Kittens vs. the E-Collar / Cone of Shame

After an already-harrowing castration at the vet, the kittens come home to suffer the humiliation of the dreaded e-collar / lampshade around the neck. Hilarity ensues, but the kittens are not laughing.

Production notes: Midway through the video, I put down the camera to catch Spot who is on a rampage to get the e-collar off. Sesame is the gray one who is showing the camera who's boss while I'm distracted. (He gets rewarded with an e-collar.)

For those of you who feel concerned for the kittens: They actually managed to squeeze out of the e-collars moments after the video, and we haven't put them on again since they can't even eat with these ridiculous cones on their heads and they seem pretty good about not licking their wounds. If you have suggestions how to help them during the recovery process, please leave a comment. Thanks!

@MsNothing444 Wow, that sounds pretty miserable! Our kittens only lasted 1-2 hours before we gave up. Hope your cat is better now!

Lamp-cat is not amused?

[niftyken]

@WirlWind494 Yeah, not so much. But it was for the sake of art.
