February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day. This may be one of the internet’s most important holidays. After all, if it weren’t for adorable cat videos, the internet would probably collapse. There are constantly various specious figures produced by numerous studies, but it’s not hard to believe the studies that proclaim the internet to be comprised of 45% pornography and 45% cat photography. Companies like Facebook are merely scrambling for the remaining 10%.

So on Love Your Pet Day, why not take advantage of society’s cat obsession, and post pictures of your cat online? What’s that? Isn’t your cat unique or striking enough? Isn’t that like any other day of the year? Aren’t there already, like, a million hours of cats playing on YouTube? How can I make my cat stand out from the trillions of other cats online?
Well, thanks to the Japanese tailor Cat Prin, you can now dress your cat in a functional hood, cape, wig, or other fashion accessories.

What is Cat Prin? As taken from their website, Cat Prin has a very simple philosophy:
1. You need to dress a cat. And you will say to a cat together with a family. “It has changed just for a moment”. [ “it being very dear” or ] You will pass pleasant one time.
2. If a family and a cat become fortunate, you will take a commemorative photo! Therefore, please photo your cat lovelily with much trouble.
3. If it finishes taking a photograph, you will make it remove clothes from a cat immediately. You will say then, without forgetting the language of gratitude to a cat. “– be flooded — a way — good — having done one’s best — ! — “
So, in short, Cat Prin believes that you need to dress your cats. If you become fortunate, then you can photograph the cats. Cats are more adorable when they’re in clothes, and what better way to shower love all over your cat then force them awkwardly into a frog-shaped hood or a prince-like cape? And what better way to commemorate your dressed-cat-love than with a series of mildly terrifying photos of cats who look like they’d rather be hanging themselves than wearing a Dalmatian collar?
A hood at Cat Prin costs an average of ¥3,800, or about $33.75 (without shipping or applicable taxes). The next time your inner mutant begins picturing your beloved pet cat as a half-frog creature, or, more oddly, as Anne of Green Gables, then Cat Prin is there, waiting to fulfill your wishes. The day is today. The time is now. Dress that cat.
