My favourite kitten boy has picked up an injury, the vet thinks he was bitten by another cat and it's got infected.
He's on a course of antibiotics and pain killers but the worst bit for him is having to wear the cone and stay indoors.
i think he's feeling a bit sorry for himself.

@tdp_org depending on where the injury is, it might be worth getting a baby onesie - it still stops the cat interfering with the injury but is less distressing than the cone.
@tdp_org poor sod, getting into scraps with the neighbors... hope the cone of shame doesn't last long at least. :)
@tdp_org poor thing. They make stiff fabric cones that are a bit more comfortable for the cat. Still weirds them out though. Mine hates any kind of cone on her head.
@kura Yeah I have a fabric one but it's a bit easier for him to take off so I am holding off for the mo. The injury also seems to be healing well so I hope he won't need it on too long 🤞
@tdp_org nice. My cat walked backwards when she had the cone of shame on. Was hilarious. She did not like it one bit.
@zackwhittaker Thanks Zack, yeah...he's very much hoping the same. It's already been a battle not to let him outside and he's only been home 3 hours 😿
@bencc Yeah the vet suggested that last time but the injury is on the base of his tail so unfortunately it won't do the job. He's getting used to it now thankfully and is having a sleep on the top of the sofa
