I think it’s really sweet! They did it as a fundraiser for a local shelter, and I love this myself because there is no way my own cat would go for that tiara, gown, or remote-controlled mini-Bentley ride.

I think its great. If they wanna do it, and have family/friends willing to come. We have out & out, fancy dress, Bow-Wow Balls here. I had, now kids have, a circle of people who are pet parents. I used pick up amenable dogs up at the shelter, I knew and loved. To give them a play date out. We’ve had fights, runners, ruined shoes and pukers (jeez, sounds like the grand-wreks) The food was all dog friendly, even the people food. Except the beverages( 🍺). Over the years we had the Ball there have been a couple we absolutely would _not_ ask back. A cat with the Quinceanera is a hoot. I’d go. Specifically because it helped save a Cat rescue. The YouTube is cute. ---

Any cat I’ve known would have hated that. But I suppose that particular cat is, if nothing else, used to being made to wear clothes. And it does seem to have come out well for the animal shelter, which is a good thing. ---
