Mer-Cat

April 24, 2017 By: Summer Samba36 Comments

somali cat in mer-cat outfit

Are you as puzzled by this costume as I am? I gather I am supposed to be a mermaid… or rather, a mer-cat.

It totally makes no sense. I mean look at that tail, compared to my tail.

Do you know what’s even stranger? This isn’t a costume my human bought for me! It’s a hand-me-down from Sparkle. Can you imagine her in this getup? Well, if you clicked on the link, you didn’t have to imagine it. You could see for yourself.

I usually like the dresses and costumes my human has me wear, but I am really not sure about this one! I would like to know who dreamed this up.

At least I can still look cute, even in this ridiculous outfit.

    It’s interesting! There is a parade in Brooklyn called the Mermaid Parade (or something like that). That would be the purrfect costume to wear for that! We’re going to see Sparkles photos in the outfit. .

    Um…that tail…OMC! Yours does not need to be hidden. And petcretary nearly choked on her tea when she saw the bikini top part…MOL! But having dissed this mercat outfit, we do see how its pretty for your eyes and a nice contrast to your furs.
    And we have to say that we think you posed way sweeter than Sparkle who had a stink eye, and Binga was PB’ing her as well, MOL!

    Maybe a dress with mercats and mermaids on the fabric instead? Yes, way better!

    Summer, I think you ROCKED the mer-cat outfit, even better than Angel Sparkle did! The green is purr-fect against your furrs, and your eyes look even more gorgeous.

    Well it matches your eyes……it’s sparkly……but other than that, we don’t get it either. Not exactly a kitty-friendly kind of outfit – your tail is like a gazillion times prettier than that costume one…..I say put this one back in the closet and let it gather some dust! You look like you’re at a loss to figure it out too Summer!

    Hugs, Teddy

    Yes, we do like some of your other dresses much better. And your tail is gorgeous. So stick to the other ones.

    I hate to say it Sweetie, but that dress doesn’t do you justice at all. You are much prettier than it. In fact, it wasn’t all htat great on Sparkle either. Me think she was just putting up with it so not to hurt your human’s feelings. Sometimes a cat has to do what a cat has to do for the human.

    Summer, that is really silly, but you do look cute and the green of the outfit makes your eyes pop. That’s always a good thing. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo & Cooper Murphy

    Going back a couple of days to your USC visit: I’d love to see you in a USC Song Girl outfit, or just a cheerleader outfit! (Please look up “Hello Kitty, Cheerleader Cat.”)

    Oh my – I do love that last photo! But you are so right, that costume is ridiculous. Does the Salvation Army take cat clothes donations?

    […] I’m not sure what was happening here! Maybe it was my statement on this silly costume I had to wear. […]
