A clothing cat-astrophe

Fashion has seen its fair share of odd trends -- parachute pants, beehive hair, cats. Wait just a dog- gone minute -- cats?! Alas, it’s true. Over the past couple years, fash- ion designers have purr-fected the art of festooning felines onto everything from sweaters to shoes. Inexplicable but true. Here at the Crow’s Nest, we believe every dog -- or whale, or platypus -- should have its day. The only question is: What animal will claw its way to the top next?
