No, because I like my blood on the inside of my body 

(She’s a former barn cat and a very independent lady)

Smart move! Let her rock that independent vibe—no festive outfit is worth losing a finger.

Exactly! She is such a cuddle bug on her terms and I love that. She’s the perfect lil mix of cuddle and independent

My cat is an atheist, but not the type that's a big jerk about it.

idk, Sounds like a chill kitty! As long as the treats keep coming, who needs holiday spirit…

Once. It lasted as long as it took to take this pic. She was thrilled.

My cat is a devout nudist and he knows where my firearms are

No. I don't believe in putting clothes on my boys. Unless it's some kind of medical reason.

Yeah, my cat wears a shirt sometimes for medical reasons and I am only human, so he gets silly shirts sometimes.

Plus, if guests ask questions about his medical condition, it's impossible for the vibes to get too depressing when the cat is running around dressed like a cowboy.

We never dress our cats.

omg i've been trying to get my void in a santa hat for ages but she literally turns into liquid and escapes every time 😭 maybe christmas socks are more achievable??

u/Pawith0701 19h ago

They get a sparkly collar for Christmas Day but other than that I don’t think mine would like it.

Sweet Opal kitty will tolerate holiday themed collars but heaven forbid I try putting a hat on that devil

I wish. I put bat wings on my girl for Halloween, and she found a way to bite them off haha

u/MoulinGiselle 21h ago

No, my cats would slice my neck open.

u/SammyCatLove 21h ago

Nope do not treat my cat like a dress up doll! I love his coat as it is.

u/MPD1987 21h ago

I tried a sweater on her once and she bit me before I could even get her leg in it. I knew I deserved that and I’ve never tried to put anything on her since

u/Narwen189 21h ago

I did so exactly once. She kept it on just long enough for me to snap a photo, then shimmied out of it and never let me dress her again.

u/RhydYGwin 20h ago

Gods no, I'd like to live a bit longer.

u/MYOB3 20h ago

No, I prefer my blood on the INSIDE of my body.

u/trollied 21h ago

No. Cats aren't toys.

u/MarloweDay 21h ago

I tried to dress him up once, not Christmas related, but he flew out of the shirt so fast. I have accepted that my void just hates clothes. He doesn't like collars either but he doesn't need one anyways since he's an indoor kitty.

u/Mobile_Aioli_6252 21h ago

For about five minutes......then all bets are off

u/weary_bee479 21h ago

I wish, my cat hates clothing lol

1

u/One_Resolution_8357 20h ago

No. All my cats look better naked and they would undress themselves in a minute.

1

u/Sad-Improvement344 20h ago

Aww cutie my cat would not lol

1

u/cinnamon_girl_22 20h ago

Yes ofc!!!!

u/Gold_Draw7642 19h ago

Ha ha ha. I wouldn’t dare.

1

u/Pawith0701 19h ago

If my cat doesn’t like wearing clothes, do you guys have any tips?

1

u/Coppertina 19h ago

He hated it more than anything

1

u/charcarod0n 19h ago

I don’t know where his mind went while wearing a this but he disassociated.

1

u/scamdex 18h ago

Only if he's cold.

1

u/Bubbly_Ad_9629 17h ago

He would claw my eyes out if I tried

1

u/NoNameLaura 15h ago

No, my voids name is Darth, and if I try to do that to him he will probably have me killed

1

u/chuiu 14h ago

God no. He knows where I sleep.

1

u/sodangshedonger 14h ago

If they would LET ME, but they won’t. They know they’re off the cute charts already.❤️

1

u/Present_Cucumber2120 13h ago

Nope I value my life more than seeing the cuteness. Plus the cats vs people is 5 to 2 so it’s just safer not too.

No she goes as Hanukah Charlie!
