Cone Heads

It's always fun to have the kittens come home after surgery with their little e-collars on. The "e" stands for Elizabethan which I think is funny since it kind of looks like the collars Queen Elizabeth wore and, yes, that is apparently how they got their name. We like to call them cones, it's just easier and it's more fun to call them cone heads than e-collar heads ;-). It takes the kittens a little time to get used to eating, drinking, using the litter, etc with the cones on. Even walking around the room can be difficult at first. Some of them lift their feet way up in the air when they walk, almost saying "I can't see the ground so how do I know where to put my feet?" Some of them run into furniture, the wall, and each other. It's fun to watch them :-). It doesn't take them long before they adjust, though, and start running and jumping around the room. Anyway, we decided it would be fun to share a picture. So, here they are relaxing in front of the window in their surgery recovery room. They really are cute!
