Maybe you are wondering why I am just sitting here. I already knew that running away was futile. Luckily I was not the first one to be subjected to the misery known as “Halloween cat costumes.”
Binga got to be a shark. I thought it was pretty appropriate, actually, but apparently she did not agree.
In fact, within about three minutes, she was trying to destroy the costume. It was like a scene from Jaws.
I have no idea why my human thought Boodie would make a good vampire cat.
Nevermind, I take that back.
Since Boodie hated the costume so much, she decided to put it on me instead. I hoped that would be the end of it, but no dice.
My human wanted me to be a butterfly.
I, on the other hand, decidedly did not want to be a butterfly. I pulled out every trick in the book on how to not get photographed — and you know I have a bunch of ’em!
Plus the darn thing wouldn’t stay on right. Well, I wasn’t exactly helping any.
Binga added to my humiliation by making fun of me.
I think even the dog felt sorry for me. Which was the worst! I am so glad this is done for the year!
OH I am glad that Admiral commented!!!
I would have thought your excellent modeling of the vampire costume would have put an end to the torture too. ~heavy sigh~
Sparkle, you look great in the vampire costume! I think the butterfly suit is clearly defective.
Yep, you kitties did a great job of getting the upper paw on that one! Cute pictures though!
Hahahahahaha! Ahem. Sorry. What I meant to say was, I am so sorry you had to experience such trials and tribulations in the name of Halloween festivity, Sparkle.
Happy Hell-O-ween! Dear Cod thanks for making Mom cheap!
Unfortunately we humans always love to put our animal friends into costumes. Associating with us means that you’ll always have to suffer through those times of the year when there are costumes to be worn. The worst part is that we know that you don’t like it, but we just can’t help ourselves. I have to say that all three of you really do look cute in your costumes.
You poor darling. Here-have a Niptini and let Spitty smooth your wrinkled brow…there now, isn’t that better?
If the Human tried to do that to Me, the Blood Bank would be involved.
Sparkly-Sparkle, I gotted my calendar today. Tomorrow I will tell you my favorite month.
Oh yes!! We wouldn’t let Mom put costumes on us this year!! But you looked very cute as a butterfly Sparkle!!
Your TX furiends,
PS love the Binga and Boodie pictures too! Mommy loves Jaws and Vampires (although not the Twilight ones…)
OK, I totally get it. Costumes suck. I have to wear one like five times a year. Jeez. but, on the other hand, you do make a stunning butterfly. I’m glad you’re all done with yours. I had to wear mine for a photo shoot and I’ll have ot do it again on Monday. sigh.
Happy early Halloween!
OMC your expression in that butterfly costume was just priceless!!! If looks could kill! lol
YOUR FACE!!! YOUR FACE!!! It says it ALL Sparkle. And the rest of you..OH MY COD! I was rollin’ but that’s because my mom doesn’t have the gumption to dress me up. YOu all look so funny!
Sorry Sparkle, I had fun looking at the pictures!
I see the three of you feel the same way we do about costumes. Although you all look so cute in them!

Sparkle, I mean this in the nicest possible way: You look ridiculous, and I hope you gave that person you call your human a few nips and tucks:)
We were very entertained with your photo session with the costumes but clearly, you girls didn’t like them at all!
First of all, we agree that there is something very strange about so many humans’ obsession with this costume stuff. Mercifully, we are spared this, with the exception of special collars at Christmas.
Secondly, we think it is a gross injustice that your human does not to let you take part in Frootbat Friday, Sparkle. Should we start a movement on your behalf?
Purrs,
The Chans
MOL! Thankfully our pawrents don’t find that funny either. We never get to dress up or anything.
Oh you poor kitties!!!!! I am so sorry! I have a hateful costume, too. It is a devil 🙁 At least you only had to wear yours for a few minutes. I have to wear mine for HOURS and show everyone in the apartment complex.
Love, Scout
(he is exaggerrating about wearing it for hours. And you guys look adorable!!! — Scout’s Mama)
I must say – you seem to take it well. I’d be putting the bitey on M if she tried putting a costume on me. The most I’ll let her do is a photo shopped one.,
For Cod’s sake. What is wrong with these humans? Oh, wait…we know…they’re not Cats!
Sparkle, we feel your pain.
These are great – the ones that you fight the costume. You should enter Hansel’s contest in the category we sponsor – Most Resistance to Wearing A Costume!
Sparkle, I know you didn’t like the butterfly costume but you look fabulous. I think you are all really well behaved.
LOL!!!!!
Tessie wore that EXACT SAME butterfly costume this year!!! Check it out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/talonvaki/6285200282/
OMC! And she looks equally as pleased as I was.
Whoa! Binga is mocking YOU! Call NBC! Call CBS! Call the medics cos Binga is gonna need ’em. I’m glad my peeps don’t believe in dressing up kitties.
Did yous get some scratches in on your human? Me gets the clasws out and flashes my sabers in Mommy’s eyes and then she backs off!
Kisses
Nellie
PS Your words and purrs make my Daddy feels better. Thanks yous!
I’m so sorry Sparkle, but I MOL when I saw the pictures, especially the one with you in the butterfly outfit. (snicker-snicker hehehe.) If looks could kill, you would. But since you’re such a gracious lady, you won’t. I don’t know the pain and humiliation the three of you are going through because my human mom never did this to me.
I just LOVE Binga’s shark fin!!! Great pictures Sparkle, I know you didn’t enjoy them but we sure did 🙂
We’re with you Sparkle!!! Do whatever it takes! >^..^<
But how can you be *certain* it’s over?? Halloween is still days away!
You were kind of working it in the vampire cape, Sparkle!! Happy Halloween!
We feel your pain….we had to endure the same humiliatioin this weekend.
The Florida Furkids and Angel Sniffie
We get dressed up all the time, so Halloween is just another day for us, hahameow! We aren’t sayin’ we like it much either, so we feel your pain…
We feel for you guys! Why do humans think they hafta dress us up for Halloween?? Our mom hasn’t tried with us….yet….
Mum isn’t going to dress us up for Halloween – she doesn’t bother with it and at one time it wasn’t really heard of here although now there is more interest in it.
Never mind just think it’s over now for this year Sparkle.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Love the fact that Binga and Booda tried to destroy their costumes. That is exactly what we would have done. Sparkle the butterfly deal was hysterical. Thanks for the great laugh this morning. Too darn funny. Our Mom won’t even try to dress us up. Hope all of you have a super week end.
You told her! Love that firm look fo disgust!!! That costume is too stoopid fur you!!!
The look on your face is priceless Sparkle!
That butterfly costume looks ridiculous on you! Love your expression in that shot with it on your head right. So glad we do not have to get dressed up. Maybe we should open a Halloween cat sanctuary for all you poor cats whose humans love to make you look so silly for Halloween.
Oh my goodness, I didn’t even know halloween costumes for kitties existed! Sammy would rip off my arm if I ever tried anything like that 😉
our human think you look beautiful
but we also will do the same if it happen to us
grrrrrr…
That is a very stern look you’re giving your hoomin, Sparkle. We hope that teaches her a lesson about costumes!
