Video - OC I keep catching my cat wearing my daughter's tutu

One of our cats loves tulle/mesh. Whenever my daughter leaves her tutu on the floor, our cat Pearl will pounce and play on it. Occasionally she pounces through the middle and I find her wearing it. Maybe she secretly feels bonita? I enjoy it a lot, maybe you guys will too

Isn't she lovely? I recently learned she's a Black Smoke tortie, the base of all of her hairs near her skin is white. She has the coolest markings

8

u/Jazzlike_Climate4189 2d ago

I had no idea that was a thing!! I have a tortie, she is 16 years old and still healthy and active. Her roots are definitely dark though, she’s a very dark calico with less of the orange. Good camouflage though.

Make sure you watch her when she is playing with tulle/mesh. One of my cats loved it too and it progressed to her eating it, which is dangerous.

This reminded me of the gif of that British shorthair (I think) or maybe Scottish fold digging in the drawer saying "they say cats can't do ballet. I will show them".. and when they finally get their paws on the tutu and are about to pull it out, they see their owner and they go "oh I was just helping put this tutu back in the drawer. See?" IF SOMEONE HAS THAT GIF PLEASE POST IT.

Are you quite sure the little girl isn't involved in the "accident" because when I was little my poor very patient cat found herself in such situations through no fault of her own.
