dress your pets up?

[beautifullybree]

Oh poor mom, she probably couldn't handle those 4 kittens! Actually my cat looks just like yours, I'm trying to upload a pic of him here and on Tinypic but it always fails so that you can see him. I probably would have more luck uploading on off-peak hours.

I absolutely cannot wait to see him. You have great taste in cats I must say, lol! I love the gray color I think its absolutely beautiful. My boy was a lot lighter with blue eyes when born,they changed green later.

I live in a really hot area so I wouldn't dress up any of my pets simply because I would worry that they would overheat.  If I lived somewhere colder though, I probably would.  I do have a vest for my cats to walk in because they can wiggle out of the harness without much issue.  But it has holes in it that allows their fur to breath and I never walk them at noon.  But I think clothes are absolutely adorable and some pets really enjoy the attention.

Yes I will try to upload the pic of my cat, I'm having trouble uploading it again. I swear he is a carbon copy of your cat! Does your cat have a breed? Mine is a Persian-Siamese mix.

Here is the pic of my cat, finally! Don't you think he looks like your cat?  http://tinypic.com/r/24348lu/9

Me and my sister probably tormented our cats with how often we would try to put a baby bonnet on them or cover them up and pretend they were sleeping. I did grow out of that quick though. As an adult I never dress my cat up. The most I might be willing to do is try a small hat or little scarf but beyond that nothing more as she I am sure would hate it.  Cute pics by the way of all the pets, they look great.

If the animal is fine with it (showing no obvious signs of miscomfort), then I guess I am too, but really I don't get dressing up animals, with the exception of cold winter. We've had dogs that had to be dressed up during winter and they never really liked it - they didn't fight back but just stood there motionless with an expression of "why are you doing this to me?". Animals have fur to protect them, I don't believe they need clothing and dressing them up simply for humans' amusement seems a bit cruel. IMHO.


But again, if the animal seems to like it, then I don't mind.

You're cat is beautiful! Oh my goodness! We believe mine is a blue Russian mix in person he is more Greg and has one white patch on his belly. I'm glad I'm not the only cat lover In the building

He got a new shirt. I couldn't help but show it off. He looks so very handsome. He also seems to love it!

Thank you! My cat and your cat could pass for siblings, don't you think? But I think your cat is larger and fatter than mine. I want him to get more fat, but he is soooo picky! He won't eat the same kind of food if he has been eating it like 4 times in a row, so he needs to have varied food! How about your cat, is he picky? And how old is he? Mine is gonna be 12 in Nov. He is quite a senior cat now.

Have you had him for most of his twelve years? That is too awesome. My cat is 2 years old. He is definitely picky about what he eats, but to be honest most foods make him sick. We have to give him a mixture of cat and dog food or he can't keep it down. He looks big in photos, but he is actually average weight he is only 11-12 lbs. My boyfriends cat weighs close to 30lbs, and that is one huge cat. I would say their can't isn't beautiful, but he is definitely over weight. I've never been one of those people who purposely fatten my cat, so I'll stick with my 11 lb guy.

I don't recall ever dressing my cats up, even when I was little. I had dolls that I'd dress up, and I guess that was enough for me. I did have a dog at one point, and didn't dress her, either. I know this is a common practice, but I've never had a pet that would tolerate it, and I love their natural look. I think it's o.k. to do it on occasion, and I've seen some adorable puppies in pajamas, but I do think it can be dangerous in some cases. I used to keep collars on my cats all of the time, but then I had a cat that almost broke his leg trying to get out of his collar, and I decided to stop the process.

Yes, he was given to me when he was only 8 months old, that was in July 2005. My cousin gave it to me. I actually fear that one day he will be gone, because he is already old.   He also has some cysts in his ear which my vet can't seem to do anything about apart from giving him some medication to kill the mites, but I think I need to repeatedly have him treated, which is costly. So here I am researching where I can buy Frontline or Revolution to kill those mites. Come to think of it, I dunno how my cat weighs, I ought to have him weighed soon.
