No, I am not happy today, not at all. And you are probably thinking I should be, because yesterday’s blog post wildly popular and received lots of traffic and comments. Tuesday’s post too. But no, I am not overjoyed in the least. In fact, quite the opposite. You must be wondering why.
Easy. Both blog posts involved cat costumes.
Binga is so bummed out, she is drowning her sorrows in valerian and silver vine.
C’mon you guys, this is setting a bad precedent. You’re making my human feel like she did something right! Please remind her that even though October is young, she has already used up her cat costume credits, and there will be no more. ’Kay?
Can’t you hide or destroy those costumes?
Purrs
Poor you. Luckily my mum (human) doesn’t like dressing cats up.
I’m hoping your human is now nursing some wounds from a good solid smacky paw from both of you…and BTW…why wasn’t Bodie forced into a costume?
We’ve been hearing the dreaded costume word around here. We’re askeered!
The Florida Furkids
I feel your pain! My human put a witch hat on me last year. That hat really belonged on her! Meow and Namaste! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini
Mum is smothering a laugh!
Hey Mum this is my heroine Sparkle here – she is NOT Happy!!
Sorry Sparkle, its shameful what your Mum did, if she tried it with me I’d probably draw blood – you are way too professional and way to calm and collected! GO for it Sparkle – next time RUN!!!
Miranda
Do it for the blog, Sparkle! What about “It’s all about the fans?” MOL! And, yeah, I wanna see HER in a costume.
We are with you all the way, Sparkle! We HATE being dressed up and it steals all our bones. Well, except Carl, he likes wearing his tie, but that isn’t the same as wearing a costume. And we’ve seen the degrading one in store for Oui Oui this year. We’re sure blood will be involved.
Just tell her that we want to see HER in a costume.
And YOU get to pick it out.
; )
Agreed! You more than filled any obligation you may have had (none) !
Now you kitties need a reward, or proper payment 😉

Sparkle, your post title gave us a good laugh 😀 too bad that the entertainment factor for the rest of us, re the costumes, comes at your expense 🙂 maybe you and Binga need to spend the rest of the month under the bed or in a dark recess of the closet…
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, HOllie
You and Binga need to put your paws down right now before it is too late!
I’m with you on this one, Sparkle. I just don’t think you should be dressing your animals up–it’s sorta weird. Well, except for Daisy–she’s known for that stuff. Who started this dressing the dog stuff anyway?
It was a cat.
we’re with you………….NO COSTUMES!!
Sparkle hide any costumes you find. LOL.
No costumes for us, we are putting our foot down.
Oh my… don´t be angry Sparkle! The life is beautiful!!!!! MOL
We hope your mommy is through dressing y’all up!!! Have a Happy Purrsday anyway!
There’s only one thing to do – design your own line of kitty costumes that show off your aww-someness! Royalty, Egyptian goddesses, smartest magician ever, things like that. It can be fun when your hoomans see how you really are. 😉
Well, sorry to say this, but we kind of secretly enjoy seeing you guys in costumes!

Has anyone done a poll on this? Merlin sends thank-you purrs for your good wishes on his 19th Birthday!
It’s the life of being famous. Did you see how the publicist made me pose with her while she modeled. She wanted MY fame to rub off on her. As IF.
Oh, the costume dilemna. Scooter and Alice from the Palace have made it perfectly clear they will not consider wearing clothes. I am pretty bad at photoshop, but might consider it just to be part of the group. Scooter hid under the bed for two weeks after I put her collar on! Lesson learned there. Alice has just too much to do and so little time and never sits still unless she is napping. Adding one more thing to her KADD (kitten.attention.deficit.disorder) would throw her over the edge. Needless to say, Sparkle, they will be happy to join the Revolution!
I am right there with you Sparkle and i hid my costumes!
I know I commented but not in a positive way – Did I? And yes, kitties in kostumes are a true horror story!
But Sparkle..you was a bootiful mermaid lady..MOL.. 😆
Costumes and cats do not go together. We get it and we’ll sign a petition if you start one Sparkle!! MOL Cat costume free Halloween.
oh NO Sparkle, head for the hills – this could be the start of a bad stretch for you….!
HAHAHAHA wait’ll you see Saturday’s post on my blog…more positive costume reinforcement I’m afraid….
But then, Jake doesn’t see anything wrong with costumes.
you can come hide with us. despite the yoda ears mom put on Elwood, we have a strict “no costume” policy here
Sorry Sparkle but I have to take your human’s side on this one…there is nothing cuter than kitties in costume! And just think…pretty soon you can start dressing up as elves and reindeer 🙂
Poor you and Binga,you would have thought photo shop would satify the the need to dress you up,xx Speedy
NO MORE CAT COSTUMES!!!!!!
Purrs,
The (forever costume-free) Chans
OH SPARKLE AND BINGA BLOGVILLE GOT SUCH A CHARGE OUT OF YOUR COSTUME POST. (because we were all glad it was you two wearing the costumes and not us!!!) MOL MOL MOL
Madi your bfff
Keep your claws extra sharp Sparkle – wave your paws about near your Mum and we’re quite sure she won’t want to dress you up again.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
No no no! She didn’t do something right. No costumes!
Stand your ground, Sparkle. If your human wants to dress up someone there is a dawg in the house. Everyone knows that dawgs will do anything for their humans, even humiliate themselves, if that is what the human wants.
We feel your pain, Sparkle,
Jasmine, Joey, Eddie and Rosie
Oh dear. This is a terrible situation for all three of you. We are not sure anything could discourage your hoomin now.. except for extreme applications of pointy ends.
We will rerun our one and only cat costume photo later this month. It is several years old, and it shows Pierre’s opinion of cat costumes. We don’t think cats need to be dressed up. We have plenty of very nice fur already.
MOL, Uh Oh, Sparkle you are in trouble now. Two Two feels your pain. You know it wasn’t all that bad. Just look at all the attention you got. Take care.
Sparkle how awful for you all to get dressed up and hope she doesn’t do it every day.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
