Tortie Elf Tuesday

December 11, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat54 Comments

There are some advantages to being a small cat.

I am here to inform you that your stupid elf hat did not fit.

... just like there are some disadvantages to being a normal sized cat

Undaunted, my human grabbed Binga and pressed her into service. Did I mention that there were also “booties” that went with this getup?

An elf with pointy airplane ears!

I think she is worried that my human is going to pull this out again for St. Patrick’s Day.

Somebody is plotting...

If my human knows what is good for her, maybe she will rethink that.

    Oh dear. Reminds me of the dreaded “Santa outfit” episode. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again.

    Well Sparkle, at least the hat matches your eyes…
    If my Mommy pulled something out that looked like that, she would be missing quite a bit if skin!

    Oh Binga…we might look like we enjoy getting dressed up…but you don’t see the ‘outtakes’, hahameow! No, we are actually pretty good, it’s Teri that gets crabbilated when we won’t look at the camera though!!

    OUCH. That last photo *definitely* falls under the “we are NOT amused” CATegory. Your human better not turn her back on Binga for a while…!

    I really hope your human didn’t have too long to wait in ER. Or maybe she deserved it. Tjis is not good. We sincerely hope you never see that stuff again.

    Oh I think both of you Ladycats are being great sports about it for sure and you do look so cute! I think she just may pull it out again for St. Paddy’s though…if you have a mini-mug of ale beforehand maybe it won’t be so bad…

    Yes sadly the costume looks appropriate for both occasions. My advice to you is hide it when your human isn’t looking!!! Poor Binga she doesn’t look at all happy 🙁

    Sparkle, You did a good job right away letting your human know you weren’t into wearing hats! Binga actually stood for it, which doesn’t bode well for her for the future. Tell her she does look awfully cute, though, if that makes any difference.

    I have one tip for you. When wearing a hat upside down around your neck, be sure to throw up in it. That is guaranteed to halt any further advances on your human’s part. And once a hat has been used as a barf bag, they’ll likely just get rid of it..

    Well you girls sure don’t look so very happy about that costume. the only one around here that will even come close to wearing something is Two Two and that is only for 30 seconds at the most. So we understand your misery. Take care.
