[header] How to care for a bandage or splint on a cat [title] Observe the bandage or splint daily. [step] Check your cat's splint or bandage at least twice daily to make sure that it is dry and secure. Time these observations with other normal activities, such as brushing or after-meal relaxation. 
If your cat demonstrates unease when you check the bandage, use treats or gentle petting to calm it down. [substeps] If your cat resists contact with its bandaged area, simply observe it visually to assess its condition.
