Writer's Block: Dress up your Pet Day

Um? What?

The cats would kill me if I tried to dress them up. Animals aren't humans and we shouldn't be dressing them up as if they were.

Agreed. Not the most sensible of 'questions' :(

This.

Leo wears winter gear for walking outside, so I have some coats and sweaters when I leash-walk him.

It's folks that treat them as dollies and play dress-up that pee me off.

In severe weather there are times when we do need to protect animals from the elements, whether it be a cat or a horse.

Well, I will dress Leo up for Halloween.. lol but he doesn't mind it unless it's a headpiece. Otherwise, yes he needs more than his fur - he starts shivering when it's in the 60s. Poor fuzz.

Poor kit, 60°F is not exactly cold. I'll let you off for halloween, after all I've ridden out with those silly reindeer antlers taped to horses bridles over Xmas before. ;)

I'm not sure why those folks that need to play dress up with their animals all the time just don't go out and buy a big dolly and let the animals be animals.

While on the subject of appropriate wear, I know a scarlet collar will look stunning on Tabbi Kat, but what on earth looks correct with a Tux (other than a black bow tie that is) as Jenny Cat ought to look good too. I doubt she'll care or even appreciate the gesture, but…

They have black and white collars here with stars and moons in white against a black background.. hehe. If you really wanted I could ship one out to you xD

I was most disappointed when I went into PetsAtHome and found they'd stopped doing the collars with skulls on. Now other than than the odd plain thing it all seems to be bling. Unless I find something locally before I get her chipped I might well come back to you. :D

Hehe. :-D Petsmart.com shows you the one I was talking about. :-D

[alicephilippa.livejournal.com]

And a very nice one it is too. I can turn up nothing even close. Both Amazon and eBay fail and google just turns up shopping comparison site with nothing even close. Plenty of collars with motifs on but no moon and stars. :(

Whisker City stuff it seems is completely unavailable on this side of the pond. :(

Purple, shocking green, white, yellow, royal blue. They need to be really solid, rich colours.

But what about the snake?

She's too squirmy to even think of trying to dress her up. :þ
