Binx's Early Christmas Gift

Whilst we were doing some final Christmas shopping the other day, we stopped in at Old Navy. As we were checking out, we came across some clothing for pets that was half off. We thought of all the funny dogs that wear little sweaters and such, and then we thought, "how funny would it be to put Binx in clothes?"

We bought him a little blue polo shirt (it was the only piece they had in Extra Small, and considering the clothes were sized for dogs, that's the size that Binx needed. Yes, big fat Binx needed an Extra Small. That boosted his little ego, we're sure!). We figured that half the fun of this little endeavor would be watching Binx rebel as we tried to slip this little wonder over his head and pull his arms through the holes. And even better would be his meltdown of trying to get the thing off once we had it on him.

Somewhat to our dismay, he didn't put up much of a fight (he had just woken up, and was a bit groggy). Jess totally could've got it on him while I was filming the short clip you'll see below, but she was laughing, and couldn't hold him still enough, so I had to take over.

So here's Binx in his Christmas shirt. Click on any of the small pictures for the full experience, and leave him a nice comment on how handsome he looks.

Like I said, he'd just woken up from a nap


He's momma's handsome boy


This one shows how much of his girth is due to his fluffiness


Abercrombie and Fitch? How'd this ad get in here? Oh wait...it's Binx!

that's just training for children. they move about as much as the cat does when you are trying to put clothes on them.

You guys need to have children!

Haha, why would we have kids when cats clean themselves, sleep 80% of the day, and cover up their poop??!!
