It’s a match made in heaven: a 14-pound Maine coon cat who loves modeling clothes, and his photographer-owner.
Meet Lorenzo the cat, star of high-fashion feline photos, Twitter and even the Today show. His photos have attracted thousands of fans and a couple of museum exhibits.
This 2-year-old Maine coon happily models the latest fashions for his owner, Miami photographer Joann Biondi. It all started when he was a kitten…
Lorenzo used to steal Biondi’s underwear from the laundry and run through the apartment. One day, while she wrestled some clothes away from him, she flipped a tank top over his head. He poked his nose through an arm hole, held his head high and paraded around, staging his first fashion show, Biondi said.
A freelance journalist, Biondi started taking pictures of Lorenzo in different shirts and settings. She put them on MySpace and “he made friends with donkeys, birds and people.”
The whole idea is to make people smile, she said, but she still tries to take pictures that “maintain his integrity. I don’t want him to look silly. He always wears real clothes instead of costumes.”
Lorenzo does have a couple of rules — no pants, no hats and the top button on a shirt has to stay open. Source.
The kitties thank you!
