Mine be like:
Hat? OK. No glasses? OK. Shaved beard, cut hair? OK. New shoes? I DON’T RECOGNISE YOU, SHHH! SHHH!
Closest thing for them to smell
Yup, pretty much. Eventually she gets used to the smell of the new shoes being of the old human, and stops caring about it. (In the meantime I just let her smell my hand, so she knows that I’m still myself, not some cat-eating alien abomination that took over the human and a threat to her well-being.)
New shoe smell masks the foot smell
The hat:
That is an “of course I know what a cat looks like” type of cat
My cat but with me in long pant and safety shoe.
“Holy fuck intruder!” is what they will do.
Yo, don’t move, there’s something on your head…
Jokes on me, my cats can somehow recognize me from the sound of me walking up to the front door (and only me, not when anyone else is visiting)… No idea if anything can make them not recognize me
Lol, same with mine.
It’s a fedora, isn’t it
Maybe he’s mad you don’t have food for him. He chonk
Are you wearing a chef’s hat? Who is on the menu?
maybe he thinks it doesn’t suit you 🤷♂️
I think my cat prefers me when I’m wearing my myotorcycle helmet
Aaaahh! Who are you?! Where’s Uncle Slim?
“see this? this is what you look like in that stupid thing”
