Plesae, resist all temptation to dress up your cat. It doesn’t make the cat look any cuter, and is likely to make the cat want to kill you in your sleep. If you really want a concentrated high-octane shot of kitty cuteness, do check out [Rate My Kitten](http://www.ratemykitten.com) . ---

They are cute. I just can’t imagine my cats tolerating me putting hats on them, I’d have to have a deathwish. :eek: ---

Those pictures have been pinched directly off a Japanese site that sells those costumes. I wish I could remember what it was called so I could find it again. ---

Cats. _blech_ I really can’t stand those devil’s minions. (I ignored the thread title, I know.) But I, cat hater extrordinaire, found that to be thoroughly fun and amusing. Wish it had a dog though. ---

…especially after you answered me so nicely in the “Susie” thread, but those little babies all look _startled_, and they don’t look _relaxed_ at all. I’m sorry! I tried putting a “Kitty Sun Visor” on Susie’s head when she was just a little kitten, and you would have thought I was _killing_ her, Dude! I never tried to make her look “cute” again. Not even a ribbon on her neck for Christmas. They don’t like that shit. Better to see them in their natural state, curled up around my computer keyboard or lying on the carpet with all “fours up”, just being lazy. Dogs? Maybe. Cats? **Never** Sorry to disagree.

I think that’s a new record for changing desktop backgrounds I just broke. 🙂 I love Scottish Folds, but are they that docile? My Jesper had gotten really good at putting up with the crap my husband and I do to him. i.e. putting the sock monkey on his back for a ride, or placing this little fisherman hat on his head. 😛 He just gives us that oh-so-patient/I’m-killing-them-in-their-sleep look. 😉 ---
