Cat owners Dillon Maydon and Amber Lim have a very even-tempered cat, Brie, who puts up with being dressedup, in exchange for treats.

"She’s very loving, and she plays a lot. She loves a treat as well, she likes tulu [wet food tubes] and temptations."
Ms Lim said she always wanted to dress up her pets, but never had an animal who would tolerate it until Brie.

"Most outfits are made for dogs anyway, so I started making my own.
"That’s the cool thing about dressing cats up, if they tolerate it, it looks really cute — it’s not every day you see a cat in a dress."

Ms Lim said fabrics such as cotton and satin were top picks when she created the outfits as Brie tended to not be bothered by their feel.
"She’s got this Christmas dress made of satin which she wore to the Nichols Santa photos, everyone was saying ‘oh my goodness, a cat in a dress’ and she was so well behaved, she even looked right at the camera."
