That is an “of course I know what a cat looks like” type of cat
The hat:
Maybe he’s mad you don’t have food for him. He chonk
It’s a fedora, isn’t it
“see this? this is what you look like in that stupid thing”
Are you wearing a chef’s hat? Who is on the menu?
Mine be like:
Hat? OK. No glasses? OK. Shaved beard, cut hair? OK. New shoes? I DON’T RECOGNISE YOU, SHHH! SHHH!
Closest thing for them to smell
Yup, pretty much. Eventually she gets used to the smell of the new shoes being of the old human, and stops caring about it. (In the meantime I just let her smell my hand, so she knows that I’m still myself, not some cat-eating alien abomination that took over the human and a threat to her well-being.)
New shoe smell masks the foot smell
Growing up, everyone I knew with a dog you could rile the dog up just by putting on a mask.
I have dogs of my own now but neither of them react at all if you come in looking completely different. Why are mine defective?
My dog doesn’t like it when strangers have hats of any kind or hair that’s done up or curly. If your head is bigger than he thinks it should be, you’re enemy #1.
Mine never reacted to different clothing either. He was a pretty chill guy in general.
If you went under the blankets, though, he’d desperately try to dig you out lmao
My husky goes ballistic with howling if you say “space camp” and it’s pretty much the only time she gets loud. She is very unlike most huskies lol
I had a friend with rottweilers who hated hats. They were awesome and oh so cuddly but gave me a good scare the first time I found out.
Never met a cat that seemed to care, or maybe I thought it was something else since a cat avoiding people isn’t uncommon.
maybe he thinks it doesn’t suit you 🤷♂️
Jokes on me, my cats can somehow recognize me from the sound of me walking up to the front door (and only me, not when anyone else is visiting)… No idea if anything can make them not recognize me
Yo, don’t move, there’s something on your head…
