I have two cats and I was thinking of getting one of them a Snuggie (the extra small dog size would fit her perfectly). I would only get one because I only have one normal cat. The other cat would scratch the retinas out from both of my eyeballs if I ever tried to put a single article of clothing on her.[/QUOTE]
This sounds more normal for a cat to me.(Most cats I've met would not take well to being dressed. Even if they did, they'd find a way to get theri revenge later.

Don't buy into those Amazon reviews. They're haters. They complain that it is like a robe, but wide open in the back. They don't understand. Of course it is wide open in the back. It is a BLANKET. Blankets do not close in the back. They complain of the wide sleeves. Me personally, the sleeves give me this feeling like I'm a well respected cult leader. They complain of the thinness. I will admit that it is not a goose down comforter you are wearing, but it definitely is a soft fleece that keeps the draft out. So, I would reconsider. If you are worried about any potentially harmful side effects, then get one for your daughter first. That's what kids are for. Trust me when I tell you this. Your life will be transformed in ways you could not imagine. In the immortal words of Pedro - "All of your wildest dreams will come true".
Excuse me...
When the wheel was invented, did you say, "It's just a square missing its corners. When ice cubes were invented did you think, "It's just water that got too cold". When Ewoks were invented, did you declare, " It's just dwarves in furry outfits, created for the sole purpose of toy sales".
The "phenomenon" is because the Snuggie is the first great invention of the 21st century. It happens to be a giant leap forward for all mankind. Do you even remember a world before Snuggies? I do. I remember having to keep my blanket drawn below my armpit region if I wished to read a book in bed. And I couldn't see the print very well, as I didn't have my complimentary book light before Snuggies came into being. I remember days long ago when I would wake up in the morning and find my blankets were on the other side of the bed, or worse, had fallen to the floor. That is no longer an issue with the Snuggie. In the past, I would have to coordinate a new outfit each morning. Now, I simply drape my Snugggie over my naked body and head off to work. The combination of the warmth that I get from the front and the open breeziness of my naked backside is absolutely delightful on Spring days.
So, it is not just a backwards bath robe. It is the culmination of thousands of years of human development and ingenuity.
You know -now that I think about it -our church is kind of cold (lots of stone and brick with marble floors)
Do you think anyone would notice if I started wearing one to church??
That would save me the pesky chore of trying to find matching heels, skirt, blouse.
It's a strange phenomenon, this snuggie effect. It's almost like the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, if it were a light hearted holiday comedy, rather than a sci fi/horror movie.
