Not Felt

"The Straw Hat Riot of 1922 was a riot that occurred in New York City at the end of summer as a result of unwritten rules in men's fashions at the time, and a tradition of taunting people who had failed to stop wearing straw hats after autumn began. Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to youths choosing to harass men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15. It lasted eight days, leading to many arrests and some injuries." - Wikipedia

Therefore, Felt Hat Day is September 15.

And so, I dragged out my Cat Hats box, and with felt hats in one hand and phone in the other, I went out in search of cats:

Yeah, Henry wasn't having ANY of it!
I was lucky to walk about with all of my digits.
Look at that face!

Chili Bruce would only sit still while I held him,
Top hat!

Manny allowed the cowboy hat to rest on his noggin for only a moment.

No cats were harmed in the making of today's post; they were just annoyed for a couple of seconds.

  2. They may have been annoyed but they looked really cute. Just wonder what goes through their mind when they think about us!

  3. #1 has never tried that with us. We assume that Benny would play along, Momo would run for the hills, and Ryū would catapult the hat away!
