Costume Craziness

October 23, 2017 By: Summer Samba40 Comments

somali cat and tortoiseshell cat with pinata costume

I’m going to be at the cat show in Glendale this weekend, and there is going to be a Halloween contest. My human and I had to decide what I should wear, and it was between this piñata costume and another one. We chose the other one because I seemed more comfortable in it than this piñata costume. Funny enough, however, Binga didn’t seem to mind it, so she is going to wear it for you today!

The only problem is she is not as good at posing in it as she is at wearing it.

At least she is facing the camera in this one. It would be nice if I could at least peer over that horn.

You know what? Maybe she is okay with wearing it, but somebody needs to show her how to wear it for the camera!

And of course I am the only one who can do it….

See? You are supposed to show off the head part! That’s the most important thing.

Since Binga isn’t wearing the piñata costume, my human figured she would put this dress on her. It’s a little big on me, which means it fits Binga better.

I had hopes for Binga doing better at modeling in this dress, but she gets distracted way too easily.

How come I feel like I was tricked into wearing this thing?

    Wow! I would not evfur let any of those come upon me…that pumpkin costume I sported recently was from my younger years and we don’t even have it anymore, MOL! Dalton might fit in it if we still had it…

    That is a pawsome pinata though…just don’t get banged up:)

    The piñata is SO fun! You both modeled it wonderfully and we got a good laugh but not laughing at you just laughing at how cute it is. Binga looks absolutely adorable in the dress. Your human is good at picking out costumes hopefully we’ll get to see some more photos before Halloween.

    HAH! You drew the short straw and the wrong costume. Binga left in a huff judging by her tail when you got to be the pinata. That’s an adorable dress and Binga is cute in it.

    It looked like the pinata was trying to eat Binga, MOL. Now that dress on the other hand looks fabulous on her. She actually posed purrfectly in it too. You sweet Summer can sport any look flawlessly. Pawsome pics! Purrs

    I had to hear loud laughing again, Summer because of your secret thoughts! That one about the horn poking over in your direction just cracked mom and me up! And talking to the tail after Binga got the costume transferred to YOU from HER…oh that was good.
    You looked fabulous (of course) and Binga was beautiful in her dress. Suited her to a T.

    Because you were, but you did a great job modeling it Summer, and Binga we enjoyed seeing you, we thinks that while you may not have the modeling gig down pat you have pushing Summer’s buttons down to a T.

    It just amazes us that Binga, a notorious tortie-tude, wears costumes so easily. And that pinata is definitely the most unique cat dress or costume we’ve ever seen .
