Thanks For Nothin’ Thursday

October 3, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat42 Comments

Yes, this is my resting grumpy cat face

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.

At least she is too stoned to annoy me.

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?

    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?

    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!!!

    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.

    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…

    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?

    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. 😉

    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!

    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 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.
