Cheap thrills October 10, 2007 ~ 7:59 pm
Posted by Julie in : Da Cats , trackbackWhilst roaming around scenic Pittsfield last weekend, Rick and I stopped at Target. This is never good, because I always walk out of Target with three things I went in there to get and fifty things that just appealed to me as I strolled through. This week’s most notable impulse buy: a cat chicken hat. I believe the cost of it was $4.99. Pictures of cats modeling said chicken hat behind the cut.
Rick’s cat Maynard was our first victim:
He’s 25. He couldn’t get out of the chicken hat because he’s old and arthritic, so he just shot laser beams out of his eyes at us.
Joe was next, when we got back to my place. Joe wiggled a bunch, so this was the only shot Rick got of him.
Joe also specialized in eye-lasers.
At this point, I had the brilliant idea to put the D40 on sports setting. Cats thrashing about in Halloween costumes surely counts as a sport.
Freddie is not arthritic. He used his paws to try to get the hat off, which is why I have him in a death grip for these shots.
Beware of Rooster Cat! He will kill you with his eye-lasers!!
Three cats tortured for $4.99. I’d say I got my money’s worth out of the chicken hat. I love Halloween.

I believe that constitutes animal cruelty.
That being said, the only reason I didn’t buy one for Sadie when I was at target on monday was that we already own a Target halloween devil hat for her that she won’t wear.
Gawd I love it!
Certainly high in entertainment value!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
I’m afraid if I tried putting something like that on Izzy I become the man without a face!
Why do I keep hearing the chant, “DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!”?
That started my day with a healthy laugh. Remember the costumes we bought them a couple of years ago? Evil.
ESC~Who is the boss, you or Sadie? “Won’t wear” indeed. *snort*
Nancy~I laughed so hard while we were taking these that I cried. No lie.
Seamus~Freddie’s claws of fury nearly caught me. Fortunately most of his rage was directed at the hat.
Pan~Perhaps because they were screaming it?
Mom~ The chicken hat is better. Their ears actually go in it, as opposed to being stuck under a hood. Not that they like it either way, but whatever.
Joe looks pretty boss in the cluckin’ hat.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OH MY GOD. I needed that laugh today!!
I love it!!!
You know, a friend of mine gave me a Target gift card for my b-day last month. I think I know where $5 of it is going. lol
Nate and I got a healthy laugh out of this, especially Freddie Rooster Cat.
That is comedy of the highest order! Bravo! I really needed to laugh that hard.
BTW, very much admiration goes to the cleavage. And the hint of leg and shoulder. Very sexy.
Aw, adorable kitties! Props to Maynard for wearing the hat like a hockey mask. Nice look.
I’m delighted to see this because I designed the chicken hat for Target with the intent of creating photo op fun like this! It had the same effect with my cats. My name is Julie too, so felines might prefer to call me Evil, rather than you…
