Pets and Kilts

[sydnie7]

"Muffining" -- that's a new one, we've always called it "kneading" (through 50+ years of nearly continuous cat stewardship). I understood it was to help the milk get started, similar to the way lambs will butt their heads against mom's udder. Often accompanied by drooling and thousand-yard stare -- cats that is, the lambs I've seen go for "windmill tail" which is a real hoot to watch!

We do try to keep Eve (my avatar) and black/white Charlie away from the kilt and accessories but their hair decorates most everything in the house and is most likely knit into the hose and gartars I've made for Bob! Charlie was "helping" me knit just this morning. . .

There is a fellow in our neighborhood who walks his big gray cat on a leash but I've never been able to "gentle" a cat to that treatment, so no pics of the kitties with kilted Bob.

Hmm. . .Now that I think of it, my just-ordered Douglas Grey Modern kilt, with charcoal hose and brick red garter ties, should tone nicely with my African Grey Parrot, Chiyome.

No outfit is complete without cat hair!

I agree. My pet (Dustie) does her best to shed or sit (and shed) on everything. Especially tartan.

That's great! I know the feeling. "No, you may not make shoes. You will, however, pet me and let me shed on this hide!"

If animals were kilt accessories, what animal would go with which outfit?

For no particular reason, I have always thought that a full-sized tricolor collie suited the Laird of the manner perfectly. Maybe I watched Lassie too much but I've always loved the look and manner of those dogs. Excellent outdoor and working dog and a good pet as well. Plus they exude an elegance that compliments the kilted man on the town.

But neither my lifestyle nor my wee hoose allows for such, and we are presently owned by the black beastie seen in my avatar. His name is Thistle, which he thinks means "food." When, like all cats, he goes a bit nutz and starts bounding around the house, one of us will ask the other, "Did you just put new batteries in the cat?"

No thanks, I prefer not having hay fever.

My mutt Abigail and me...



I've gotten plenty of comments from the neighbors, as it's my "chore" to walk the dog in the evening, and when I go out kilted, it's usually in the evening... so I'm walking the dog when kilted quite often.

I would love to see a photo as the mental image I see is too perfect.

Me too it really does sound smashing!
