I wonder if it's a writer thing. I have a box of costumes for my two Shih Tzus - they also have hats, tee-shirts, vests and jackets. And life vests for camping and going out on the lake. I have thousands of their pics, and (writer brain, gotta make stories up) I have invented their backstories, tried to preserve their core selves, we wrote a theme song, and they're in Gang that they started, called "The Adorables." (They like to stay under the radar when in superhero mode). They're fully combat trained but for now they enjoy fighting major cat crime at night, like burglary, robbery, caticide, etc. Hank Jefferson Parker and Gunner Alexander Parker are their full names. Hank's working on his memoirs. Gunner can't, though. He never learned how to read.

I had an idea for a photo book using my two cats, but it required a couple of costumes, which they both insisted on being eliminated from their contract before filming.

My cats were my children before I had a child. When I was pregnant, we had already set up the nursery. All the blankets we received at the baby shower...wow...our kitties loved them! I even caught Mischa in the bassinet! I was like, "awwww no, that's not for you sweet boy!" And my Thumbs tried to sleep on my big preggo belly but I had to move her to my chest! Then after my child was born, it was like I had 3 babies lol. My kitties have passed, though. But my daughter still remembers them :) Mischa disappeared, just never came back home, and Thumbs is in an urn on my dresser. I still remember the pink bow I got for my kitty....she hated it, so when my daughter was born, I put it on her :)

They love clean, fresh blankets, don't they? Haha.

No more kitties now? Sounds like you had a lot of fun with them.
