It's amazing what one tiny accessory can do. This is the same feline who screamed outside the bathroom door this morning and spent twenty minutes chasing a bottle cap across the kitchen. Now he's wearing a bow tie and suddenly we feel underdressed in his presence.
Cats are already pretty good at acting important. They expect breakfast on time, demand doors be opened for them, and occupy the best seat in the house without asking. A bow tie simply completes the look. Now they're not spoiled house cats. They're distinguished gentlecats with very busy social calendars.
Some look ready for a fancy dinner where they'll order the salmon and send it back because the portion is unacceptable. Others look like they're heading into an important business meeting to discuss declining treat distribution and the urgent need for more cardboard boxes.
And then there are the cats whose bow ties only make their usual nonsense funnier. Nothing says sophistication quite like formalwear paired with airplane ears, a blep, or the unmistakable expression of a kitty who is about to sprint through the house for absolutely no reason.
We're also convinced cats know when they look good. Give one a bow tie and suddenly the posture changes. The chest comes out. The stare gets more serious. They're posing like their portrait is about to be hung above a fireplace in some enormous country estate.
Maybe they're headed to a wedding. Maybe they have a job interview. Maybe dinner is simply a black-tie affair tonight.
Whatever the occasion, these fancy felines came dressed to impre ss, and we'd gladly put them on every guest list.
