As much as our cats might hate going to the veterinarian, it is an important part of the routine. We have to make sure they’re not diseased, infected, or otherwise unhealthy, and that means putting them in the infamous cone of shame sometimes. Be it so that they stop licking parts of themselves, or that viruses don’t spread, or even something as simple as encouraging them not to scratch or lick an injury. Either way, it’s a common practice in the vet community, and it’s often very amusing to us pet owners.<\/p>\n

Why? Well, because the cone of shame, as the name indicates, is very effective at shaming the pets. And cats, being the kind of holier-than-thou pet that they are, respond to them so strangely and unusually that you can’t help but laugh. Beside,s having a transparent cone around your cat’s head allows you to decorate it in ways that make it look like your cat has a moustache, a manly moustache, that would be the envy of all your friends. Check it out yourself.<\/p>\n

The people over at Sydney<\/a> discussed the effects of the Cone of Shame!<\/p>\n

Dog and cat owners already know their companion animals seem to loathe the \u2018cone of shame\u2019 they are required to wear after surgery or when they have a sore or itchy spot. But very little research has been done to assess the cone\u2019s impact on animal welfare.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now a new study by researchers in the Sydney School of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney has found the cone, or the \u2018Elizabethan collar\u2019 as it\u2019s known in vet circles, does indeed impact on an animal\u2019s quality of life \u2013 owners, too. The study, undertaken by Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student Yustina Shenoda and supervisors in the Sydney School of Veterinary Science, and published in the journal Animals, surveyed owners about the collar\u2019s impact on their pet\u2019s sleep, eating, drinking, exercise, interactions with other animals and overall quality of life.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Owners reported the collar interferes with drinking and playing and can cause injuries or irritation to the animal. It can also cause injuries to their owners and damage to property. \u201cElizabethan collars are used to prevent self-trauma, especially after surgery, so they do play an important role,\u201d said study supervisor Dr Anne Fawcett. \u201cBut we also learned that some animals suffer from misadventure, injury or irritation due to the collars themselves. Other casualties included furniture, buildings and the legs of owners when Elizabethan-collar wearing owners ran into them.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
