Wigging Out!
So you want your diva cat to be stylin’ and a cool cat, the cat’s meow? Why should dogs have all the haut couture dress-up fun? Classy cats these days may be sporting a Kitty Wig, courtesy of Julie Jackson.
It’s all in good fun, says Jackson. “These cat-sized wigs are intended to encourage playful interaction between you and your kitty.” Kitty Wigs™ donates 20 percent of all profits from sales of the wigs to the ASPCA.
The company launched last December and already has generated buzz--or is that purrs?--around the Internet (www.kittywigs.com). Currently the wigs come in four styles; Pink Passion, Bashful Blonde, Silver Fox and Electric Blue. More styles will become available soon. You get a Kitty Wig on a round form, a hairnet, instructions and toy mouse, all inside a Kitty Wig branded travel case to keep everything safe.
Caution: Not all cats will appreciate playing dress up, but some will enjoy the extra attention. The key is to go slow, show your cat the wig, rub her with it, compliment her appearance, let her sniff and investigate before ever popping it onto her head. Use treats or a favorite toy to reward her for playing dress up, and leave the wig on for only a couple of minutes before removing.
‘Kitty Wigs are not meant to be a cat toy,” says Jackson. She believes it’s a purr-fect photo prop, and cats can be encouraged to wear one for the time it takes to click that picture. It could be the image all the other cat valentines have been yearning to see.

I have a full bred, adult male maine coon. Although he is very loveable and warm, he has to be with me all of the time. I can't work because of illness and he has started hissing at people he dosen't trust or get to close to me. Is this normal for an adult maine coon? He is 12
