A Silver Kitten Dressed as a Hot Dog Sat in the Middle of the Lawn

A silver-gray kitten with fluffy cheeks and big pointed ears sits on the lawn wearing a plush hot dog costume: a soft bun wraps around her back with a squiggle of mustard on top. Her gold-green eyes are wide, a little uncertain, and fixed on something out of frame. Behind her are pumpkins on a porch, a gray sky, and a lawn sprinkled with dry leaves. Call her Frankie. She is probably the best-dressed kitten in the neighborhood and the funniest.

Silver tabby coats are a classic look among Maine Coons, a breed that grows into one of the largest domestic cats. They're known for being friendly, curious, and sometimes dog-like, following their people around and even playing fetch. Kittens grow slowly, taking years to fill out, so a small fluff like this will be a gentle giant one day. Their long coat and bushy tail need regular brushing, especially in the seasonal shed.

Food-shaped costumes are a cute choice, but remember that the costume is just fabric and stuffing, so keep it away from chewing, and don't let her treat it as a toy. Make sure the bun doesn't cover her legs or make it hard to walk, and that nothing is tight around her neck. Wearing it for a quick photo on a calm day is better than all evening. And keep real hot dogs and other people food off her menu, since seasoned and processed meat can upset a cat's stomach. Ask your vet about safe treats.

Frankie sits on the grass, waiting patiently for the next move. Nothing could make this evening any more delightful than a kitten in a bun.
