Dapper Cats In Bow Ties Looking Ready To Wine And Dine Their Way Into Our Hearts

A cat in a bow tie has places to be, people to see, and absolutely no intention of telling you what any of those plans are.

It's amazing what one tiny accessory can do. This is the same feline who screamed outside the bathroom door this morning and spent twenty minutes chasing a bottle cap across the kitchen. Now he's wearing a bow tie and suddenly we feel underdressed in his presence.

Cats are already pretty good at acting important. They expect breakfast on time, demand doors be opened for them, and occupy the best seat in the house without asking. A bow tie simply completes the look. Now they're not spoiled house cats. They're distinguished gentlecats with very busy social calendars.

Some look ready for a fancy dinner where they'll order the salmon and send it back because the portion is unacceptable. Others look like they're heading into an important business meeting to discuss declining treat distribution and the urgent need for more cardboard boxes.

And then there are the cats whose bow ties only make their usual nonsense funnier. Nothing says sophistication quite like formalwear paired with airplane ears, a blep, or the unmistakable expression of a kitty who is about to sprint through the house for absolutely no reason.

We're also convinced cats know when they look good. Give one a bow tie and suddenly the posture changes. The chest comes out. The stare gets more serious. They're posing like their portrait is about to be hung above a fireplace in some enormous country estate.

Maybe they're headed to a wedding. Maybe they have a job interview. Maybe dinner is simply a black-tie affair tonight.

Whatever the occasion, these fancy felines came dressed to impre ss, and we'd gladly put them on every guest list.

  • These two fancy felines are looking way too cute all dressed up together. One dressed-up cat is adorable enough, but putting two side by side really takes it to another level. They’re both looking so polished and proper, like this is just how they normally walk around the house. We’re especially loving how different their little looks are while still making the purrfect pair. Clearly, these two know that being cute is important, but being cute and coordinated is even better.

  • This kitty is looking seriously dapper in his little bow tie. We’re not sure where he’s headed dressed like this, but clearly the occasion calls for feline formalwear. Maybe he has a fancy dinner reservation, an important business meeting, or a date with the cute cat next door. Whatever is on the calendar, he understood the assignment. With that handsome face and perfectly placed bow tie, this distinguished gentlecat is officially dressed to impress.

  • A tuxedo cat wearing a bow tie almost feels like cheating. This handsome gentleman already showed up in his finest black-and-white formalwear, but apparently that wasn’t fancy enough for him. He had to add the bow tie too. Now he looks less like a house cat and more like he has reservations at a restaurant we couldn’t get into. We just hope wherever he’s headed has plenty of tuna on the menu and a very strict feline formal dress code.
