How can I safely introduce cones for kittens to prevent them from scratching or licking their wounds?

To safely introduce cones for kittens to prevent scratching or licking wounds, make sure the cone fits properly and is not too tight. Monitor the kitten closely to ensure they are not distressed or struggling with the cone. Gradually introduce the cone for short periods of time to allow the kitten to adjust. Provide distractions and positive reinforcement to help the kitten associate the cone with positive experiences.
