Those are cats thinking "I'm going to have your throat out for making me wear this" It looked to me as though the cat/cats were one of the exotic breeds with what is called folded ears. All cats do not hate being dressed up. When my sister and I were about 8 and 10 years old we had a cat that we would dress in doll clothes and then push it around the neighborhood in our doll buggy he was very patient about it and even took a nap during the "ordeal". I think you are stirring up a "tempest in a teapot" relax. I am an animal lover also but I don't think the cats are being abused and the advice recommended taking it off after a short while. Celia |

Sorry to be so late in entering the discussion. I was away for a few
weeks. My friend sent me the English translation of the Japanese page with the cat costumes about a month ago: http://www.petoffice.co.jp/catprin/english/#hiyoko As other people mentioned, the cat model is a Scottish fold so its ears are normally in the annoyed cat mode. The translated page suggests that you put the costumes on the cats for photos and not leave them in the costumes. Other than dignity-wise, I'm sure no cat was harmed. ;-) Michele, I hope you will stay with the group. My friend who sent me the link is an animal lover and wildlife rescue worker. She likes the page too. I thought the pictures were funny as anything. I have one cat who would tell me where to take any costume I would try to put on her. She might even return the costume to me in shreds. I have another cat who allows my two girls to dress her, carry her about in a doll bed, push her in a doll carriage. She loves the attention. I'm sure you know as well as I do that some cats like this sort of thing. Others don't. Just like people, they have different personalities. Maybe I'll make Midnight (tolerant cat) a fancy collar for Halloween. This is a good group and I hope you will stay and join in. Welcome. Marilyn |
