Maybe Rodan would like to answer this? Or Louis Catorze? Or any cat who has had to spend time in Le dreaded Cône?

After healing up nicely since sustaining injuries from a fight, Rodan was released from Le Cône. However, immediately upon release, the silly sod scratched himself up again – yes, AGAIN – so Le Cône was put straight back on once more. 

Now, you’d think there were only limited gaddings-about to be had by a Côned cat. However, we know the full story from when Catorze was supposed to be Côned for a few days during lockdown but, because he wouldn’t stop scratching at his wounds, it ended up being a few months. If you let the little sods out whilst Côned (as we did), astonishingly, the reduced peripheral vision doesn’t hold them back. They still do the same moronic things that they did sans Cône, and probably a few more that didn’t occur to us. 

And, if said moronic things are in public and in broad daylight, Le Cône makes it a little more difficult to say, “It must have been some other black cat”. (We still tried it. I don’t think our neighbours believed us.)

Here is just a taste of what Rodan got up to, egged on by his sister Mothra: 

As the saying goes, “You can put a Chat Noir in a Cône, but you can’t make him behave.”

*UPDATE: Rodan is now sans Cône, having miraculously stopped scratching during a brief Cône-free trial. How long will he last this time?
