The Cone of Shame

No animal likes to wear "the cone of shame" while healing from an injury, that's for sure. Some like it less than others --



Some try to (naively) make the best of it --


Others discover that they have unexpected friends --



Of course, not everyone is sympathetic --


Sometimes an animal's cone brings out their humans' sense of humour --



Clever animals can adapt quite well to a cone --


But even so, it still interferes with some basic functions of life --


Sometimes, in a pinch, other substitutes must be found --



And you know what? There are certain humans who should wear a cone of shame too --


Some more than others!

  1. I love these. The last is a great idea but I can think of another good use for a cone on that one. Sadly we're 5 spawn too late. Actually a generation earlier would have been even better.

  9. My brother picked up my dog and dropped her once and her leg broke. I'd rather have her dealt with the cone than the cast. Ugh

  10. Hahahaha! I remember when one of cats had an abscess and had to wear the cone. He ran out of the house and tried to hide under my neighbor's balcony. He couldn't fit because of the cone and it was really comical to see! Poor kitty!

  13. OMG! These were so funny! My mother has a Ridgeback who occasionally will get ear infections, so she will start inching her ear to the point where it gets really red. Last time home she started inching it and my mother grab the cone from the closet. Lilleth came bolting out of the room to me and was pressed up against me tight. She thought I would protect her. It was so funny. All my mother has to do is get it out and she stops inching. Of course she gets meds then.

  18. I once had a cat in one of those cones. The urge to bathe was too great, so the cat just licked the inside of the cone.

  33. LOL I think more PEOPLE should wear the cone of shame like that cartoon! When my pugs started going blind, I made them some cones, but they were covered with a nice soft fabric so they'd be extra comfy. It helped them not to hurt their little noses while they got used to "mapping" the house out while losing their vision. Some of those photos are hilarious! Love the "love at first sight" ha ha...

  34. I am all for preventing Trump to use his Twitter account by putting cones to cover his very small hands.

  45. The last picture is the best one.

  46. I literally laughed until I cried over these. My poor parrot, Decibel, had a cone of shame for quite awhile. Deci had to wear the large macaw cone because she figured out the small macaw cone in a jiffy. Might have been a tough go for her, but she got to take gabapentin, so she was verrrry chill.

  47. OMG those are funny!!!! I especially live the use of cones on Trump to keep him from Tweeting.

    I have had both dogs and cats that have had to wear those cones. They are a form of torture I am sure. I think the paper plate version seems less invasive. Clever!
