Every cat owner finds out, at one point or another, that cats… hate wearing things. We all see those adorable photos of cats in costumes on the internet! So, we all have to at least try to get that kind of picture of our cats too. Still, even though our cats kinda hate it, every once in a while, we still put little hats on our cats or we put adorable bow ties around our cats' necks. It's then followed by a race to get an adorable non-blurry picture in the thirty seconds before our cats knock these things off, but it's worth it. The pics are worth the madness. It's the price that cats pay for being jerks to us.

But is it really all cats who hate getting dressed up? Nope. Who could ever forget the adorable senior cat who cries when his sweater is taken off? Not us. And today, we found out that some cats - even though they will not tolerate wearing a cone for even one moment - not not mind at all wearing plates, shirts or even pillows around their necks. Sigh, cats are such weirdos. We love them.

    Purring. Actually purring. And yes, we know that purring is not always, always a good thing, but come on! Look at this content little kitty, wearing this ridiculous plate around its neck. How is that in any way better than a cone we have no idea, but we are thankful to have seen this meme, because we legit couldn't stop thinking about it for hours.

    Font - Top fan Anna Rentz Vandenhazel My Shadow had minor surgery and was going crazy with the cone, she crashed into walls on purpose trying to get it off. Then I read in the post-op instructions that a t-shirt would work, but 2 Walmarts and a Target only carried onesies and no baby t-shirts. I finally bought a 3-pack of pink-print onesies, my son and his girlfriend cut the bottom off one and dressed her in it. She calmed down once they let her go. I wasn't able to get pictures, but for a few d

    Font - Jan Johnston Anna Rentz Vandenhazel onesies are great especially for abdominal surgeries and spay. We had a little guy who had only one descended testicle, so when he was neutered, he had to have an inguinal approach to "capture" the undescended nugget. We had him wearing the cutest onesies while recovering (he was an extreme runt of the litter so at 9 months he was still a real small kitty). He was SOOOO adorable. And he loved his little "shirt".

    Font - Top fan Scott Fleming When I had a kitten fixed, she enjoyed the cone. After it was taken off, she'd look at me, then the cone, and make a sad meow. Even after the cone had been taken off for weeks, she'd still walk around like she was wearing it. OD 6 Like Reply Hide Send Message 1d

    Font - Top fan Susn Padme We had to use a head-plate for our boy too when he was neutered. Funniest thing was when I woke up next morning, there was a head on a plate looking directly at me! Like Reply Hide Send Message 14h Edited 3
