I don't like this at all. I really cannot understand why some people feel
the need to dress their cats/dogs in clothes. (except for
whippets/greyhounds who need it.)

Saw a TV show the other day where a woman had a $20,000 wedding and
reception for her two lhasa apsos. Custom made wedding gown, tuxedo, the
works.

Only saving grace was wedding gifts were donations to animal rescue groups.

I must say the guy who had the honor of carrying the bride down the aisle
looked distinctly uncomfortable.

Ugh, that's disgusting! It's bad enough when people spend that much on
their own weddings. And I'm sure it was very meaningful to the dogs.

They could have just given the $20K to the animal rescue groups!

I'll bet he did! He'll never live that one down. And it's on tape for all
eternity. evil grin

If the animal doesn't object, why should you? (Getting any of my cats
into that sort of getup would be more than my life was worth, but if the
cat is laid back enough to sit still for it, what does it matter?)

I would question why anyone would want to put cats in clothes, unless for
medical reasons. Cats do not need clothes.

With dogs, it's mostly
about pleasing their people, and some of them actually appear to be
enjoying it. Come to think of it, I used to dress my first kitten in
doll clothes and wheel him about in a doll buggy. He may not have liked
it, but he didn't put up too much of a fuss, either.

I once dressed up my dog for a Christmas photograph with a paper hat around
her neck to send to the rescue society that I got her from to show that she
was a real member of the family and joined in with all our celebrations.
This was Trim, the lurcher, RB. Not an easy dog at all. Mega thief, could
break into any cupboard or fridge that had food in.
She never got over being abandoned and having to live wild even until the
end of her life in her teens. She never trusted that I would feed her twice
daily even though she was with me for 13 years.
