Yeah what kind of a nutjob would dress up their pets in silly outfits?
featherlou–be calm, be calm.
You don’t need more cats. They would complicate your life. All those trips to the vets, all those shots, etc.
Simplify your life!
What you need is just one big cat.
Now, I can get you a great price on a nice, clean, used lion…
on sat afternoon, as i was on my way home from running around town i saw… a small fluffy dog wearing a veil, and wee little white dress. as i rounded the corner there was another dog wearing a doggie tux. the human bride and groom looked rather happy as well. i say go for it!
You know…as amazingly, stupefyingly horrific as this sounds and as unpleasant as it would be for the cat(s) the only thought that keeps resonating in my brain is the notion that you have found someone like you and you will potentially make children and dress them up like cats.
I’m gonna go lay down for awhile. This thread has weakened my will to live.
Opal-do you have pictures?
I gotta scan the pictures I have of Fluffy all dressed up…

You could always make a maternity dress for your pussy.

Well, I’ve discussed this with the Big F (fiance, that is), and he doesn’t want his cat dressed up like a boy because she is (was) a girl cat, so we decided to dress them both as flower cats. (But they’re not actually coming to the wedding - the outfits are just for pictures for the Big F and me.)
Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor, what a cool idea! Can you make it a mountain lion? Those are my favourite larger cat! Can you just picture a mountain lion in a pink tutu? Of course, the tutu would have to be blue to match his eyes.
(DRY, my cat is a real coward; she went hightailing it out of the living room when I bought the Big F a really noisy laser pistol for Christmas; we just about died laughing when we went to find her in the bedroom, all puffed up with eyes like saucers, and I said to him “My cat’s a pussy!”)

It seems to my trained medical eye that you may be in the early stages of UCS (Unbearably Cute Syndrome). Weddings and cat ownership have been known to trigger this disease. Do you have any of the following symptoms?
• Making or buying “cozies” for lamps, Kleenex boxes or toilet paper?
• Ordering anything from Harriet Carter catalogs?
• Putting screensavers up of kitties, puppies or babies?
• Watching “Ed” or Martha Stewart in a non-ironic sense?
• Reading “Reader’s Digest” or “Bridges of Madison County,” or taking a “Cosmo” quiz?
• Buying either big-eyed kid paintings or any artwork simply so it will match your furniture?
If so, you may be suffering from UCS. I’m sure that the Dopers here will be happy to furnish you with antidote suggestions. Or you can join us in New York this weekend, where we will be having a “Sneer for the Cure” marathon. Fran Lebowitz is our chairperspn this year.
