I actually slept that night with ease knowing I wasn’t going to wake up to find my kitten had ripped her incisions out.Or so I thought.The next day my boyfriend woke me up to inform me that our wild child (she was a stray, after all) had somehow managed to Houdini herself out of the suit during the night. Yep. All that for nothing. The only good thing I can report is she left her stitches alone.If my kitten wasn’t the craziest feline I’d ever owned, I could give this five stars. If it wasn’t for the fit I’d like to think this suit would have stayed on and been what I needed, but I can’t say for sure. My kitten is bad bad bad, and does whatever the hell she wants.If your cat is having surgery and there will be an incision somewhere on the belly, I have no doubt that this suit will be perfect for your kitty. I know when my kitten had it on, she couldn’t get to hers. So if you take anything away from my crazy and long-winded review, let it be that. If you’re unsure of the size, buy two to be safe and return the other like me. And I hope your cat is not as nuts as mine!

Works but snags easily
I am grateful for the fast delivery of this surgical suit. My kitten was spayed and we received this a couple days later. It is much better than the cone collar. She is an easy going girl, so she doesn't fight being in the suit.Sizes do run a bit small. I ordered a medium and small, and thankfully the medium fit. I followed the measurements recommendations. It stays on well and I don't need to use the elastic adjusting neck. However, the material does snag easily, even from the velcro on the back.But overall, this suit does what we need. It keeps her incisions safe from irritation or grooming, and she can still use the litter box without needing to remove the suit.

Excelente, pero pequeño del cuello
El producto funciona excepcionalmente, ventila bien, el único problema es que el largo del cuello es muy corto, se recorre hacia atrás y es ligeramente incómodo para el gato. Por lo demás excelente.Nota adicional: compré el tamaño L y parece un XL. Cuidado con eso.

Accurate sizing and light weight tshirt material keep kitty from getting too hot and licking wound
I bought two types for my cat's surgery. This one is a thinner material, more like a tshirt and my cat tolerated it far better than the other one which was more of a light sweatshirt material. Did she like it, no but it did the job and she could easily walk around in it. Sizing is accurate and velcro on back made it easy to get on and off and did not rub wound.

Velcro incomodo
Están muy bonitos. La tela es delgada y se ve refrescante (no se si sea algodón) pero es soportable para los peludos. Aunque sería mejor si tuvieran un botón en lugar del velcro... el velcro que traen es enooorme

the best thing i've tried!
my cat got spayed and was super miserable in both the plastic and fabric cones. so i got this suit for her to try and she was instantly a happy kitty! this covers her incision but she was still able to groom her arms and legs and butt.She can move freely and use the litter box without getting the suit dirty at all!it's also very durable. my cat would bite it when she's grooming herself but it never ripped.it's easy to put on and take off as well!

Shockingly Jacked
The fabric is silky/sateen. This mixed with cat fur and carpet means a lot of static shocks for the poor kitty that is already miserable having to wear clothing. The turtleneck and sleeveless combo help with confidence as it makes the wearer appear as though they have just stepped out of the gym in the early 90s.
