28 Photos of Fashionable Felines Fending off the Frost While Bedecked in Balaclavas

I Can Has-ers, we're going to Vogue-ify this post a bit, if you don't mind: Have you heard that this upcoming winter is all about the Balaclava and the Babushka look? That's right! The Russian granny immigrant-ish look, where the whole head is wrapped against the cold, is all the rage for those looking to warm up in style. If you haven't heard of this literally hot piece of clothing, maybe your ears are already covered - so you're good to go. 

 

This lovely headcover doesn't have to be knitted - it can be any fabric that covers your head and ears. But knitted balaclavas got us thinking: If cats go so well with yarn balls, they'd probably look ameowzing donning their Babushka look! Think about it: The whole point of the balaclava is to keep warm in a cuddly, elegant manner, and who cuddles more elegantly than our beloved feline furrinistas!
 

Since we know you're up for some warm, furrbolous cuddling yourself, we've put together a collection of couture cats looking coquettishly at the camera, cuddling in cool balaclavas. If you develop an irresistible craving to rush out and purchase one yourself after reading this article, don't worry - It happened to us too, and it'll pass. 
 

Once you make the purchase.
