Cat uses collar to drink

On those those rare occasions when I think ‘my cat is STOOPID!’ (of course I would never say it, and as far as I know my cat can’t read. At least English) I’m going to remember this clip of cat uses collar to drink because the cat with the collar is resourceful – and just so dang cute!

Meanwhile, less rare are the times when I think humans ARE stupid, especially myself.

BTW, I wondered about the collar the kitty is wearing in the video. I didn’t even know what the collar is called. The collar this poor guy is wearing is called an Elizabethan collar, better known as an E-collar.

it’s used on a cat who has an injury, or had surgery, to protect the wound so that the cat can’t lick it or scratch at it, enabling the wound to heal. Apparently it’s not so easy to properly put an E-collar on a cat yourself. Your vet really should do it – which means it stays on your cat for as long as the healing process takes.
