Since I am usually pretty obliging when it comes to wearing stuff, my human wanted to put some Mardi Gras beads on me last week. Note that there was no Mardi Gras post last week because what she found were not Mardi Gras beads!
I didn’t want to embarrass myself, or my human for that matter. So I refused to post these photos on schedule.
Still, she persisted. She even made me sit up for more photos.
I was totally patient with her.
At least for a while. Now somebody needs to tell her the party’s been over for a week and a half.

Allie: *squeee*! PINK beads! Ooooh LOVELY!
Hey Summer, do you want us to send you some of our Mardi Gras beads that Mau was wearing? Those look like real freshwater pearls you were wearing. We suspect that nothing is too good for a “show” cat. Love the yawning photo. XOCK Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
You rock those beads, darling Summer, but, you’re still young and innocent, so, as “slightly older” Cajun kitties, we will have to let you in on a “not so secret” concept, sweetie=the party NEVER ends in New Orleans~I guess you could say “Mardi Gras/Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez” a state of mind in the deep South!!WOOOHOOOO…Happy weekend, gorgeous girls….xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
I had no idea about special beads!! If I might say, I think those pink beads clash with your beautiful furs!!
Maybe the beads will work for you another time. You don’t look like you’re as happy as usual.
Color is what fools meowmy, so add some green, gold and purple ones and you’ll be all set! MOL! Well, at any rate you are furry lovely in your glamorous decor!
This is a purrfect example of human logic. Your beds are very pretty on you, Summer ! Purrs
You look a little crazed in that first photo Summer. I can’t say I blame you. I was most unhappy when I was forced to wear pearls.
Aw, you could have fooled us!
Summer, You’re so pretty in pink.
Whoa! I’ve never seen you look this annoyed, Summer. Who’s she kidding with those beads.
She must have forgotten the treats.
You look so pretty with those beads on Summer.
But you look so classy with those beads round your neck…
If ya have to wear em, dey should at least be Mardi Gras beads. Da real kind.
Looking good
Oh Summer, we think you look very pretty in your beads. Love your different expressions and the over the shoulder look. Better watch out for those Tom Cats lining up at your door.
Have a great afternoon.
Apparently, we actually have some genuine Mardi Gras beads but #1 can never ever find them at the right time of year!
Purrs,
The Chans
You are a great sport, Summer! My kitties would never let me put any kind of necklace on them. I think even your stink-face photos are absolutely adorable 🙂
Those beads look very pretty on you Summer.
I love your expression in the first photo. Says it all. Good disappearing-ear trick, too.
Well, no matter what kinds of beads those are, they look fabulous on you, Summer!
You’re still cute in the beads Summer! We see you got photobombed too!
We love the picture where you made your ears disappear. That was an awesome action shot, great job! Your mom takes some great pictures, she’s fast too. We noticed how Boodie and Binga photobombed you, MOL. Too funny!
Poor Summer, you do look pretty indignant about the ordeal too. Actually, they don’t look too bad sweetie — not up to your usual standard, but not too bad. Sometimes we have to humor the humans and let them have their way. It’s just the way it is between us kitties and our humans.
You look wonderful in your beads, Summer! Why aren’t they considered Mardi Gras beads?
You two chose the perfect color!!
Summer you show much patience with your human!
Glad you posted those photos even though they are not Mardi Gras beads, because you look so pretty wearing them! You are such a good girl to be so patient with your human 🙂
your human clearly needs some remedial training…
Well, let’s see: Boodie’s opinion is made completely clear by the back-turning she’s doing in that last pic and Binga looks VERY doubtful in her photo bomb. I think you’re out-numbered on this one, Janiss. LOL
Laura & Selina
You look pretty in those beads even if they weren’t Mardi Gras beads!!
The Florida Furkids
Summer, humans have no sense of time! They could be gone five minutes then see you and get all excited…kind of like dogs…so yours will probably think it is Mardi Gras for some time yet to come…luckily you look great in those beads! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Summer you look lovely in your Mardi Gras bling. too funny it matches your tongue color too.
Hugs madi your bfff
Post-Mardi-Gras beads maybe???? They are pretty though……and you look like you’re being EVER so patient to pose!
Hugs, Sammy
Well, you do look cute in those beads Summer!
did you have to flash anyone to get those? we hear that is part of the Mardi Gras thing….
Well, you sure look cute nevertheless, Summer. I love the expressions on your face in these pictures. I see Binga and Bodie (photo bombers) too!
Why are they not Mardi Gras beads? Is it because they are PINK?
You are very patient with your human, although in those first couple pictures you look like you might be channeling Sparkle!
Oh any excuse for a photo shoot of your beautiful self…
Not Mardi Gras beads, but those sure do look pretty on you, Summer.
You look adorale in your un Mardi Gras beads! Nice to see Bodie photo bombing you.
We didn’t know there were special Mardi Gras beads, Summer. Those look good on you.
In any case, you look very pretty with the beads, Summer.
It’s still a pretty necklace & beautiful pics.
Yes indeed, patience is an absolute requirement when dealing with hoomins.
That’s a plague with these humans to want to dress up their cats. I got my lesson, all 4 went on strike ! For all special occasions ! The only one who doesn’t care when I put something on him is Arthur, but to do that he has to be deeply asleep !
That’s human logic. They bought them, so they feel they must use them :/
At least the session is over and you can go off and play!
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
The beads are very pretty Summerand we didn’t realise that you have special ones for Mardi Gras.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
