I've reached a level of boredom I didn't realise existed. I spent all morning thinking it was Friday. Idly flicking through Amazon and happened across cat jumpers. So bought one for my cat. Just for something to do. I am honestly worried I'm going to lose my mind soon.

DCat was most definitely not a fan of the post-op outfit. Only made worse by then having to add a cone on as her leg also got infected, she just moped around like there was no point in life any more Sad

It just needs few tattoos and a Kalashnikov.

Seriously though, what are the chances of me posting a very random link to some chicken arms, only for another mumsnetter to casually stroll along and mention that she has not only two pairs, but a 3D printer AND had made them herself!!!

No way! I didn't know that Poundland was online! That's fantastic news as I'm down to my last Poundland card (which I have been saving to give my husband for valentine's Day!)

Our kittens has this exact brand of post op pyjamas! Their necks were too small for a cone when they were sorted.

It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.

Mine is fairly tolerant when needs must. I have been told it's not safe for cats to wear clothes especially out door ones.

My childhood kitten. No sedatives required. Just the determination of a six year old girl. And doesn't he look so pretty in his little floral dress with his bollocks hanging out! He was ahead of his times, obviously.[/quote]
Nothing beats the determination of a six year old girl Grin. I guess being handled from a young age, including in that important socialisation window, renders a cat much more placid and accommodating. I bet he was a lovely cuddly cat when he grew up although more inclined towards trousers?

EachBleachBlairTrump · 12/02/2021 15:24

A few years ago my cat had to have a scan and had to be substantially shaved, it then snowed and he wanted to go outside but I was worried he'd get cold so I got him a cat jumper. Not only did he not object, but to this day he brings it to me and then rubs his face against me until I put it on him, and then he goes and has a nap in it. I can only assume he does it when he is a bit chilly

AlfonsoTheTerrible · 12/02/2021 15:39

Love the photographs!

All that I can offer is a video of a chicken wearing trousers: .

Janegrey333 · 12/02/2021 15:55

Thank you for the pics. Those cars are sooooooo sweet and funny.

Yes my DC used to dress them up in dolly clothes and pop them in the pram, they never seemed to mind.

What's your record number of items?

I play this online with one of DP's best mates (as in we send each other photos and try to outdo one another - I usually win because my cat's a dork who revels in the attention, whereas his is half a bag of crunchies away from eating his not-quite-dead-corpse at any given time).

It's quite possible to get something resembling a Caddis grub if you put your mind to it and the idiot animal has had a share of some fresh meat about an hour previously.

Ah , with guinea-pigs because they are thick as mince very good natured and non bitey (with the adavantage of being open to bribery) we could balance a hat on their tiny fuzzy little bonces and quickly photo before they threw them off .

My DS (21 and should know better) suggested a jumper for our cats .
Only if you're bored of having skin DS

Gorgeous guineas!

I'm a little worried that Op is so quiet and suspect she may have been killed by her cat Shock

SmileyClare · 12/02/2021 19:03

The poor chicken in trousers! Just running around thinking What the Hell is wrong with my legs today.

Update!!

The jumper came, shoehorned dcat into it, however it turns out she is a little, erm, husky to fit into it. After staring at me angrily from her basket looking like a black and white sausage squeezed into a tight pink condom I took it off. Dcat shot upstairs and still isn't speaking to me.
