Cat Has Been Wearing The Same Cone For 13 Years — Because She Wants To
“It brings out her inner kitten.”

When Taylor, a cat living in Iceland with her family, was spayed as a kitten, she had to wear a plastic cone for a couple of days while she recovered. Most pets hate wearing a cone and can’t wait to take it off. Taylor, on the other hand, was exactly the opposite.
Once she was healed, Taylor’s mom tried to take the cone away, but the cat wasn’t having it. She would seek out the cone and put it back on all by herself, so her mom let her keep it.
That was 13 years ago — and to this day, Taylor still wears her cone all the time.
Taylor puts her cone on every single day, but she doesn’t wear it all day. She loves putting it on during playtime as a special treat for herself. It’s her favorite accessory, and she always seems so content while she’s wearing it.
“She just pops her head in when she wants some cone time,” Taylor’s mom wrote on Instagram. “It brings out her inner kitten.”
The cone is Taylor’s most prized possession, and her mom makes sure they always know where it is and that nothing happens to it.
“I protect this cone more than anything I own,” Taylor’s mom wrote. “It gives her so much joy.”
For some reason, the cone is what gives Taylor permission to run around and be silly. When it comes off, she’s ready to be calm and rest again. It’s a unique routine, but it works for her.
Taylor’s family has supported her love for her cone for over a decade now. They may not quite understand it, but they love seeing how happy she is when she’s wearing it, and that’s what matters
