Playing Dress Up

May 20, 2016 By: Summer Samba45 Comments

During last weekend’s cat show, one of the vendors was selling cute ties and bowties for cats, and my human bought one of each, even though I’m a girl cat. Sometimes it is fun to wear things that are usually for the opposite sex.

She posed me really quickly in them while we were at the cat show, but she thought it might be nice for me to model them in a nicer setting, so a few days later, she set up a backdrop for me in the living room.

I like this look, don’t you?

I like this too — it’s dressy, but simple.

And for something a little more girly, my human found this cute little gingham dress last time she was at the pet store getting kitty litter.

She had me pose lying down so you could get a better look at it. Doesn’t my tail look fluffy? That’s because I was waving it around — look more closely and you can see it’s really blurry.

Oh yeah, I also to play hide and seek in the backdrop! That was fun too.

    Summer, we like all these looks, but the bow-tie is jaunty and is our favorite. We’d be hiding in the backdrop the entire time. Looks like a great tent! Monday is Dress Up Day for Whitley, and Mom’s been going through old photos to find the rare ones where a couple of us actually were dressed. She knows it would be a fight to try to clothe us again.

    HAH! That last photo looks like you’re afraid to come out of the backdrop/dressing room cos you’re not dressed. You look good in that dress and like a politician in the striped bow tie.

    those ties really suit you, Summer. I wouldn’t worry about who they were designed for originally. Felines can choose what they like for themselves.
