Default Do you/have you put clothing on your dog/cat?

I don't. It looks to uncomfortable on them but I see it a lot.

Just look at this poor poodle. He looks so sad

I have not done that to my pets, I don't know what inclines people to do so.
My aunt and uncle have a a huge dog and they put my uncles shirt on him for some reason. Since he is a dog and lays on the ground and whatnot the shirt became absolutely filthy, and he ended up walking around looking like a hobo. At least it was funny

And then some lady I knew used to paint her dog's fingernails..

Yes, Tucker has a nylon/fleece coat, which I believe falls under "clothing". I find it cruel to put a short haired dog outside in Minnesota's harsh winters without some sort of protection.

When I had a dog, no. I always thought they'd be much happier without clothing.
It's cute, sometimes (like this lady had a lizard in the store and had it in a dress type thing, it was so cute), but I just don't see a need for it.

Oh my God! Those pictures simultaneously appalled and delighted me. They don't look too annoyed, though, considering.

I love the 'only on special occasions' option on this poll I don't have a cat or dog, I have bunnies. But I can't say I've ever tried to dress them up. I would like to try a bonnet, or perhaps an Elizabethan ruff....

Those poor, poor cats.

I have a very small dog with a very short haircut. In pouring winter rain or snow, he sometimes gets a fleece coat thingie with a waterproof layer. When it's for realz cold outside. Other than that, no.

Sweet Jesus no!!!!

I imagine it's demeaning enough having someone else pick up your poop.

Pet dressing is not really in fashion here in the UK (or perhaps its just my area) and personally, I think it's quite a dumb idea.

I don't do that. I admit I may have tried to dress my cat up when I was younger though. I also have this sweater I bought years ago for my future chihuahua. I wouldn't buy a chihuahua now, and I wouldn't dress him up if I had one, so I think I've smartened up a bit. Doesn't seem very comfortable for them

This dog is sad because of the sweater he was forced to wear by his owner.

We put sweaters on my dog occasionally in the winter so he doesn't get cold. When he uses the bathroom he comes back in shivering so yeah. He gets excited when we pull it out. But that's it - no booties or t-shirts that say things on them or hats...just sweaters.
