It seems like it was only a month ago when I was ranting about those heinous folks who insist on dressing their cats up in hideous Christmas sweaters for the holidays. Well, maybe ol’ misery guts here has had something of a change of heart when it comes to the intricacies of cat costumery. I have since made peace with the idea that there are in fact a limited number of acceptable things to dress your cat up as.
That number is six. In honor of National Dress Your Pet Up Day, here they are.

Without knowing the technical details behind this shenanigan, I’m guessing here someone’s gotten creative with that temporary costume paint you can buy for dogs. Pikachu power!
