The scientific part:
What appears to be a female cats elbow is really her heel, for a cat is digitigrade, which means she walks on her toes with her heels up.
The silly part:
Since she already stands on her eight hind tiptoes as if on high heels, marketing a pair of stilettos to feline owners
who enjoy dressing up their pets should be a success. Of course, the heels wouldnt be real but be made out of a light rubbery material, and the uppers would be airy and elastic. Kitty comfort and frivolous fashion in a purrfect combination.

not on my new carpet they don't. |

Have you ever put *anything* on a cat's feet? Hilarious! A sock over the head is fun, too. |
|
|
they would need a matching bag (and two house bricks if I had my way) |
|
|
no, i don't do caps either. don't really see the point. |
|
|
Wouldn't their front feet now be out of alignment? You might need two more stilettos. |
|
|
[phundug] No, the idea is they're already on their toes - just cover them, no heel support. |
|
|
the heels do not have to be rigid. they could be quite soft! |
|
|
By golly, you're right...and also
scratched if you try this in real life.
They (cats) hate anything that restricts
their movement. + |

So now we will be inflicting back pain on our pets as well? |
|

Haste makes waste, Pete. Read the idea and annos. |

Dr Curry from the way i read this idea it's the owner who will suffer when kitty decides to jump into your lap. |

[FJ: that was actually an aside commenting on the purpose/effect of high heels on women, not cats. A cat isn't going to wear one of these things more than about five seconds, which I believe was the subtext of phoenix's comment. And we already inflict back pain on our pets (dogs in particular) through breeding.] |

OK, I was afraid you were risking your back jumping to conclusions. |
