WARNING: If you hate people who dress their pets up, stop reading. Right. Now.
With the establishment of my cray cray cat lady persona, it’s safe to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in my family. My sister is just as loco over her pooch, Gunner as I am over my fur ball of a baby.
And being the crazies that we are, of course our four legged family members end up in costumes for Halloween. Sometimes even matching costumes (I mean, they are cousins after all).
There are, however, slight differences in trying put an outfit on a sweet dog like Gunner vs. a bitchy cat like Teddy (the first being that I’m the only lunatic I know who puts her freaking cat in an costume, but I digress).
Dogs like Gunner will humor you…
Cats think you’re an f’ing idiot for even trying to embarrass them in such horror.
Dogs like Gunner adore their altered look so much, they’ll dine in it…
Cats will act like the felted material is the heaviest thing they’ve ever encountered on their back and sit paralyzed (mostly to spite you).
Dogs like Gunner stand and proudly pose for pictures…
Cats, especially Teddy, would be giving you the middle finger, if possible.
Dogs like Gunner enjoy their new found accessories so much, they often forget to de-costume before bed.
Cats can’t wait to claw your eyes out once they get this God awful attire off right this second.
After our dramatically different photo shoots, it’s safe to say Ted’s outfit will be going to a Halloween graveyard (which is OK because I got it for $5 – sigh of relief) and Gunner will be wearing his until Christmas. Maybe costumes are best left to the human race…but what fun would that be for my sister and me?
Our parents are so proud.

poor Ted 🙂 in tears over here after laughing so hard at Ted and Gunner. glad I rummaged through your archives and discovered this gem of a post, Megan! :)loved the captions
Thanks!! Teddy is nice to humor his Ma in a costume, huh?! I didn’t make him suffer too long…he had it on for all of 30 seconds.
lol those captions fit him perfect
How many seconds until your teddy managed to take his outfit off? lol
Oh, I’d say about 2 full seconds!
lol that’s a record!! I remember when I tried putting on the simplest bow on my cat and she would feel like it was a straight jacket or some sort of choking device! This is a very funny post! 🙂
Thanks! Cats can be so dramatic. But dressing Ted up for a short while was worth the laughs!
lol i can imagine 🙂 he is super cute!
LOVED THIS ONE!!!! lol
Hahaha.. how funny!! Great job!
Cute!! My puppy is going to be a lobster this year!! I love dressing her up… easier than having babies!!

Girl – I couldn’t agree more. And a lobster sounds so cute!
Awe…He does look kinda mad. But super cute.
I think he secretly liked the costume but wanted to be a brat, as he is a cat! 🙂
Is Ted sticking out his tongue?
He is…he was SO mad!
