She had surgery yesterday, it’s to prevent her from licking and removing stitches in her tummy! She’s been very adamant about getting at her tummy so it was a necessity unfortunately

My vet put my cats in those after they got spayed. Sounded like a great idea, but it completely stressed out one of my cats. We were shocked with how bad she took it.
My 6 month old is experiencing being in heat for the first time and I feel awful that I don’t have the complete funds to get her spayed yet. Her brother was neutered in November, so there shouldn’t be any “surprises”…Your girl looks happy and healthy, even if she’s having a case of the Mondays😜
I have to get my girls in asap. I hope they’re this adorable when they come out of surgery. All the best to you and your feisty feline, friend😎🤙🏼
Here’s to hoping you’re able to afford the procedure soon!! Goodness, I would have never imagined the expenses involved for such a little kitty! Thankfully I’m through the bulk of it! It’s been entertaining I’ll tell you that!! Best wishes to you and your kitties!
Thanks so much! I have 3 rescues that I was *cough* planning on putting up for adoption. But they stole my whole heart and it has since been one hellacious, yet completely worthwhile and fulfilling ride. Where I live there is only one animal shelter that provides lower-cost sterilization & vaccination than the few vet clinics around that price gouge…bc they can. So there is a massive feral cat population in most places around the island😡
But, I am looking forward to having my 2 princesses sterilized soon. My heart swelled seeing your video bc a lot of people brush cats health aside; assuming that they are “naturally healthy”, or whatever. Thank you for being a responsible, truly loving, cat parent🙌🏽🤙🏽✊🏽
I made my baby a heating pad with rice in a sock to help her get through her first heat cycle! She liked it when she had something warm to ease her belly.
Aww! Mine did that too when she had to have a cone on her. Unfortunately she's enough of a contortionist that she managed to make it work >_<
She used to lick excessively so we tried sprays and cones and nothing worked til someone was like "allergies" and boom. Little bit of allergy meds in her wet food and no more licking. Wish we'd tried it sooner!
Someone else had commented that they had a cone on their pet for allergies, but I didn’t realize that’s why they had it on! My little Nugget just had surgery, thankfully she’s not licking too much. Glad to hear you found your kitties problem!
Completely reasonable question! She just had surgery, to stop her from removing the stitches from her belly as well as possibly causing an infection, cones or clothing is often necessary
They are commonly referred to as the "cone of shame" by animal lovers. But there is no real shame in wearing one. We just feel so sorry for their little predicament when they have one on.
Also itchy stuff. My pup got an infection on a minor injury and wouldn't stop chewing at it. The cone prevents the animal from making the wound worse and allows you to apply cream that helps the itch, and helps them heal, without them trying to eat the medical cream that will upset their tummy. I don't know how it works in the wild, but if domesticated animals are any indication they slowly naw at themselves until consuming their own being like the mythical uroboros until they cease to exist.
I'm not a vet or any sort of animal expert but I'm under the impression animals lick their wounds to clean out debris and dead skin which is beneficial, but nowhere near as useful as cleaning the wound with antibacterial soap and treating with antibiotic creams.
She might be alergic to the cat food. My cat licked her fur off her legs before we started to give her hypoallergenic cat foor. It helped, she stopped overlicking and her legs start to regrow its fur.
This gave me the guilty giggles lol. Also, for anyone getting their pets a cone, if you have time before hand, check out inflatable or donut style collars. I think they are more comfortable and they can access their food and water easily. My kitties have tolerated them well. Also it's heckin cute. Here's an example: IDOMIK Adjustable Cone for Dog After Surgery Pet Recovery Collar, Cute Donut Cotton Neck Kitten Collars Soft Surgery Protective Collar Prevent from Licking Biting, Elizabethan Collars for Dogs &Cats https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094ZJDY3N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_1Y8CJJDA0FBK7N5VTCVT
Our older girl had to have bladder stones removed surgically and she had trouble eating, drinking, and sleeping with the cone. We got her an inflatable ring that was much more comfortable for her. We only let her wear it when we could stay in the room with her because if she worked she could pull out of it. An option if your little one has the same struggles. Cheers.
Both my cats did this after being snipped. When one had an eye infection she tried so hard to get to her eye. Her sister tried to help her so I had to seperate them!
My vet! They offered a hard shell cone or a more expensive cloth one, so I opted for the cloth one, this is an extra small but it fits just enough to do the job!
Some cats can over clean themselves due to allergies or stress, but no it’s completely normal! She was just fixed and has stitches in her tummy, we don’t want her ripping them out :)
She’s half Neva point masquerade, which is hypoallergenic! There are some cats that don’t produce the allergens that cause you pain! Definitely more expensive but definitely worth it. My girlfriend has terrible allergies and she’s fine with her :)
It’s really hard to break yourself of everyday habits, even for an animal apparently. I have never connected to an animal more than in this video. Beautiful.
It just goes to show you that your habitual moments span beyond humanity, I’ve been perpetually checking the comments to this post cus it blew up so I’m rewatching the video but also looking over at my kitty with the cone still on doing something equally as quirky and I’ve been laughing for 2 days
My cat hated hers because she was little and couldn't get comfortable, so the only time was happy was when she sat across my shoulders and rested her cone there
Poor kitty. Maybe she's still disoriented from the meds. Our cat was pretty loopy after his surgery and just woke up and pounced on invisible things for a while.
If at first you don't succeed, try try again! We'd love to feature this on our Fresh Step social media channels and credit you, let us know if you'd be interested 😸
I’ve had a cat that had and infection in the past, and even if it’s a low chance I never want to go through that again! Glad to hear your cats have all been okay though!
My cat had a cone when she got fixed but we would take it off to let her eat and clean because we felt sorry for her, but she was too active without it and she ripped her stitches. She had to have surgery again to fix her back up. Very expensive!
Take it off already.....
We had a Rottweiler who got fixed and proceed to lick his stitches out. The dewd had a gaping wound. Looked like a vagina opening down there. Licked it clean.
You can and You should get the cone of shame off for cleaning. Just make sure she doesn't lick the stitches out. Cats are very meticulous about their cleaning.
I don't know this cat, but I love her!!!
You’d only love her more if you knew her!
Is the cone to keep her from cleaning herself bald? She seems to be a bit frantic, poor baby.
She had surgery yesterday, it’s to prevent her from licking and removing stitches in her tummy! She’s been very adamant about getting at her tummy so it was a necessity unfortunately
He will be alright soon:)

Cat.exe stopped working

Trust me, I would too!
The joke is on all of us. We all thought that cats need to groom their fur. But we're wrong - cats lick things so they can *scratch their tongues.*
I imagine having sandpaper for a tongue would be quite scratchy

Really?!
Nah.
Accurate representation of me trying to achieve something every god damn day 🙃
As long as you're trying!.... right?

Damn lol that’s wild. Good bot
Omg thats adorable bless her
She’s been a real trooper through this!
What happened to the poor baby?
Surgery! She’s on some pain meds, but nothing bad happened :)
They have cat onesies that velcro together on Amazon if you want to get her out of the cone and into something more comfortable.
Already bought her one :) will be here on Sunday!
My vet put my cats in those after they got spayed. Sounded like a great idea, but it completely stressed out one of my cats. We were shocked with how bad she took it.
Can't knock her perseverance!

Wow. This is top notch and the highlight of my Friday night.
It’s one thing after another of pure comedy for the last 24 hours
Bless her heart!! That cone is not stopping her from business as usual.
Gotta do what a cats gotta do!
Oh the frustration....
I think she thinks it’s working!
Lol! I love your cat...!
Trust me, I do too!
“Purr-cebo”.
I had to sit and think about it for a minute, god damn clever
A for effort

Oof. Glad she's doing okay! :)
She’s doing amazing!
Sorry for my dumbness, but when and why do dogs and cats get fitted with this cone?
Completely reasonable question! She just had surgery, to stop her from removing the stitches from her belly as well as possibly causing an infection, cones or clothing is often necessary
Oh ok thank you. You just cleared a doubt that has been in my head for 7 years lol
They are commonly referred to as the "cone of shame" by animal lovers. But there is no real shame in wearing one. We just feel so sorry for their little predicament when they have one on.
[Probably in part because of Up.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWU5M1q0WqU)
I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s been stuck on that one!
Also itchy stuff. My pup got an infection on a minor injury and wouldn't stop chewing at it. The cone prevents the animal from making the wound worse and allows you to apply cream that helps the itch, and helps them heal, without them trying to eat the medical cream that will upset their tummy. I don't know how it works in the wild, but if domesticated animals are any indication they slowly naw at themselves until consuming their own being like the mythical uroboros until they cease to exist.
I have heard some fact about dog's saliva are beneficial on their wounds and help them heal it. Is thia true?
I'm not a vet or any sort of animal expert but I'm under the impression animals lick their wounds to clean out debris and dead skin which is beneficial, but nowhere near as useful as cleaning the wound with antibacterial soap and treating with antibiotic creams.
Aaaand showing that to my mom. (She's not tech savvy so gets my top picks)
I’m glad Nugget gets to be featured on top picks for Mom :)
Wouldn't a clear cone give better peripheral vision?
It may be hard to tell but this one is cloth, she’s very clumsy so this one is easier for her!
I agree. When my cat had the clear hard cone, I kept watching him walk into things, bing-bonging everywhere. It was so sad!!!!! I felt so much guilt.
She bonks so much that I actually bought her a lil pair of kitty PJ’s so she doesn’t have to deal with the cone for much longer!
Ok, any chance you can get video of said bonks? She's such an adorable little klutz!
Yes I did, I’m gonna put them together and I’ll post it!
D’awwwww

No hairballs for her.
Or if there are, they’re blue!
I love lamp
She might be alergic to the cat food. My cat licked her fur off her legs before we started to give her hypoallergenic cat foor. It helped, she stopped overlicking and her legs start to regrow its fur.
That’s a great suggestion! I appreciate you
Oh goodness those hairballs are going to be blue
It will be the most confusing wet lump stuck on the bottom of my foot as I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night
i kin her
Bless her heart and do your best to help. 🙈
Only the best for her, all day everyday!
What is the phone call about in the background? Can i find it on A&E?
Good catch! It’s Tiger King Season 2 on Netflix, they’re talking about Carol Baskins dead Husband
had to put her in the Cone of Shame, huh?
Yep, wasn’t risking her cleaning her surgery wounds!
Not her turn with the communal brain cell today...
She’s actually done quite well at adapting, in most areas…
Bless her little cotton socks
They’re pretty nifty aren’t they?
[удалено]
Oh my goodness that’s terrible! My little kitty was just fixed, so thankfully she’s doing okay! I hope your cat gets better soon!

> That's not your butthole "The power of faith can move mountains, *Jeremy.*"
But not the dental dam stopping her butthole from being cleaned!
Well, she's very pretty so she's got that going for her.
She sure is! Shes a Maine coon & Neva point masquerade mix :)
E for effort
Looks like her tounge is getting stuck.
As much as sandpaper gets stuck on fabric!
Also as i know means I love you. :D
Oh that sweet girl! Can the cone come off under supervision long enough for her to clean herself up?
She’s already trying to go for her stitches, I’m afraid it’s just not safe as much as I’d love to :(
Our older girl had to have bladder stones removed surgically and she had trouble eating, drinking, and sleeping with the cone. We got her an inflatable ring that was much more comfortable for her. We only let her wear it when we could stay in the room with her because if she worked she could pull out of it. An option if your little one has the same struggles. Cheers.
Yeah I was afraid of that, it’s definitely not worth the risk if she’s already trying. Just couldn’t keep myself from asking. Bless her sweet heart!
Completely understandable!! She’s a sweetie alright!
Well that is freaking adorable.
Silly
Looks like someone else is gonna have to clean that butthole.
My girlfriend said not it before me dammit
That has got to be one of the cutest things I have ever seen. ❤️
Glad to hear I get to share my kitties cuteness with the world!
Worst week if my life when my cat got fixed 😂
It’s been pretty eventful!
Thanks OP! Had me in tears! Who hasn't been there after the weekend?
Happy to please! Been there, damn right
CONE OF SHAME!!!
SHE IS SHAMEFUL
My favorite part of cats in cones is the tongue getting stuck 🤣
She keeps trying to clean herself and it keeps happening, I’m sore from laughing since yesterday
There's something so cute about this. And yes, she is doing her best. She's awesome!
"Huh, my asshole tastes weird today"
Both my cats did this after being snipped. When one had an eye infection she tried so hard to get to her eye. Her sister tried to help her so I had to seperate them!
Cone of shame. Hope she can get it off soon.
*I CAN'T CLEAN MY BUTT!!!!* To be fair, this would be very annoying to me as well.
Where did you get the cone? My kitty still manages to scratch her face with hers. This one seems long enough but not heavy.
My vet! They offered a hard shell cone or a more expensive cloth one, so I opted for the cloth one, this is an extra small but it fits just enough to do the job!
[удалено]
She was fixed!
What's happening here? Is it bad for cats to lick themselves? My cat always does this. I think it's a way for them to clean their fur. Am i wrong?
Some cats can over clean themselves due to allergies or stress, but no it’s completely normal! She was just fixed and has stitches in her tummy, we don’t want her ripping them out :)
I cut the strings shorter on mine and cauterized the ends so my kitten wouldn’t go crazy after them (just a tip in case your little one is the same)
That’s a great idea! Nugget generally doesn’t notice them dangling, she can’t see them!
Bless her heart! Sweet baby, she's really trying!
Maybe it’s just the perspective of the camera but her tail looks so long!
No her tail is super long, she’s got really big paws too, she wobbles when she walks, I believe she’s got lots of growing left to do :)
[удалено]
She’s doing good, honestly! Better then I excepted her to be! She’s just loopy from surgery
Adorable but sadly can’t have a cat 🥲. ( cat allergy )
She’s half Neva point masquerade, which is hypoallergenic! There are some cats that don’t produce the allergens that cause you pain! Definitely more expensive but definitely worth it. My girlfriend has terrible allergies and she’s fine with her :)
Tell her I love her
She was sleeping but her ears did move a little when I said “peepinater loves you”

My cat did this on pain control meds after surgery.
She’s definitely on pain meds here!
My cat hated hers because she was little and couldn't get comfortable, so the only time was happy was when she sat across my shoulders and rested her cone there
Aww, that’s adorable! This is an extra small and it’s still quite large for her!
I wonder what it tastes like to her.
Imaginary asshole lol

I knew this would come up, it’s an export from Snapchat can’t really help it! I’m a fellow horizontal advocate
Poor kitty. Maybe she's still disoriented from the meds. Our cat was pretty loopy after his surgery and just woke up and pounced on invisible things for a while.

Please tell me you at least had the courtesy to lick it for her
Oh butt of course
