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.

Suddenly, the cone of shame isn't so bad.
How do YOU like having your head in a cone, huh? HUH?! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT, HUMAN!
My friend's pupper is in the cone of shame and I can't even.
Much better than those awful elizabethan ones. I like pet shirts the best though. Also am lucky enough to have a pupper that just doesn't lick wounds. And even the rash she had one time, after putting on medication she just leaves it alone. So always try without those darn collars, my vet told me there are many pets like mine that don't need it.
Idk what's worse, the cone of shame or the kitty pajamas. He doesn't seem to be happy about either.
As long as Fluffy keeps his stoic gaze northwards the Clemens family has crystal clear satellite reception.
Dennis does not like the cone of shame.
Our cat is wearing a cone of shame right now and she keeps trying to lick her tummy.
Cone of Shame: Day 9
My cat hated the Cone of Shame after surgery to remove a tooth from his back -- here he's giving me the evil eye
The mobile ground radar was the best purchase Rusty had ever made, so far he's rediscovered 7 huge bones.
Albert isn't happy we took his nuts away...
Floppy always knew they were gossiping about him in the kitchen, now he had the sad, sad proof.
why cant we use it against the pandemic? At least people will not touch their faces. cone-5eda2...a22637.jpg
One of our indoor cats had a sore on his neck that he would not stop scratching at, so I lightly tied a bandana around it. I kept it loose enough that he could wiggle out if need be and wouldn’t choke. And the layers of fabric allowed his skin to heal and he looked jaunty as well.
DNF. I realize it's probably necessary but pets being miserable ain't to funny to me.
