Today’s truth: I like to dress my cats up. Yep. I’m THAT crazy cat lady. There are the tiny antlers purchased last year for a wee bit of kitty Christmas cheer. There have been fancy collars and the threat of cute little sweaters (to which Sweetie says NO.) So imagine my delight when I saw THIS in my email inbox this morning, via my daily Etsy emails (you get those right? If you don’t, you really really should!)…
Yep. That’s right. A swanky little hat for my sexy little cats. (Rhyming quite deliberate, albeit awful, btw.) Courtesy of CatAtelier. I actually squealed just a little when I saw it. The little poorboy cap is absolutely perfect in every way. And the model has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi about him (a look that says, “oui, c’est vrai – je rock ce chapeau. Tu donne moi un poisson?”)
(PS – for anyone who is actually fluent in French, please pardon any grammatical errors above – grade 12 French class was a looong time ago.)
Also available through CatAtelier is this sweet little white beret…
It’s fully-lined for those extra chilly winter mornings at the front window. The matching scarf is also avail. Of course. :)
And to satisfy your cat’s inner James Bond, there’s always this untied tuxedo collar…
Kitty. James Kitty. Catnip; shaken, not stirred.
So will I be purchasing a fancy little herringbone cap (or a lovely white beret, or a super cool tuxedo collar) for my kitty crew? Likely not. Given that I haven’t yet played dress-up with the new kittens, I’m not sure if they’d really be into it (although don’t doubt that I really do plan to try!) And at $68 for the sweet little cap, that’s a bit more than I’d spend on an accessory that will likely get shaken off within about 30 seconds (cats are a bit houdini-like when it comes to quickly removing a hat/fancy collar/pair of miniature antlers…)
But I can dream of cats in herringbone caps, can’t I? Just think of how adorable dear Irwin would look in a little poorboy cap…
Yep. That’s his “please don’t dress me up mom” look, I’m pretty sure. Little does he know, there’s only four more months to go until the antlers come out. He’d make the cute little reindeer methinks. :)
