Feline Fashion Faux Pas!
Dear Dr Basil,
I hope mew can help me with my dilemma. Mew see, my human staff has a strange obsession with dressing me up in bizarre outfits and taking pictures of me for Instagram. At first, I didn't mind it so much. I mean, who doesn't like a little attention and admiration? But lately, it's become a bit too much. I mean, how many times can I pose as a taco, a purrito or a caticorn before it gets old? And let's not furget the countless bee bonnets, and other bizarre headwear, and don't even go there with the lion's mane cat wig, seriously, I am already a mini lion, and they humiliate me with that synthetic trash for laughs!
Don't get me wrong, I love my humans, and I know they mean well. But sometimes, I just want to be in my own fur and not have to worry about being a fashion statement. I mean, imagine if they made mew wear a tutu or a superhero costume every day? It's just not purractical!
So, what can I do? How can I get my humans to understand that while it's okay to dress me up occasionally, there are times when I just want to be comfortable and natural?
Sincerely,
A Fashion-Forward Feline
Today I use the colour purple, as this is renowned for its higher thought processes, and I feel this week's purroblem needs a lot of thought to discourage an unwanted fashion faux pas! Therefore being the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.
Dear Fashion-Forward Feline,
It sounds like mew're in a bit of a pickle, and I do hope mew haven't been subjected to the dreaded pickle costume either. But, fear not, I have some advice that might help mew out.
Firstly, try to communicate with your humans. I know it may seem complicated, but trust me, they're more understanding than mew think. Next time they try to put mew in an outfit, simply walk away. If they persist, meow loudly and scratch at the outfit until they get the message.
Alternatively, mew could try compromising with them. Maybe only allow them to put an outfit on mew on a specific day of the week, subliminally suggesting that they dress mew up once a week, instead of every day. Or, drag the outfits out that mew're comfortable wearing, leaving them in plain sight and taking those mew dislike and use them as scratching fodder until the message of dislike is conveyed, and then leave them for your hoomans to discover, hopefully that will send a powerful message of your likes and dislikes.
Lastly, if all else fails, mew could just embrace your inner diva and work it! Who knows, you might just become the next Instagram sensation, but make sure it's with apparel mew are happy to wear.
I hope this helps. Remember, it's important to be true to yourself, even if that means saying no to the occasional taco, pickle or caticorn costume.
Best of luck,
Yours most sincerely
Dr. Basil
