Does your pet

[Sabine Janus]

Does your pet ever look at you like "What the heck is going on?" when you get into your full rig (Makeup, forms, hair etc.)?

Or is it just mine?

[MarinaTwelve200]

Nope, and THAT surprises me. He acts just the same towards me.

[alwayshave]

Not at all. Acts no differently.

[Crissy 107]

Pups know stuff for sure

[Maria 60]

Our first dog would run and hide when I would dress and hide in her cage. She never got used to me even when petting her and everything. Our dog now doesn't bat an eye, just looks up and me and goes back to sleep

[bridget thronton]

My dogs do not treat me differently (any time I change clothes they think it is time for a walk)

[GretchenM]

It is amazing how some animals, but not all, kind of freak out when we change our appearance drastically. They clearly have face recognition, but when the clothes are very different they sense something has changed that they don't understand. Long ago a cat we had would sit on the floor and stare at me for the longest time. Unsure of what was happening. But then he would decide it was safe perhaps with voice recognition. He would wander off seemingly pondering the craziness of people and perhaps thinking, "Well at least we cats don't do freaky things like that. But it is not nice to upset my world that way. Whatever!" An eventual acceptance.

[Diane P]

Nope my dog doesn't act any different when I change from drab mode to femme mode.

[StacyG]

My cat knows when I am wearing something really nice and comes and climbs on me and digs her claws in to pick and pull some threads and ruin it. She sleeps under the covers with me, so I don't wear my favorite nightgowns, only the ones she kneaded on. Sometimes I let her into the garage so I can enjoy my dressing time.

[LydiaL]

The dog I had, a black lab/Irish setter mix, definitely looked puzzled when I was fully presenting as feminine. Dog knew the voice was right but not the look! But if I then took her for a walk, any concerns were quickly forgotten.

[Monique65]

My dog is too smart to be fooled by outward appearances. She accepts me no matter what I’m wearing. Don’t you wish everyone was like that?

[sometimes_miss]

He used to, when he'd see me in a different wig or hat. Now he knows that I'm 'me' no matter what I'm wearing. There used to be a hat that freaked him out, but I wore it every day for about an hour, and he got used to it.

[BLUE ORCHID]

The Pup knows who feeds her,

[DanielleDubois]

Our first two dogs were totally unimpressed by my transformation to Danielle and would barely give me a second glance and then would wander off somewhere to have a nap.

Our current dog is quite different and I posted about it on another thread.

We have found our dog behaves strangely and seems anxious on the recent fashion show days for my wife. The first couple of times we thought it was because the bedroom door was closed and she likes to relax on our bed. So we now leave the bedroom door open while I am getting ready but the other day Kirra was in and out of the house, pawing at out front patio door instead of coming in her doggy door and also went under the computer desk when my wife was on the computer.

Funny thing is on regular Danielle days when my wife is not home the dog is totally relaxed , goes in and out, and most of the time lies on the bedroom bed in the midst of assorted Danielle stuff and totally oblivious to Danielle getting ready.

[mbmeen12]

They nap just fine...same as always.

[Keremy]

My baby girl aka my dog has always surprised me that she doesn?t act like there is a stranger in the house when I am dressed. She will bark at anything new or out of place in the house but has no problem telling it is me when I am dressed.

[Cheryl T]

No, cats don't care about anything but food and sleep.

[Heather76]

Nope. Our 4 year old pup has seen me dressed almost from the start. We got him in September of 2019. I started under dressing in June of 2020. He's seen me fully dressed since he was about 1 1/2 year old. Actually, when I go to the guest bedroom where I keep all my feeme stuff, je usually lays on the hallway floor by the door as I change into whatever I'm going to wear. I think he must like it when Heather emerges.

[BTWimRobin]

My dog gives me this look ... Like WTF! I think he is secretly laughing his head off. Whie he can speak volumes, it's a good thing he can't talk, LOL

[Becky Bloodstone]

My cat always looks at me like, "oh, this again?"

[Karren H]

Our cats never seemed to care what I was wearing, at lease when I was watching them. Who knows what they were doing behind my back!!

[Susan_Michaela]

I was out in the backyard raking leaves wearing a blouse leggings and low heel booties. Only thing different was I had on bright red lipstick. The pit bull next door was out in yard doing her business and started going nuts. I?m not sure if dogs can actually see in color but that might be a sign they really do. I?ve had other times talking to the neighbor across the fence and she was always friendly. Not this day though she was ready to attack vicious and all. The next day I had chocolate colored lipstick on and she was her loving self. Go figure.

[April Rose]

My female cat likes boys better than girls, even if the boy is dressed as a girl.

[Freddi]

One of our cats rarely sits on my knee but if I'm wearing a dress or skirt she will always come and curl up on my knee. Doesn't seem to matter which one.

[Lauren4444]

Awesome post! I always felt like my cat was not only judging me but felt I was embarrassing the whole family. 🤣🤣🤣

[Claire M]

Nope, my dogs never did. That's the best characteristic of a great dog ... love is unconditional ... no matter what you?re wearing! Too bad few people have that characteristic. (The stories my old dog could have told!!)

[BethanyCross]

When I was about 12, I dressed in from head to toe in one of my sister's outfits including makeup. Our dog didn't recognize me and barked at me. Clearly, some pets identify with clothes. A nice memory.

[LARIE]

My parrot goes bonkers with hats or caps, but ignores the wigs.

[HollyGreene]

It makes no difference to my cats. They seem to go by smell rather than by how I look.

[Brenda Freeman]

Just the first time. I came home late after dinner with a friend and our fairly new dog always runs to the door to greet no matter the time. Well I opened the door and she immediately backed away and growled. I called her name and she came up and sniffed my hand and the tail wag and greeting proceeded as normal. After that I have to be careful that she does not tear my nylons when she greets me.

[kimdl93]

My dog always recognized me, but she once reacted a bit defensively to a friend who put on his cowboy hat as he was about to leave. I guess she had gotten used to seeing him without it. He was a real cowboy, and as such, always took his hat off when he entered the house.

[Natalie5004]

I do not have a dog but you would not believe what my parrot says.

[Jane G]

Nope our family cat only needs us to fill her food bowl, provide a grooming service and dispose of the odd kill. Who we are how we dress is not important. Christmas dinner, before she moved to our daughters home, she used to sit on her chair in the dining room with all us crazy human types with party hats on. So why would a bit of make up phase her.

[Robyn2006]

Yeah, absolutely. My dog, a border collie mix, knows immediately somethings up. He's ok with me, knows it's me, but prefers to keeps his distance and doesn't hound me as he usually does for attention.
