If you want to combine vintage, classy, and simple, try these pretty little shirts. There’s one that I like best, which has a cape that boosts the cuteness of your cat further.
Finish up with a cream-colored beret on top of your cat’s head and voila, here’s your fashionable princess!
But remember that such small garments may not complement the appearance of cats with long hair. These tiny shirts are a better fit for slim breeds with short hair, like the Bengal, Siamese, and Burmese.
