Happy Halloween

So I opted to stay home for Halloween this year, I'm just not feeling up for craziness that is Franklin Street on Halloween. While it is undoubtedly the biggest Halloween party in the country, and I had a hell of a time last year (maybe too good of a time actually...) after the week I've had with school and the endless grading that has taken over my life as a TA, I really don't have the energy or creativity to come up with a cool costume and then stay up all night with the rowdy undergrads. So.... instead I decided to have a little Halloween party of my own.....at home...with my cats....
I know, it sounds pathetic and sad (and really it is), but I don't think I've laughed this hard in a very long time. There is something cruel, but hilarious, about dressing up cats in costumes, because they are cats, and cats are independent and consider themselves to be superior to all others. So when you dress them up, not only do they look funny, but they are completely humiliated. I took some pictures so you can see exactly what complete humiliation and disgust looks like (please don't report me to PETA, I swear I only made them wear it for a few minutes...or at least until I could stop laughing at them) They may hate me for a couple hours, but after a little wet food all will be well again and they'll forget it ever happened...maybe.
I hope you get a good laugh out of it too :)
And for those who know Pookie, really, how appropriate is it that she is a witch? That was a no-brainer picking out that costume!!

I don't think I've ever seen twister actually look PO'd before, but he is not happy in that picture.

OMG...LMAO. First, where in the hell did you find costumes for those kitties!? And I would really like to know how you got Pookie chill enough to put that on her. I think I just figured out what I'm doing for Halloween next year :)

PetSmart baby! I just get the small dog costumes. I couldn't decide whether to get Pookie the witch or the crab costume, but I decided the witch was more appropriate, maybe she can be a crab next year! I also have a bumble bee costume but I lost the antennae thingys, so it's not as funny as it used to be.
