When your cat wants to share the cone of shame
No cat likes the infamous “cone of shame” — that plastic cone that often follows an unpleasant operation. But this cat decided to show altruism: he shares his cone with his human, as if to say “you too, are part of this ordeal.”
Was it to include his master in his moment of suffering, or a form of wry humor? Hard to say. This gesture, both comical and endearing, illustrates the unique way our animals connect with us, even when they are not at their best.
