Just when you thought the internet’s potential for weird cat Tumblrs had been exhausted, along comes an imaginative pet owner with a cupboard full of stockings and a willing feline model.
After dogs in suspenders comes Meowtfit of the Day, which gives people their daily dose of a cat wearing tights.
Katja Wulff says she and her boyfriend Dan, who live in Gothenburg in Sweden, are an archetypal ‘crazy cat couple’.
They have three cats, Gucci, Iggy and Zappa, but only 16-year-old Gucci finds being dressed in amusingly-long and whacky tights agreeable.
Ms Wulff, 32, told Metro that Gucci is ‘like a blob that we can place everywhere we want, and she just stays put and purrs’.
‘We love taking pictures of our cats, and have been doing that for a long time now,’ she explained.
‘The tights thing was just another thing we wanted to try. And Gucci didn’t mind at all. Since we thought it looked funny we started the blog.’
Ms Wulff, who is a balloon artist and also runs a Swedish-language blog on cooking in a coffeemaker, said Siamese and Sphynx cats are ideal fodder for dressing-up photos due to their curious nature and their need for attention.
But while her other cats wouldn’t stand for being dressed in tights; Iggy has his own hat and Zappa his raincoat.
‘But he has to, since he’s a naked cat and he likes to take walks outside with us. Otherwise he’d be cold. He also looks fantastic in Dan’s bow ties,’ she added.
Ms Wulff said that she was pleased her blog had provided entertainment online.
‘It seems that it has put a smile on many people’s faces, and that’s really fun for us to see,’ she said.
