Getting Ready for Winter!

November 3, 2017 By: Summer Samba50 Comments

somali cat with new sweater and knit hat

Yep, there’s a chill in the air, even here in southern California, which means it is sweater weather! My human was picking up some cat food when she saw this sweater and knit cap. She thought they would both be perfect for me. We will have at least one trip to a colder climate, so I am getting ready for winter. Of course I had to try these on to make sure they fit. Since it wasn’t a full photo session but my human wanted to get pictures, we used the light in the master bathroom.

Ahem. It might be a good idea to have me pose so that the side without the price tag shows. Amateur.

Isn’t this much better? Anyhow, you can see why this sweater, with its pink bows, suits me so well!

Excuse me while I strike a pose! I’m pretty good at this!

The hat wasn’t quite as successful. It’s a bit big on me… but it still fits and I will wear it.

Binga was hanging around, so she got to wear it too. I think she may need a modeling school if she wants to do more of this.

    Sometimes petcretary wishes there were some girl furs here…so she could dress them up! MOL! Alas or maybe not we are all three of us boys:)
    You looked sweet, Summer and we giggled at Binga!

    Both the hat and sweater are so cute, and both you and Binga look terrific. Summer we think all your photo shoots should be in the master bathroom. The green tile really makes you green eyes pop.

    The hat … um, Binga, did you get a swelled head over your modeling gig? Isn’t that a tad tight on you? (not really, we just thought it was a funny shot!)

    Cute sweater! Today TW didn’t need a sweater when she went out—just a t shirt. That ha-ha-hat looks good on Binga. Even Pop thinks so.

    Summer, we like your new sweater and you look so cute with it on. You are giving our mom ideas…who knows, maybe if enough treats are involved she could get somekitty to cooperate 🙂 the hat looks cute on you too! we think Binga doesn’t try so hard with the modeling for a reason…

    The sweater is quite pretty Summer.
    Not too sure about the hat.
    Maybe cats are not made to wear hats.

    Oh Summer! I, Marvelous woke up to 3 inches of snow on my deck this morning! My human made the HBO sounds and left early so she could brush the snow off of her car! We were hoping this would be a regular winter and not FREEZING like last year!
    Your sweater might need a parka over it!
