Kitty Halloween Costume

Halloween may not be until tomorrow, but Cupcake tried out her Halloween costume over the weekend. She heard that her local Starbucks was hiring, and she thought Halloween would be her big chance to finally get inside the doors.

Cupcake: Don’t pay any attention to the part about “no pets please.”

Cupcake: Can I take your order?

All of Cupcake’s barista friends came outside to take her photo and to have their photos taken with her. She still didn’t get inside those doors, though. Better luck next time, Cup!

Cupcake’s costume is an apron borrowed from one of the plush “bearista” bears sold around the holidays in Starbucks stores. I used green thread to attach it to the collar of a black kitten harness. The apron strings are clipped to the belly band of the harness with a pair of clips I removed from conference lanyards I found in a drawer. Having them clipped turned out to be convenient when Cupcake stuck her arm over the apron strings.

    This is absolutely the most brilliant, purrfect costume EVER. I cannot believe they didn’t hire you, Cupcake. You would bring in loads of customers just to see YOU!

    Cupcake, we cannot believe you didn’t get inside much less didn’t get hired. Can you imagine how much more business that Starbucks would get if you were working there. You look darn adorable. Happy Halloween. Hope you don’t get frightened by trick-or-treaters. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

    I agree they should have hired you, Cupcake. If you worked at my local Starbucks, I would go all the time and I don’t even drink coffee.

    Cupcake, mom says it’s not her favorite coffee usually unless it’s doctored up. THEN, that’s another story; but for YOU…she said she’d be there every day with money in hand for coffee and your BIG tip.

    Whoa! Are they dense in Starbucks. You could be their biggest attraction and drive in lots of customers. The fact that you’re not allowed inside is just wrong. I’ll have a venta nip Catte, part cream part lactose-free no sugar but a hint of silvervine.

    Seriously, Cupcake…someone should send a photo of you in your barista apron to the CEO of Starbucks! Maybe there will be lattes for life, or whipped cream for life…or something like that! Saw you on FB and your adorableness made me smile from ear to ear.

    Cupcake, you’re too young to be working. I’m sure there are kitten labor laws that must be followed.
