They'll be able to wear them again.

I made the chief bridesmaids their outfits yesterday. They are not allowed to wear them out of the house because there is mud everywhere at the moment. That said Basil has got his on and I don't know where he is. Probably lying contentedly in a puddle somewhere.





Albie doesn't know how to hold still. This is as unblurry as I can make him.

I can't look at these for too long, my stomach incisions hurt when I laugh.

These have come up a treat! I especially love the way the colours in Basil's ribbon echo those of his coat.

Yes, the choice of matching-design ribbons to complement the colouring of each cat is a triumph.

I am surprised you got them to hold still long enough to get them on and that they don't seem to mind them though. I can't get Poppet to put up with even just her proper collar -- or even let me put it on.

Albie looks like an owl.

Pud looks confused. Also a little like a Victorian schoolgirl. But mainly confused.

He looks like that whenever there is no catfood.

Ow! These make my dissolved stitches hurt too, just so funny.

Clearly the work of an experienced costumier. Bravo.

These'll look great at their year ten formals.

Oh, they're just too cute. I went to a wedding once at which a border collie was the maid of honour and she did wonderful job.

I keep coming back to these pictures. They are compelling Laura. Every time I feel the black ammesias approach I come look at the collars. I hope they get to keep wearing them.

Albie had his on just yesterday.

Casey said...

Oh thank you. They make me laugh so much. The idea of it. And that they like them. So funny it hurts.
