Cat Hat Fashion FAIL

May 14, 2019 By: Summer Samba37 Comments

It's a cat hat fashion fail, when the strap does't fit a small kitty head

When you saw yesterday’s post, you probably thought I was saving the straw hat because it was so cute on me. Plus May 15 is Straw Hat Day. Well, I regret to tell you that you were wrong on all counts. The chin strap to this cute hat was way too big for my tiny kitty head!

Weirdly, this isn’t even a dog hat. The label said specifically that it was a cat hat! What kind of cat, I don’t know… a mountain lion maybe?

Because the chin strap did nothing to keep the hat in place, I had no idea what it was going to do! It was so frustrating, as you can tell by my expression.

I tried putting it over the other ear, thinking that might help… but of course, it didn’t.

At least I got lots of treats for all my troubles!

Don’t worry, all is not lost with this cute hat. My human just needs to fix the chin strap, and I’m sure it really will look awesome on me.

    I think it needs ear holes. It’s cute anyway!

    It’s such a cute hat! Maybe your human can shorten the strap or stick some elastic in it?

    Not too big at all. Maybe just a strap adjustment

    At least you were able to get some great fail photos out of hat chin strap! That is a rather large strap for a hat made for a cat. The hat will look super cute on you when your human fixes the strap. 🙂

    I was so busy looking at the hat and that only half the pics had secret messages that I almost didn’t see the pretty dress. Can’t quite believe that today being Straw Hat Day this post was a coinkydink.

    Yes, it looks as if a bit of cutting and
    sewing should do the trick. It should
    look good with most any of your pink
    summer clothing items.

    I think over one ear could be a new fashion trend.

    It looks like the wandering hat for the time being, but we’re sure that your clever human will find a good solution!
