Mardi Gras Kitteh

February 25, 2020 By: Summer Samba31 Comments

Somali cat dressed up as a mardi gras kitten

My human has had this hat sitting around for a while and since it is Mardi Gras, she decided to pull it out. There is a reason why it hasn’t been seen on the blog until now.

It’s a bit awkward! It always makes one of my ears go wonky.

Placing it low over one eye was problematic in the past, because I didn’t like it. But today I was cooperative. Maybe it was the awesome freeze dried chicken treats that inspired me.

We tried it over different ears and I did a bunch of different poses.

In fact, we came up with some really good photos! Too bad the Mardi Gras sign on the hat is a touch out of focus, or this would have made a great card for my Zazzle shop!

Anyhow, I’m done and ready to laissez les bon temps rouler! Can I have my treats now?

    We really like the first photo as it has a bit of mystique. The last one with the hat is great too but you are so good looking no matter what Summer. Let those Treat Times Roll

    Happy Fat Tuesday as we know it around here, MOL!
    Pancake day!
    Paczki Day!

    (Fat Tuesday, or as it is lovingly called in many areas of Michigan, Paczki Day. This day is celebrated by indulging in the traditional Polish jelly-filled pastry known as a pączek (PON-check). The more commonly used name for these is pączki (POONCH-kee), which is the plural pronunciation for this sweet treat.Paczki Day)

    Really pretty – the colors are just right. That second
    picture should be used on a calendar or card or…
    somewhere. It is very good. You look very nice.
