… if she is in a cone, has she recently had a procedure? if she has, please please please let her rest and keep her clean and dry. she will need time to recover. animals will act like they feel completely fine, even when they are in pain, and they will not scale back activity levels on their own if they are on painkillers post-op. they don’t understand that not being in pain doesn’t mean they aren’t injured.

if she has not had a surgery recently and the cone is an allergy thing or something, still a bit sad that baby is out in the rain. she is very cute.

does she go everywhere with you? what a life of adventure. :)

She cut the inside of her ear and needed to cone so she wouldnt get it infected again. Shes all better now though, had to wear the thing for 7 days, and this photo was 2 weeks ago. That said she loves being outside (even on rainy days) and the vet said she was allowed some short walks.

Beautiful picture (and cat)! Love the lighting and the leading line of that block that also frames her

I do not like this term cone of shame.

Up, the movie, probably made it popular. It has older history, but apparently it's unclear where it came from.
