Idea Exchange: Coffee filters can help keep cats clean

Try using large, biodegradable coffee filters as bibs when you need to force-feed cats. First, fold the filter in half and cut a hole in it. Then place the filter over the cat's head, and begin feeding. If the filter gets dirty, just turn it. When you're done, toss it.
