Oh, to be a tuxedo cat, looking fancy all day without ever having to worry about what to wear...

I have my cousin's wedding coming up this November, and I've already started thinking about what I'm going to wear. I need to find something nice, figure out what shoes to wear, make sure everything matches, and probably spend a long time getting ready on the actual day. Guests have to dress according to a colorful dress code, so I'm wearing a lilac dress. I already solved the most important part of the outfit; now all that's left is to find proper shoes that match and glamorous accessories to elevate the look. 

Then I look at tuxedo cats and realize how unfair life can be. These little goofballs wake up every morning looking like they're ready to attend a wedding. They don't need to be trying on different outfits, and they surely don't worry about whether their shoes match. They were literally born ready for a black-tie event. And they don't even have anywhere to go! Imagine having a perfectly good tuxedo and using it to spend the entire afternoon sleeping on the couch. I envy them a little. Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide which pair of shoes will be comfortable enough to survive an entire evening of dancing. Because that's what really matters. A pair of shoes can be perfectly elegant, but if they won't let me dance, I'm not putting them on. I need shoes that align with my needs. And my needs involve dancing all night long.
