What the Mature Ladycat is Wearing This Spring

A friend of a friend made a flannel shirt for Minuet. It’s light and soft and, I think, comfortable. It fits very well, though I did cut half an inch out of the bottom of each arm-hole, which I think allows Min to climb better. She wore it all last night, didn’t take it off and, I am pretty sure, didn’t try to. To judge by the slightly different way she lie on her heated cat-bed, I think she found it warm, and moved a little away from the space-heater in the night.


I intend to keep it on her in the evening, through the night and the early morning, but remove it during the warmth of the day. She started to groom as soon as I took it off today. She can wash her face and other parts while wearing her shirt, but simply wearing it inhibits her a bit in terms of cleaning herself. (She is very clean and able to wash herself well; the shortness of her hair now abets this hygiene.)


This garment is just the thing for Madame, I think. It is snug enough for her not to take off, not tight enough for her to want to; easy for me to remove and put on; warm and light: the perfect fashion for the mature ladycat this spring.

  2. Am angling the computer monitor away from Sweetie, otherwise she will insist on her own flannel jammies too!
    Kudos to your friend who made this for Madame, and she looks simply adorable in it.

  4. Minuet looks so cute in her new outfit. The old saying, "The cat's pajamas" was obviously inspired by her!

  7. Oh what a fine, feminine looking pyjama she is wearing. Fits her to a T, and she looks absolutely smashing in it.

  8. Her outfit is worthy of the Coco Chanel label. I'm sure
    that's why she is showing off on the runway. Very clever of
    your friend for sewing this up so nicely.

I daresay Minuet they will be talking of your shirt dress on the runways in Paris soon and how FAbulous you look in it with 984 PAWS up to dad's friend whose done an excellent job and may just have found a way to earn extra cash if dad's friend did in fact want to sell shirt dresses why they would make a FORTUNE with hugs from dai$y =^..*= ♥♥

    1. The maker of Min's shirt is a quilter who produces excellent quilts, but I agree that she would be equally successful making cat-sweaters full time.

    2. I, as well as many others would get one to have handy just in case, even if it was nt needed immediately. LOVE it.

    3. The horrible onesie that the vet put on Katie after her tooth extraction was as though it was made for a 5 pound cat. It was horrible, and it seemed to be cutting Katie in two! I took a chance and somehow got it off her after she had to deal with it for 2 days.
