Dinosaur Cats Get Prehistoric Haircuts And Accessories

On a recent evening while I held court in my favorite hangout the concept of dinosaur cats came up.

The search results turned up what I’m going to confidently suggest is the most marvelous cat image I’ve ever seen.

The kitty in question is a black cat who’s been shaved to resemble a stegosaurus, that peaceful plant-eating dinosaur.

Behold the dino-cat!

This striking picture is clearly the world's best ever dino-cat. While I cannot envision a situation where I'd want to shave my own cat, Mimosa, the vibe here seems to be kooky rather than cruel. Also, that's less fur to clean!

Beast from the east

This light gray cat ushers in a new dimension to the world of dino-kitties, with the softer fur tones bringing to my mind some sort of sea-dwelling beast although I admit I might be analyzing this all a little too much.

The ginger exception

Weirdly, I really don't think that our ginger-hued feline friends make for good dinosaurs. The look here is more Alf, that otherworldly kitty predator from the 1980s, rather than anything prehistoric.

Cats heart cardboard

For those times when the idea of shaving your cat to resemble a dinosaur seems like just too much hassle, there is the alternative option of the cardboard cut-out kitty-saur. This tabby pulls off a very impressive tyrannosaurus rex impression.

Dinosaur styling

Another fine alternative is to style the fur running along the ridge of your cat's backbone into a "faux-hawk" style. The look definitely screams dino-power.

When cat meets dino

For many years scientists and archaeologists have argued the pressing issue of whether dinosaurs and cats could happily coexist. I like to think this kittenish scamp answers that particular dilemma for the ages.

A green monster

If Dr. Seuss were ever to include a dino-cat in one of his wacky tales, this green-dipped kitty is a shoo-in for a starring role. Probably don't attempt this at home, okay?
