BOOBOO has to be the best dressed cat on the internet, with an outfit for every occasion. But while his owner says he enjoys the dress ups, these photos suggest otherwise.

MODELLING over 75 different looks, this feline has the purr-fect wardrobe.

Wearing everything from a policeman’s uniform to workout gear, there’s no look that this kitty can’t pull off.

When doting owner Carla Hervert, 56, adopted BooBoo in 2005, she had no idea her pet would be giving the likes of Kate Moss a run for her money.

Carla, of Eugene, Oregon says: “I first photographed BooBoo after he climbed into a huge Easter basket for a nap. I thought it would be a fun photo, so I added chicks and bunny decorations to the basket and placed some rabbit ears on his head.

“To my surprise, BooBoo didn’t really seem to mind!”

Together with her husband Fred, Carla began taking more photographs of BooBoo for her friends.

Carla says: “I started taking more photos of BooBoo wearing a hat, and then a shirt.

“It started out as a fun hobby, but the positive reaction to my pictures motivated me to create new themes.”

Carla makes props and clothes for BooBoo to wear and also purchased items for her 17lb cat to wear. She says, “I find many of his clothes at a used clothes shop for children.

“Boo-boo is a big tabby. He’s 22 inches long, so he wears 2 to 4-year-old kid’s clothes. I try to reuse and recycle as much as possible.”

Carla spends around two hours a day taking photographs of BooBoo, as he styles out around six to eight different looks.

“BooBoo really doesn’t mind being dressed up. He is extremely mellow and loves attention.

“We take a few breaks in between shoots for treats and belly rubs.

“My favourite BooBoo outfit has to be his cowboy one — I love the look in his eyes!”
