Cat Loves Ghost (Huh?)

by Eliot Glazer (Subscribe to Eliot Glazer's posts): Jun 18th 2009 @ 10:00AM Filed Under: Cats, Pet Clothes

Kitty dolls come and go, but we keep buying them, don't we? From Beanie Babies to Hello Kitty, feline-friendly apparel is all the rage among the people who love 'em (so...nanas?), meaning there must be someone out there with a heart big enough to put down $12.99 on a plushie cat doll that looks like ...this one.

Was this doll designed to look like roadkill? We're hoping to never have to come face to face with whatever creature this guy was modeled off of, considering that, if drawn to scale, the little thing must have had elephantitis of the paws.

And while the cat's shirt can apparently be personalized, we doubt anyone - ever, in the world, ever - could dream up a better, more attention-worthy display of words than "I Heart Ghost." Let's get to the real questions: exactly how many ghosts are there? Why does Kitty love them/it? Is Ghost a proper name? What/who/why is Ghost, and what makes the doll such a smitten kitten?

If you're looking for a toy this odd, may we suggest you just get the shirt and properly fit it on a taxidermied cat instead? Because if you thought real-live stuffed animals were eerie, imagine what a cat with biceps and lobsided eyes could do to you ...in and out of your dreams!
