This Cat Wore a Crop Top to Protest Unrealistic Body Expectations...Kind Of

It's cute and informative.

Amazon Review, Cat Crop TopAmazon.com

Is this cat a body image hero? Not really. Did its owner use a hilarious picture to protest what is actually a greater problem? Definitely.

Here's a bit of back story on this ridiculous picture. A mom from Houston was recently alerted to a purchase her 16-year-old daughter had made on Amazon. That purchase happened to be a (supposedly) one-size-fits-all crop top. Normally that term conjures images of awkwardly square-shaped T-shirts or flowy pants that are heavy on the elastic waist. But not this top. 

This was a decidedly different definition of one-size-fits-all.

In fact the little crochet number, which could only accurately be described as a bra, was so teeny that it caused the mother to turn to Amazon to leave a scathing review. But not before she used the family cat to prove a point. You guessed it, this kitty is modeling a crop top that is meant for a grown human woman. Her hilarious review reads as follows: 

"It is ridiculously small and I probably couldn't legally post a picture of what it looks like if she [her daughter] attempts to wear it. But, so you can see ... here is a picture of our cat wearing it. To be fair, it does cover all of the cats nipples, however, she hates the weave. In summary, do not buy this, even for your cat."

So there you have it, people. A cat so brave she dared to bare her body to the entire Internet just to prove a point about gender politics. We'd like to applaud her, but first we'd like to scratch that adorable (and scandalously exposed) belly.

Power to you, feline friend.
