Dressing Cats in Outfits is APPARENLTY the Fastest Way to be Clawed to Near Death
This picture is EXHIBIT A of why you cannot dress up cats in outfits. They do not like it the way a dog will sometimes put up with the same shenanigans. The picture to the left is of my friends cat, who was less than amused at being dressed up for a celebration.
In my experience with shopcat, buying anything that you know goes against the nature of a cat (like a leash/harness) will always be met with frustration and a waste of money.
Larger pic after the jump, because you KNOW you’ve got to see this cutie closer up.
Do you dress your cat or dog up in outfits? Does it go over well?

I've never dressed up my cat in anything. When she was a kitten, I tried to put a flea collar on here and the result was horrible. One time, I was able to put a sequined kerchief around her neck. We were both shocked when it happened. Then she quickly tore it off and gave me the look of “don't try that again.” I haven't since.

That picture is adorable and hilarious and sad. My cat is more of a chewer than a clawer, so I know in a matter of seconds, she would wiggle out of and chew up anything I tried to put on her! Then she'd start biting me. Like, “I will rip out your hair and chew your face until I draw blood' kind of biting, not 'look at my little tiny teeth aren't I cute' bites.
Plus, I just think it is mean to dress up animals. Even dogs. There is NO way they can like it, regardless of what people tell themselves. My mom's friend once dragged her into this dog store that had a $25,000 dog wedding dress! That right there is INSANITY.

A dog wedding dress for 25,000? That's like the Princess Diana dress of dog wear. Holy cow.
Shopcat likes to bite and claw and generally draw blood – but only when she wants to play. She doesn't realize I am fragile. Earlier I was watching Father of the Bride in a recliner and she sat on the recliney footstoop part and watched with me. Sometimes when I'm sitting there she'll jump up from the side like a SHARK and bite my arm and run away. So freaking crafty!
I used to try to get her to go on one of those outside leashes, but she wouldn't have any of it. I have the scars to prove it!

This is really fancy, I am not sure that cat will like it. Usually cats are very independent animals and i have difficulties to deal with them.
