It’s Reigning Cats and Dogs (Classic PGC)
Posted in Podcasts on July 12th, 2007
Our pets are our children, more than ever before. Barb and Susie look at the pet owning trends and statistics, the increase in pet memorializing, pet accessories, pets AS accessories, and what it says about us. And check out the funniest cat clothing site ever, Cat Prin, a Japanese company determined to get your cat into a dress. Glamourdog.com will knock your frilly socks off. Then there are the new hybrid dogs: Pookimo, Shepadoodle, Torkie, and say it isn’t so, the Saint Berdoodle, yes, that’s a poodle mated with a Saint Bernard.
Traci says:
I have to disagree with your latest episode — you said cats won’t put up with being dressed up. Well, my DOG doesn’t and has never liked to be dressed up, but my cat, Coon (who is no longer living :() used to LOVE to be dressed up in Cabbage Patch Doll clothes and carted around in a handbag a la Paris Hilton’s dog. She would purr the whole way through!

I’m glad to hear that Traci - that means there is still hope for dressing up our cat Luke for Halloween! I’ll just tell him what you said!

I cannot stop laughing at those poor kitties on Cat Prin! I have cats myself, and mine would become quite vicious if I dressed them up as such (although I’ve given them coffee filter hats before to see if they’d stay….).
Great podcast.
I don’t understand the accessorization of animals. It’s insame.
Also, 2500 yen would be about $22 or so.

Aren’t they a stitch? Our male cat won’t stand for any clothing or hats, and I would love to dress him up! Cat Prin is definitely the answer to a sad day. Thanks for listening!
