Comments on: The Aliens Are Coming! http://www.itchmo.com/the-aliens-are-coming-1394 Essential news for cats, dogs and pet owners.

Look at its body language: ears back, eyes wide. It's sad that someone thought this was "funny". Animals are so often victims of silly human antics. This is NOT comparable to baby pictures unless the child is being made miserable in a painful costume. That would be the only comparison. Sorry, this is just cruel.

I'm pretty sure it feels awful and sounds scary. I'm just guessing here, but I bet the cat does not like this. Look at his face. And pit bull lover, I guess that "two wrongs don't make a right" adage, applies to treatment of cats. If you want to put aluminum foil on your head, please do if you like it so much. Sorry, this is still wrong. This is not a dopey uncomfortable costume–it’s aluminum foil scrunched up on his ears and head. I’m pretty sure it feels awful and sounds scary.

May have been some outfits involved. Cat didn't mind for some reason.... cats are such creatures of mystery.

What about the picture of the cat in the tight, one-piece, cow costume from a couple of days ago? Consider chilling out just a teeny-tiny bit. And yes, if someone did this to me I'd find it hilarious. I'm quite fond of aluminum foil horns/antennae. People put dopey, uncomfortable costumes on their pets all the time.

Poor kitty must be very frightened. Think about how he feels with aluminum foil crunching up his ears and covering his head. Probably on the verge of cruelty. Let's not promote the idea that this is funny. JMHO. Yes, I agree with Cynthia. Poor kitty must be very frightened.

Just look at it's eyes, poor thing looks terrified! I wouldn't think of torturing my cat by wrapping it's ears up in foil. I think it's owner is stupid. Just my opinion.
