This is the funniest thing you’ll see all day. Cat with headguard sitting on a snowboard.

My cat had to wear one (as well as this hideous mesh like shirt) so he would bite off his pain patch. They do have to go on kind of tight (like u can just fit a couple fingertips under) so they can’t pop it off their head (mine managed to get it off like 3 times). I think it just looks worse because it’s such a fluffy kitty.

Angel Murphy says:

It actually is on correctly… Its a protective cone for the cat so that the cat doesn’t scratch its head or ears or whatever the doc doesn’t want the cat scratch…so u people need to chill out… It may be annoying to the cat but that’s about as far as any harm to the cat that there is….

People are over reacting I think to a fact that this kitty was lucky enough to have an owner get it to the vet and put a collar on for protective reasons of health. It was the kitty who chose to stand up in “parrie dog” position to get a different view. The cat is not choking, it’s just hard to get used to from him. Symapthetic-yes, cruel-NO, funny? Yes & ADORABLE!

I’m not 4 sho if its sad or cute :p

Christine Kelly says:

Yeah – Okay – that just isn’t okay. It is plain that that doesn’t go on a cat. I hope the cat pees in your bed later as punishment, and you have to replace the mattress. Better yet the cat will pee on you while you are asleep. The only downside is that the rest of us won’t get to enjoy it -

It’s made for the cat. You’re just making yourself look stupid.

Christine K. – The Elizabethan Collar is a medical device used by vets on both dogs and cats to keep them from chewing on stitches or scratching at a new surgical spot and damaging the wound further. Dogs normally take to them better than cats do, but nonetheless, it is not torture, it is not painful, it is not punishment of any kind. It is extremely ethical by allowing the animal’s wound to heal without getting infected due to them chewing at it or pulling on their stitches. Please research and educate yourself before you get all worked up over something you know nothing about.

Anita Wuest – do you really think anyone here doesn’t already know what an Elizabethan collar is for? I’ve had injured animals and I’ve used them before, so that is why I know that the one on this cat is too small. And no, I have never done anything like this just for a joke or to take a stupid picture. I don’t believe in creating anxiety or pain in animals just for my entertainment.

I think this picture is hilarious and not abusive or torturous at all. You’ll be lying if you say you’ve never done anything like this. It’s funny. Get off your high horses. You’re not all that. Go cry to PETA.

April 2, 2012 at 1:04 am

I’m rather certain that making a statement that everyone who doesn’t understand this cone that animals have to wear would be lying if they say they’ve ‘never done anything like this’ might be a little far fetched… Just thought I’d point that out. I haven’t jumped to the conclusion that they’re being tortured. But please, play it safe and don’t make a crazy statement like this… You really think that with all the people in the world, everyone must have tried putting a collar around a cat’s neck…?

April 2, 2012 at 1:34 am

Well, I made a blanket statement and used the word “anything” as my “playing it safe”. Ever played fetch with a dog and faked throwing it and gotten them totally confused? I’m talking about any harmless teasing we do with our animals. So, the way I see it, it wasn’t a crazy statement at all. I think you just misunderstood what I was going for. I’ve never put a collar on a cat, so I wouldn’t even make a statement infering that I had.

April 2, 2012 at 7:34 pm

Marissa ‘Riss’ Ferrell Definitely still not safe enough…A lot of people have never owned a pet. lol. I can appreciate your statement more, now..

April 2, 2012 at 7:49 pm

Lol good. I only have a turtle, but I do like play around with my best friend’s cats. Put tape on the bottom of their feet. Totally harmless but so funny! LOL! And I mess around with my uncles dog all the time. Such a sweet dog. Haha He’s so fun!

U really need to chill out hun… The cat is fine… These cones are for medical purposes… The person saw the cat standing on their hind legs on the snowboard n thought it was funny.

Josh Sowin says:

i’m not sure who did it, but I assume they weren’t hurting the cat. I have dozens of pictures of my cat where someone might think I’m torturing him… but he just does crazy things and puts himself into weird positions and places and he likes weird things. Heck my cat would purposely put his head into something like that. So it’s my guess someone did this just for a few seconds to get a funny picture. But I have no idea about the real history… who knows?

and, if u were to soak the cat, it would down size quite a bit, looks like it fits to me, shulda given it a small hair cut around the neck tho for comfort

Anita Wuest says:

Kathleen, you are only making yourself look stupid by spouting off about something you know nothing about. I once had one of these on one of my cats in order to keep her from pulling out her surgical stitches. The “Elizabethan Collar” is a medical device used by vets on both dogs and cats to keep them from chewing on stitches or scratching at a new surgical spot and damaging the wound further. Dogs normally take to them better than cats do, but nonetheless, it is not torture, it is not painful, it is not punishment It is humane and ethical by allowing the animal’s wound to heal without getting infected due to them chewing at it or pulling on their stitches.

Anita Wuest that is the problem exactly,it isnt something well seen so she truly didnt know im sure. her passion tho for not harming animals is admirable lets give her that much .i would like more ppl to care so much.kinda of funny tho ,it could appear torturious if not known .

Kathleen Grasha Muster says:

January 28, 2012 at 8:30 pm

That is NOT funny! It’s terrible! Take that effin’ thing off of that cat immediately! It’s about 10 sizes too small! How’d you like someone to jam your head into that? If I knew where you were I’d do it!

Wendy McLain Channell says:

The sick bastsrds

Terri Morrow says:

So NOT funny!!!

March 22, 2012 at 10:19 am

It would be abusive if they DIDN’T have the con on it. That IS the correct size for that cat. If they didn’t have it on the cat, it could potential scratch at something it shouldn’t be scratching at or pulling out stiches. They use smaller cones varying on the severity of the situation. It can breathe very well and walk just as well. It’ll just be a bit annoyed. Animals are funny with them on and you can’t help but laugh sometimes, so I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support this picture. Being an animal lover, I see not one thing wrong with this.

Becky Grimm Winters says:

it’s not too small, that’s just a REALLY fluffy cat.
