The Latest in Salary Cat Wear

I like to make cute things for my cats. Before I asked my ginger cat Simba to retire he wore the latest in Salary cat fashion. A tie to complement his dapper ginger suit.

Okay, you might be thinking what level of crazy is this, and to answer that question, crazy cat person level of crazy. That's me.

It is made to be strung onto an existing collar. Simba (or any of my cats) has never been good at posing for photos so I used some computer trickery to give you an idea of what it will look like on a cat.
