Our cat has a gash on his tail and keeps licking it, it's really sore. What can we put on it to stop him doing this and does anyone know if the vets will have any of those funnel type things that go over their heads to stop them biting or is the pet shop a quicker/cheaper option? thanks.

Our front garden is half gravel and half planted up with bark on top of the soil. The birds keep throwing the bark all over the place to get to their dinner but it makes such a mess in the garden since most fo it ends up in the path or on the gravel.
