Cats are lovely as it is but there is no end to human fantasy. Dressing up your cat in various costumes to make it look a real beauty, is quite a fad among the cat breeders and owners. Cats don’t need to wear clothes everyday and they don’t like to do so too. Cats are used to roam about as they are with their perfect agility and grace on normal days and might not feel comfortable in a dress but you can cajole a cat to wear a dress on special occasions such as her birthday and take your shots in a number of poses to fill up your memories and then remove the clothes immediately, before she gets too irritated and aggressive.
Just like our costume parties, a cats’ dress is only limited in colors, styles, designs and patterns to human imagination. The felt can be used for making the dress while easily detachable Velcro head and neck ornaments add to the beautiful look too. You can dress up your cat as a princess or a frog or a chick with cute pop impressions that will look quite funky. Add fake red hair to a red scarf and tie it around your cat and give your Red Riding Hood a basket with food to complete the look. You can add a cotton blouse for the consistency in the appearance. The soft cloth finds favors with cats. A single shawl can be used to dress your feline beauty too.

Choices in dog clothes range from winter sweaters to football jerseys and summer tees. You can get a set of flannel PJ’s for bedtime or a terry robe for after bath. There’s even an entire line of Harley clothes for dogs, complete with leather cap and studded collar. Dog costumes made for parties and holidays are just too cute for words.
If you really want your gift to be a hit with admirers, accessorize. Try a designer dog collar and maybe a cool pair of sunglasses–they make them just for dogs. And I recently heard that leg warmers are making a come back.
Got a mischievous sense of humor? There are some really creative doggie costume out there that are good for a chuckle or two.
There’s really only a couple of rules you’ll need to keep in mind when shopping for dog clothes:
One is that if the dog in question is an avid chewer, you should avoid buying him anything tempting. Shiny buttons, fringe, and feathers are examples that come to mind. An object that can easily be chewed off and swallowed is a choking hazard and can get stuck in the dog’s digestive tract.
The other rule is that any dog, no matter how tolerant, will be more comfortable wearing clothes that fit. Proper fit typically requires measuring from the dog’s collar to the base of her tail for length. Most garment’s girth can be adjusted with velcro tabs, but could still be an issue with a barrel-chested breed such as a bulldog. Measurements are typically in inches.
Remember that a dog will never “diet down” into an outfit that’s too small , or — unless you’re shopping for a puppy or a pregnant female — “grow into” an item that’s too big.
And one more thing–if you’re handy with a sewing machine, you can make your own dog clothes creations.
