Calendar Prop Audition Number Two

July 24, 2019 By: Summer Samba37 Comments

somali cat modeling Halloween outfit

I think I liked this Halloween setup better than the last one. The dress came from a vendor at the Pet Expo in April. The hat came from Ms. Formaldehyde, who my human met at the San Diego Cat Show in January. The candle prop came from my breeder. It did take some work to get everything right, however!

My human just had a temporary chin strap clipped onto the hat so it didn’t always stay like it should.

In fact, sometimes it took on a life of its own!

This happened several times. I was beginning to get a complex.

My human tried putting the hat on me several different ways. I bet you can guess that this was one of the ways that didn’t work.

And, um, yes, this definitely didn’t work out!

    I LOVE the dress and hat and thank goodness I got here in time to see this blog today. Been incredibly busy. I love your thoughts…they get me smiling along with mom, every time. And your companion there with the green eyes and bristly coat…I LOVE that! And what you said!

    The first photo is my favourite. I think Binga must have sent that black cat to photo bomb you.

    The comment hug up a long time. I came back to see if it ever took and it didn’t. I had said that you made my mom grin all the way around her head! Thank you for making her laugh and enjoy herself today Summer. You]r thoughts always make her smile but the combination of the captions, thoughts and the pictures was a total complete winner!
