I am not a fan of dressing up pets. I think that they're animals and not our dolls, but I understand that some pets may like it so I think that as long as owners we stay in tune with the way our pets react when we try to dress them up it is ok. In addition to the two cats we also have a dog and she is the only one who gets dressed up, but that is more for function as opposed to style. In the winter she has a sweater coat and booties to keep her warm, the sweater coat actually velcros under her belly so she doesn't mind it too much, and the booties are to keep her paws from being irritated by the cold or ice melt that people put down. For the rain she has a raincoat, but that's another one that velcros under her belly and she also won't go out without it on. In the summer she has some soft cotton shoes and those are also to protect her paws from hot sidewalks.
