Cat Daddy: “What were you ordering from Amazon at 7:30 this morning?”

MERDE. I keep forgetting that the order notifications go through to his phone and not mine.

Me: “Erm …”

Him: “???”

Me: “Erm … ahem … Hallowe’en costumes for [Puppy Mamma]’s dogs.”

Him: “[Unrepeatable expletives]”

Me: “…”

Him: “Does she know that you’re buying them?”

Me: “Yes. She was going to buy some anyway.”

Him: “So why couldn’t you just let her be stupid on her own? Why did you have to be stupid as well?”

[Silence, tumbleweed, crickets]

Anyway, when he saw the photos he laughed. And, as we all know, once laughter takes place it automatically invalidates the right to criticise.

Here are the Nala the dog and Gizzy the [insert name of species] trying out their costumes. Louis Catorze, of course, is smug in the knowledge that he doesn’t need a costume because he’s scary enough as he is.

Photo created by Puppy Mamma – and she couldn’t resist including an evil-looking, fanged Catorze.

    Gizzy must be a Wookiee, or an Ewok. Does s/he have a lightsaber?

      Possibly hidden under all that fur! Would you believe she weighs just over half a Roi? 🤣🤣🤣

      To be honest, if someone has pets who are costume-compliant, it’s almost sinful not to dress them up.

        Tue, although I don’t like dressed up pets, because animals are animals and should stay that way. But this pic actually looks very cute. And complete with vampire Catorze 😉

          It depends on the pet, really. You can tell if they really hate it or if they don’t mind. Catorze falls into the first category. 🤣🤣🤣

            The only costume I could ever possibly see Catorze in, would be a Dracula costume 😉 but I guess he doesn’t need it!

              I would love to put him in a dramatic sweeping cape, but I know he wouldn’t wear it. I’ve never tried but I know. Although you’re right, he doesn’t need it!

    One of my wishes was that our Dogs would be costume compliant. Alas, the Cats educated them in the art of resistance.

      Dogs are usually better at this sort of thing, aren’t they? I can imagine the cats saying, “If you do it once, they’ll make you do it again and again. Don’t lower your standards.”
