Stitch Moped All Day

I thought it would be fun to dedicate a post on Mondays to a priceless, precious photo that I've snapped. I have so many that get too old to make posts for. With that said, here is the first official Manic Monday Photo. This was on a rainy day a couple weeks back. Stitch begged, and begged, and begged to be let outside to roll around on the grass. However, when I opened the door he discovered that it was pouring rain. I think his spirits fell into a melancolic despair. He dragged his tail on the floor as he retreated back from the cold, wet stuff and parked his butt on Jax's Princess couch. And moped for the rest of the day.

Festive Pissed Off Cat

I’m not sure about your cats, but my cats hate being dressed up. I haven’t really tried anything past a hat or a collar. The hat is really a little cap that was a Chicken Halloween costume that I got for Stitch one year. I really thought that maybe he would wear it. He wore it, for about 20 minutes, then gave me the look of death and then managed to pull it off of his head. You can see the play-by-play click here.

The Chicken Hat has been dubbed the “Hat of Shame” by my sister. Cats in this house must wear the “Hat of Shame” when they do something really horrible or selfish. Like the time that Stitch spilled my nice, cold, refreshing glass of white wine (it was the last of the bottle that I had been saving for a hard day and oh, had it been a hard day). And the time when Gordita was so angry at me she beat up on Stitch.

This Christmas my sister and I found a quick joy in dressing Stitch up in some of Jax’s accessories. It started with a curiosity of whether or not her doll’s tiara would fit on Stitch’s head. Upon the joyful discover that not only did it fit, but that it stayed on his head we clipped one of her hair bows to his collar. The end result – one pissed off, but festive and pretty cat.



We did take them both off as soon as we had gotten a great shot. But its no wonder our tree ended up with only the top third still with decorations (you might be able to tell in the background of the photo). But in my opinion it is still quite a bit of a tossup between the toddler and the cats of who took off the most ornaments.
