It has many names. The Elizabethan collar, the E collar, the Buster collar, or simply the pet cone, is a protective medical device that prevents animals from biting or licking their wounds while their injuries heal. However, the way the critters look while wearing it has earned the device a few nicknames as well: the pet lamp, the pet radar dish, and, most notably, the cone of shame.
To explain the origins of these alternatives, Bored Panda has collected a list of photos where our four-legged companions’ expressions perfectly describe the way they feel inside the darn thing.

Idk what’s worse, the cone of shame or the kitty pajamas. He doesn’t seem to be happy about either.
