We've all seen dogs in sweaters. But I am not just talking about that. They sell entire outfits for dogs and cats at Petsmart.
Does anyone do that? What about dressing your pets in Halloween costumes? My daughter's teacher took his dog out trick or treating a couple years ago in a Star Wars costume.
When I was little, or not so little. I was 12. I put all kinds of things on my cat and she let me. I would put headphones and hats and the groucho marx moustache/glasses and then I would take a picture.
My daughter used to dress up our little kitten Sparkle. My niece used to dress up her beagle in all kinds of things.
Do you think its fun putting pets in clothes or did you ever think it was fun?

I used to live in a block of units and every Christmas Day I used to put Christmas decorations and bells on all the neighbourhood cats, they all looked great with all their sparkle...

How cute.
My mother in law always buys collars with bells.

That is pretty cold. I have even heard when it gets so cold dogs should have something on their feet so they won't hurt their feet.

no, it's fine for other people to do that with their pets but myself personally, i think it's ridiculous, my step daughter dresses her chiuahuahuah in silly clothes and i just don't see the point....i could never dress my cat up...he would hate it....


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (7334)   ranked 62 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

I won't do it now. But as a kid I liked to. Not sure why.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

it's ok to dress your pets up but i just don't see any point...some animals look cute but i think animals are better off without, after all they have their own coats already....

my nieces dress up there hamsters but they just chew the clothing offlol i on the other hand when i was younger i had a pony, her name was Missy. i used to dress her up in a pink hat, i used to cut hole in the hat for her ears and a pink and sliver cape. i also used to paint her hoofs pink. did i mention i used to get a good beating from my dad for doing so. i loved to dress up my pony and no matter how much licks i got i did it anyway. After a while my dad got fed up and left me to do whatever i wanted with my pony.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (7334)   ranked 62 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

That is funny,chewing their clothes off.
Do you have any pictures of your pony dressed up. I would love to see them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jessieBee (348)   ranked 363 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

Currently i don't have my own computer i use the work computer, so i don't have the flexibility to post a picture. But i do have pictures of my pony all dressed up. When i get the technology I'll post a picture to you, I'll get my own in a few months. Even if i have to private message it to you, later from now I'll do so.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (7334)   ranked 62 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

I'll look forward to seeing to seeing the picture.

Of course, I've dressed up my cat!
You know me.

Once I had a baby shirt that wouldn't fit
my baby so I put it on my Eb.

Poor cat hobbled around for a minute
before I realized that it wasn't really
designed for cats.

I guess they make regular cat costumes and such.
Baby clothes do fit a cat but aren't shaped right.

I think the baby shirt would have worked if I could
have put it on and snapped in front under her belly.

It wasn't designed for that, though.

But it was fun.

One time a friend of mine said,
"Animal cruelty, no! Animal comedy? Yes!"

I'm all for animal comedy, especially if you
get a pic of it!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (7334)   ranked 62 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

do you have a pic.
I finally got Sparkle up. I had to put it up under a comment but its up.
Gwen had a bonnet on her too but that pic wasn't the best.


myLot reputation of 92/100. beautyqueen26 (34377)   ranked 20 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

I saw that! Sparkle is so cute!

dress up pets although really make them look nice and cute.Its also a way to show you love to you pet.However i still feel that it is a wasting of time to do so because they do not need it due to they already got soft fur to protect them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (7334)   ranked 62 out of 774 in pets  4 years ago

still fun!!!

Hello ruthep, we have a dog and cat and never had the idea of dressing them. My poor dog is always outside the house, watching the house and my cat is a female one.
But we groom the doggie.

Have a great weekend friend!thumbup

When i was younger we has a yorkie and I would dress him up in baby doll clothes sometimes and carry him around like he was a baby. lol poor thing but he never really seemed to mind...he was a wonderful dog.

I have tried to dress up my cat ones for Halloween but he didn't like that and didn't keep it on sadThe dog i have now Saber, I haven't really tried dressing him up.

I've put a shirt on him before to take a picture but he took it off..
I can get him to wear sunglasses sometimes though and a hat! I've got pictures of him wearing those hehe happy oh and the first day that i got him my cousin came over to see him and brought him this big alligator stuffed animal.. he had it for the longest time and when it fell apart i took the head part of the gater and stuck it on my dogs had as a mask! it was so funny and cute! happy he got the nickname "sabergater" out of it too


the gater mask on my dog

I used to dress up our kittens in my doll cloths for fun. I would take their pictures. None of them seemed to mind. My dog,Chamise, I used to dress up with pants, a top and I would pin a floppy hat to the top so it wouldnt fall off, at halloween and take him out with the kids. He seemed to know he was paert of the fun and seemed to love it. He was a great dog.
