Pepe and the "cuello isabelino"

Poor Pepe! The little kitty had to go to the vet this past week to have a cyst (or something...I still don't know what Carmen called it, and I never noticed anything wrong with him) removed from just above his eye.

When he came back from the vet just after the surgery, he was still pretty drugged out. And it looked like maybe he wouldn't have to wear the collar.

But then, Carmen took him back for his check-up, and he'd definitely scratched or rubbed his stitches, so on went the cone of shame!!


Poor kitty!! Just look at how sad and pathetic he looks! We swear it's not a punishment Pepe!! (Unfortunately, he doesn't get that, and we haven't seen him all day.)


The funny thing, in Spanish, it's called a cuello isabelino (Elizabethan collar), probably in reference to amazing fashion trends like this:
