A Siamese Cat Turned Into a Tiny Dinosaur and Took the Sidewalk
A seal point Siamese cat crouches on the sidewalk in a green dinosaur costume with a row of soft spikes down its back. Her blue eyes are intense, her dark face is wrinkled with concentration, and her white paws are tucked close. Pumpkins, a pot of orange mums, and a wooden lattice fence form the background, and a few leaves have blown across the cracked concrete.
Siamese cats are known for being intelligent, vocal, and deeply attached to their people. They often follow their owners around, talk back when spoken to, and may have strong opinions about everything. A cat like this can be a very expressive costume model, but the usual rules apply: only a short photo session, no small parts, and nothing that covers the eyes or restricts walking. If she freezes, flattens her ears, or tries to wriggle out, take the costume off. Pet costumes with elastic or ties should never be tight around the neck. Outdoor time on Halloween should be supervised, with a harness and leash, since fireworks, doorbells, and crowds may spook a nervous cat. Fresh water and a quiet place to rest afterward are always welcome.
A tiny dinosaur is a very fitting costume for an animal that already carries herself like a small predator.
The sidewalk is hers, and any leaf that moves is in trouble.
