‘Cone of Shame’ face

[ChiefClerkDrumknott]

Some of you may remember my search for a name for my latest rescue - we settled on Mouse which suits the little squeaker perfectly. Anyhow, she was spayed yesterday and I thought you might enjoy her indignity at being put in the cone of shame to stop her licking the wound. She’s had the cone off to eat and is currently sleeping next to me without it but has to have it on during the working day and nighttime when we can’t supervise her. She is not impressed to say the least

Aww, the poor little thing! I remember when one of mine was spayed, she kept trying to groom herself through the collar. When it finally came off, she had a mammoth 3 hour wash . I hope Mouse is all healed up soon!

Awe that is not a happy face! When our last cat was spayed the vet suggested putting a babygro on her...have you ever tried to put a babygro on a cat....just don't 😂😂

Thanks both. She is severely unimpressed but has been brilliant at letting me put it on.
Funnily enough Rose I told a colleague about it and she said her vet had recommended similar for her dog 😆 I said I didn’t fancy trying to get one on a cat and she thoroughly agreed 😂

Man, that face is plotting revenge. The cat swears are almost palpable

gamerchick cat swears 😂 I know, I’m surprised I survived the night tbh

Mouse' mouth says it all. I fear for your safety, Chief.

I remember our vet suggesting a tight leg for my cat when I was a teenager
vets are pretty stupid.

Aww, I had a mouse, it’s a great name for a cat!
She looks mighty peeved.

Thanks all, you've made me chuckle.

Good news is she had a check up yesterday and all is healing well. Little bugger keeps getting hold of the surgical string to pull at it once she's had her food so the cone has to go straight back on once she's finished.

Her current plot against me is based on the oral painkillers I have to squirt straight down her throat I may not make it to the end of the week!

RoseDog Well I lived to tell the tale. Here is Yoda, wearing a babygro to stop overgrooming. He seems to quite like it.

His face though 😂

Mouse is doing well, post-op

She did look quite indignant actually!

Aww, love her.

I think Mouse was looking indignant one day as a very small kitten and the wind changed direction ... :)

She's gorgeous. Is she out of her cone now?

Yoda looks absolutely ridiculous, but adorable :).

Thanks all. She's a bit bonkers, although the vets insisted she was really shy and quiet, and has been a pain to toilet train (her favourite place to go was the bathroom mat ), which leads to me calling her Rattigan rather than Mouse! But she's a lovely, affectionate little creature and ever so pretty.

She's having longer stints out of the cone and doesn't seem to be trying to pick at the wound so much now. But we put it on overnight and when we're not there during the day just in case. Her little face makes me feel so guilty when I go to put it back on She's going back to the vet on Thursday for a final check and to have the stitches out so not long to go!
