Crush Your Cat's Head Friday-Sharing The Sickness & The Meanness

Most of you know I have a pervasive need to humiliate my cat by dressing her up in cute homemade costumes. You can see them here and here and here. I have to admit doing this makes me laugh in that creepy silent way which then turns into laugh-weeping and then total exhaustion. Highly satisfying and nap worthy.

This Halloween Spoonie asked me to make her two cats themed costumes. She promised me photos but she is super busy with an upcoming move and has abandoned her blog to binge drink. Fortunately for all of us I have photos of Yoshi in both costumes. She was the fit model.

Kranki, these are awesome! The details (especially the parrots) are incredible!

I predict that you're about to be inundated with orders for custom pet costumes.

Kranki... your twisted sense of style (ahem, humour) is just what I need every Friday.

I'm sure Yoshi doesn't REALLY mind, does she?

That is too funny! Yoshi is such a good cat for letting you dress her in all these costumes. Suki would never let me put any of that on her. Maybe I should try again sometime soon!

These are terrific! And I was going to say what mrtl said. You could sell these. Seriously.

Ever think about making a Yoshi Calendar? Just a thought.

Hahahahahahaha

I love it when you humiliate her with homemade costumes. :)

These are fantastic! Not only for the humiliation factor, but for the execution as well.

I do seriously think people would buy these. Or a dressed-up Yoshi calendar. Or both.

Woman, you'd never have to work away from home, ever again.

You amaze me!

Yoshi sure is good, but do I detect a little, "someday I'm gonna get you for all of this" in the eyes?

I think Siamese cats are genetically patient like that. My cousin had a Siamese cat when she was little - she dressed poor Rascal up in baby clothes and wheeled him around in a baby stroller. He never retaliated.

However, while I'm philosophically opposed to dressing animals in costumes, your costumes are adorable. :) Thanks for sharing them.

Ha,ha,ha..
I can't believe any animal would sit still long enough to dress them let alone have their picture taken..

Some people don't have enough work to do! ;-) But the costumes are brilliant and you could indeed make a -- well, maybe not a whole living, but surely a very nice little side income from this. Go for it.
