Dressing Up Kitty

[andrew021]

Look at this link, think it would put anyone off dressing up their cat.

I think the Leopard hat and shawl is hilarious

[Mags]

:lol::lol::lol: Do people actually buy those for their poor cats! :shock:

I thought Anne's Housekeeper Package was a scream!! :-D

[andrew021]

I think it must be a Japanese web site as the prices are in Yen.

Notice the cats ears on some of the Pics, they seem to have been cut down, dont particularly like that, mutilation for the sake of mutilation.

Never been a fan of dressing up animals, feline or canine.

That is hilarious!

[alexgirl73]

Where can I buy some? lol! Must admit they are cute, but as it says on the site, only for occasional photo opportunities. I have seen little santa hats which I fancy getting to take Christmas photos with, but these take it to a whole new dimension

[andrew021]

I tried to put a collar on Jet when she was at least 8 months old (thats when I got her), the hassle trying to get the thing on and when finally it was on she rolled about the floor trying to get the thing off.

Imagine the fun trying to put one of those costumes on her or even a santa hat.

No, not nice.
A Barbie doll is for dressing up, not a cat (which doesn't mean to say I don't remember putting baby clothes on my poor 'Poo'ee' and stuffing him undr a blankie in my dolls pram. But I haven't done that for at least 6 weeks....)

[Naomi]

Gawd my cat's would probably scram my eyes out if I tried to dress them up :shock:

[Moli]

Must admit, I don't like to see animals dressed up,it makes a fool of them....

[andrew021]

Do agree with you Moli, but the pictures are funny.

I agree with Kim & Moli on this one. You go into shops now and there are dog and cat clothes on the hangers and it makes me feel sick when you see these poor animals with clothes shoved on them making them look like a fool. Molly wouldn't let me go near her if I was armed with any kind of outfit anyway but I wouldn't want to put her through the stress of having the clothes on! :roll: I was flicking through the channels this morning to see cats in the audiance with their owners and there was a siamese looking like a waiter with it's outfit on and a lead on, the lead looked fine so it didn't run off but the clothes that's another story!!
Funny Pictures though :lol:

[Emm]

I don't think it makes the animal look a fool. I think as long as the animal doesn't mind there is no harm - there are loads of animals that love the attention and they look cute. My own cats would not like it but they do wear bandannas occasionally and don't seem to mind and my dogs definately don't mind getting dressed.

So long as the animal isn't being forced into anything I don't have a problem with it.

[Kim]

Cats don't need clothes - they are born with their own gorgeous fur coat!! :-D

that certainly brings back memories of when i was a kid, my sis and i used to dress our cats in bonnets and tops and they would lie down in our prams and we would walk through our street and neighbours would say lets have a look at your babys thinking they were dolls, they had hell of a shock when they saw they were cats they couldnt believe it they never ran off just stayed put lol.

[alexgirl73]

Aww tracy. Cassie looks cute. Naughty Leanna for dressing her up though, lol!

[binza]

hi alex
she did it upstairs in her bedroom while i wasnt looking i had a bit of a shock when she brought her down, i had to take some pics though cassie wasnt bothered by it luckily.

I dont agree with people dressing their animals up although some pics do look funny and cute, it is an unecessary practice. That said I have taken one or two photo oportunities in the past.

[stompin_sarah]

that is funny but its also ridiculous...trust the foreners to do stupid stuff like that!

[dandysmom]

Sarah, stupidity has no geographical boundries! Dogs don't seem to mind looking silly; most cats do !!

[dandysmom]

Although, I must admit I have an old black and white picture of my cat when I was about 7 years old, wearing a baby bonnet in a crib..and looking extremely cross....:roll:

[CathyW]

when i was little about 5 i remember dressing my cat up in a bay cardigan, he lay in my dolls pram for hours LOL but i must admit those cats didnt look too happy, but the discriptions where very funny.:lol:

[charliebubs]

I do think that it's daft and unnecessary in cats. I can understand dogs having little coats for when they go out in the cold or wet, as long as they have a practical purpose and not just to dress up the dog.

Having said that.........when I was in New York last year there were loads of dogs and cats dressed up and I did buy a little pink jumper just to see if I could get my cats to wear it........only for a photo, not all day. I put Abi in it the other day for about two minutes and got some really funny pics. They are on my phone, but I'll try and put them onto the PC tonight and show you.

Generally though, I think dressing up is a no, no.
