Hello, Lantus Kitties!
If your beans are nearby, ask them to exit the room while you read this.
I've had my 12 mg of Tramadol, so am ready to share some info with you.
At some point in time, you may have the bad luck to be forced to endure an Elizabethan Collar.
Some call it "The Cone of Shame", but i have chosen to take a more positive view.
MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU!!
While not the most attractive or comfortable summerwear, there are some benefits to this device that may not be readily apparent to all.
Once you realize that the floor and all other areas outside your 12 inch visual radius HAVE NOT disappeared...you are ready to venture on.
First and foremost...piteous meowing is an absolute must. No need for your human to think that you are acclimating.
Second: the vet's instructions will say "move food and water dishes away from the wall so pet can access them easily"
BULL!! make 'em hand feed you! It's the least they can do.
Third: Are the humans wearing shorts? Yes? well...there you go...the human calf, thigh, or ankle is a perfect target for the collar's edge...trust me!
It'll get their attention back on you where it belongs.
Fourth: any time you bump something audibly with the collar (and you will)...either moan or sigh loudly and fall over on your side...
they'll come a'runnin'!
Fifth, but possibly most importantly: at some point after you don the collar, your beans will stop staring guiltily at you. They may sense that you
are going to survive the experience, or just let their attention wander (they have short attention spans).
This is your moment. Find the piece of furniture most crowded with glassware, knick knacks, or other belongings...hop up there and
SWEEP IT CLEAN!! Swing that collar up, down, and all around and declare your dissatisfaction through BREAKAGE!
It's your duty...They need to think about what they have done!
Last but certainly not least...Mardi Gras Beads or Dreadlock Wigs...YES!
Blonde wig...not so much...
Binks
(who had his claw excised today and is on
12mg tramadol/50 mg amoxicillin BID and in a collar for 7 days to stop toe infection from worsening)
