This kitty worships the sun, or Aten. If you know, you know.
Animal abuse
Edit: For everyone defending this, I don't care if they are at the vet, and I don't care if the cat "did it to itself" (another sign of owner negligence). The owner is still taking delight in sharing a picture of their own animal in distress. They think it's cute, and that's gross.
Or maybe they’re trying to find some humor in a pricy vet bill.
JFC get over yourself. If the animal does it to itself, and you rush it to the vet like this person did, that is in no way, shape, or form ‘animal abuse’.
If you look closely, you see it's at the vet. So the cat likely isn't placed in the collar by the owner's intention.
Yup, cat got its stuck in a vase, it broke and now they are at the vet.
Wow the reposter of the image should be imprisoned!!!
/s!!!!!! Almost forgor.
I love from-the-hip judgements like this. Absolute (and completely unfounded) confidence in something you don't know. Glorious.
In the future, you can throw the image URL into a service like TinEye and get results like this. If you sort by oldest you can usually find some context.
Is it abuse if they do it to themselves?
Yes! Why even acquire a human, if you can't blame them for eveything?
The first commenter is obviously a cat in disguise.
everyone knows the sign of a responsible pet owner is keeping it locked in a cage 24/7 so it can't hurt itself
