Poor little buggers have to wear sweaters, but they should at least have nice ones.

She felt like warm suede. But you would look serious, too, if you had to walk around buck naked and wrinkly.

Years ago Miz t. got some kinda cute T shirt for the cat.
I put it on her.
She FROZE.
Absolutely immobile.
Not pissed, just a statue.

Thereafter, when a trip to the vet was scheduled (holy hell in the past), I'd just put the T shirt on her and no problem.

...to go to the vet, and the yowling and clawing noises were terrifying. It was not a whole lot better when I finally got an actual cat carrier.

she loved them all. Never tried to take them off, never bit them or anything....she really liked them. Our favorite one was a sweater that was white and had black spots like the Holstein cow? It looked so funny on a long and low to the ground wiener dog. Wish I would have had a photo of her in all her sweaters. We gave them to our animal shelter when she passed away, except I kept the cow sweater, that was my favorite. I still miss her terribly.
