Poor Charlie. He brushed up against a thorn or something and opened up a wound on his back leg. Naturally he wants to lick it to death, so he's confined to the cone for a while.
Charlie is weirdly afraid of the camera now that he has the cone on. I don't know why. In particular, he recoils at the sound of the shutter, which really doesn't make sense. But you can see in this picture that he's suspicious even before the shutter goes off.
Maybe he hears it differently? The cone probably amplifies the sound or distorts in a way that he doesn't like.
it's a giant ear horn
Maybe the clicking of the shutter is amplified so that it sounds the racking of the action on a 12 gauge pump shotgun. That gets people’s attention fast.
Please don't take any more photos of the cat until he has been de-coned.
Agreed. Cats have their pride!
Did they take pictures of the wound at the hospital?
Dug: I do not like the cone of shame.
Up (2009)
Can he pick up intergalactic emissions with that?
MEOOOOOW...MEOOOOOW....IF YOU WANT A CUTIE PIE SNAP, GET THIS THING OFF OF ME.....MEOOOOOW...KITTIES KNOW
If your camera's digital, could it have a setting to turn the shutter sound off? Might be worth doing if only for the duration of Charlie's incarnation as a Conehead.
C'mon KD, no one wants to be photographed wearing the cone of shame. Even other animals shun those wearing the cone of shame.
If somebody dressed you funny, you'd avoid cameras too.
Ahh, the blood funnel, a favorite of murderers everywhere.
