For many years now, I have had a tradition of humiliating my cats by dressing them up in festive headgear. The tradition started in 2008, when I found a pair of pet antlers and thought my then 17-year old cat, Katy, would look adorable in them. Since she was the most easy-going cat in history, she played along:

The following year, Willie and Kimmie got the antler treatment. Kimmie was still way too tiny for the antlers:

In 2010, we took a break from the antlers and instead dressed up like the big man himself- Santa Paws:

This year, I had a challenge with the antler pictures. Goog was out of town, so I had to set up my camera on a timer, place the antlers on the cats, and position ourselves in the chair all within a 10 second time frame. It worked with Kimmie, but when the pipsqueaks both wiggled out of their antlers, I had to go with my trusty iPhone.

Even though you couldn't see my whole outfit in any of these, I was completely antlered out head to toe. Antlers, reindeer shirt, and big-nosed reindeer pants:

Antlering Up! With Taming Insanity!
YAY!! They look so cute! Well, I mean, equally cute and that they want to kill you.
ReplyDeleteYou appear to still have all your limbs in those photos! If I had tried to antler up my tabby, I'm pretty sure I would be missing one (or all four) by now!
ReplyDeleteBut don't cats always look a little bit like they want to kill you?
ReplyDeleteBest murderous reindeer ever. I'm impressed by your skills with the tripod.
I discovered your blog through Amanda at It's Blogworthy. This is a hoot! Those cats do not look humiliated AT ALL. ;)
