Hatty New Year

January 17, 2019 By: Summer Samba30 Comments

somali cat wearing tiny new year hat

Here’s another thing my human found in the box with all the dresses — this tiny black hat. You can’t really see in the photos, but it says “Happy New Year” on it. That’s because it was part of a New Year’s Eve ensemble from a few years ago. I didn’t do a photo shoot on the 31st, only one for the hungover aftermath. I think that may have been the last time I saw that hat. Until this photo session.

As you can tell, I had my doubts about this thing. My human finds these tiny hats at the party store, and modifies them so that I can wear them. I think this one was her first try, and the placement of the elastic cord that goes around my chin was a bit awkward.

For a few photos, she tried placing it farther back on my head, but it just looked goofy!

Eventually, I felt like I had posed enough with this hat on.

Fortunately, my human’s subsequent attempts at making these tiny hats wearable for me were more successful than this one!

    Summer, you were a good sport to put up with that hat for as long as you did… If one of my gang had tried it, it would have been off and chewed-up in about 3 minutes.

    That looks like one for the trash can. TW tried only once to buy a hat for me from Party City. HAH! She may still have the scars.

    MOL, while that’s a cute hat we think it may be infringing on your ear posture and comfort. Kudos for taking one for the team and doing the photo shoot. You’re adorable! Purrs

    Actually I love it. Fascinator type hats are always do elegant.

    Mum says thank you for the Phoebe fur tip. She is going to try it.
