Wardrobe Overcompensation

January 11, 2020 By: Summer Samba39 Comments

somali cat with warm clothes for cat show

I’ve got a cat show this weekend (it’s local, in Ontario), so as usual, my human and I picked out some wardrobe. The only thing is, this has been a cold winter for California, and I think my human is out of control with the warm clothes here! Yes, the hall the show is being held in can be chilly, but I’ve already got a fur coat on.

I mean, the last time I wore this winter hoodie, it was 25 degrees in New York! Do I really need it for a 50 degree morning?

I have to say, this pink sweater and hat combo is popular! You may remember it from my series of mirror shots in Portland.

Maybe I can just get by with a knit hat. They say you lose most of your body heat through your head. Although I’m not sure that’s true of kitties, even if it is for humans.

I’d rather not wear this hat, though.

Out of everything my human pulled out for me, I think this pink patterned sweater works the best! So maybe I will just wear this and some accessories.

What do you think? Was there some wardrobe overcompensation going on here?

    My cat people and I agree with you, the pink-patterned sweater looks best. However, Big Cat loves the white head-dress in the opening. Have a great time at the cat show today!

    Nah, when you are as cute as you and you are so cooperative, I get it. I’d be dressing you up several times a day. You’re so darn cute. The patterned sweater is my fav, but pink sweater set is a very close second

    It must be tough to choose which clothes to bring with the size of your wardrobe! Speaking of New York, our mom is going to miss seeing you and your human her this year.

    Sometimes TW will touch my ears and tell me how cold they are so I think the hat is a good idea and the sweater. Did your human let *you* pick her wardrobe or is she just taking a pair of jeans and one or two sweaters like TW would?

    Summer, one cannot have too many warm clothes! I speak from experience, since we live in the state whose motto once was “Winter Wonderland”!

    You look lovely in anything. Love the hoodie parka, although maybe over doing it for your weather and the pretty pink patterned sweater.

    We really like the sweater, Summer, and we garee that a warm hat is very important (or so says #1…).

    I think it’s a case of “I’m cold, put more clothes on the cat!” MOL! I think you look adorable in all of it, even the one you don’t like!

    Maybe your hooman is going on the principal that “it’s better to have too much than too few”. Or as the Boy Scouts say, “Be prepared!”

      I like the pink sweater best too. I think you would be too hot in the purple hoodie.

    You look good in all the items. It’s a hard
    choice but the first hoodie IS probably a bit
    warm for indoors – looks very nice though.

    The patterned sweater is really cute. How about that one? You could take them all and do some wardrobe changes though.

    I love that furry hoodie but agree that you don’t really need it for 50 degrees. The pink sweater is lovely too.
    We are getting 50 degrees too, but it should be nearer 30. The difference is that I am wearing T shirts because it is so mild.
