Last night Matilda, the famous Algonquin Hotel cat, celebrated her 15th birthday—and we were there for total coverage. The party was held in the hotel’s lobby and centered around a good ol’ fashioned Cat Fashion Show—because what better way to celebrate than by making your feline friends dress up in ridiculous outfits and parade in front of humans? John Fulton, the host of Animal Planet’s new upcoming show Must Love Cats was on hand as the host—the show has been filming around the city all week for a NYC episode! When asked what his favorite costume was, Fulton told us, “Diva, the 4 month old rag doll, brought the crowd to a frenzy.”
Our photographer Katie Sokoler pretty much sums up the scene, saying, “I felt emotionally confused the whole time because I thought the show was hilarious but at the same time I felt bad! Some of the cats were so nervous when they came out because the audience was popping camera flashes in their faces and screaming to the cats in baby talk.” She also noted that the dressing room was equipped with a CD called “Relaxation music for my cat and me,” so hopefully that helped them out.

the sleeping one is cute the rest are all saying “get this stuff off my head!”

WHAT the bullshit is this?

why can’t people let cats have THEIR DAMN PRIDE

A cat fashion show is my heaven! And they’re supposed to look unhappy, they’re models, duh! No model ever smiles on the catwalk. HA! CATWALK! No, seriously it’s pretty sad.

This is almost worse than that guy who marinated the cat  Poor kitties

Such cat indignity!

they all have that bitchy model look down

they all look like they want to die.

Cat #3 won in the “If looks could kill” Category.

I think there’s a mistake. The second image isn’t a cat, its just a regular a picture of Christopher Walken.

Is 4 supposed to be Edward Cullen? That’s even more humiliating.

poor kitties…

They look so unhappy. :(

Sleeping Napoleon is my favorite!

Anthropomorphism at its craziest

Not one of those poor cats looks happy =/
