My sweet little kitten, Henry, has a medium sized puncture wound on his neck. I believe most of the infection is out and it is trying to heal. Unfortunately he keeps wanting to scratch the wound. Is there anything I can use besides a cone to keep him from itching his wound open so it can heal?

A cone basically is for the animals to not bite at his wound. You can try to use a cloth around this. Take an old wash rag and make a neck collar to put around the neck of your cat. See if this helps to stop him from scratching. When any wound heals it does itch and your cat is just trying to stop it from itching. You should keep it covered so that it won't get worse.
This might sound weird but it worked on my cat if you have a sock that doesn't have a match cut the top off and put it over there head and around there neck on top of the wound the used two to double it so he won't scratch it
Hey my cat has a scar right under her chin and I cant stop her from licking and scratching it and it makes me worried, does anyone know how I can stop her from scratching it
You could use an antiseptic cream or coconut oil to make him more comfortable
I'd keep it covered until it heals enough.
