Hi my little stinker loves cuddles and sleeping on chest. He doesn’t notice the massive pain I feel when he steps directly on the fracture. How do I train him not to sleep on my sling side? I threw him off of me when he caused a jab of pain throughout my body but that was mean and he didn’t learn to be gentle. ,

    Maybe keep a small pillow over your collarbone area? Especially if you have a buckwheat or microbead one that molds to the shape of whatever you put it on.

    I had abdominal/pelvic surgery with a cat who loved walking across my stomach, so while I was recovering I never lay down without a pillow covering my incisions. When she did step on it, the pillow at least helped disperse her weight so it didn’t hurt much.

      Thats smart. I fell asleep with an ice pack on my should and I threw a towel over it so my cats claws wouldn’t pierce the plastic pack. He was more curious abt why I was icing I guess
