Meet The Cutest Fish Vendor In Vietnam Who Is Taking The Internet By Storm With His Adorable Pics

ADVERTISEMENT

There’s a street vendor in Vietnam that appears to be above his competition. Mainly because the merchant is probably the cutest cat ever who would probably persuade you even into buying sand in a desert.

He’s a 3-year-old adorable cat and his owner, Le Quoc Phong, calls him Dog. Together they’ve been spotted in a local market quite a few times. Like a true businessman, Dog is always well-dressed in suitable cat outfits, looking stylish while he’s earning a living. Turns out, he’s also a rockstar. “Dog loves ice cream, traveling and sleeping,” Le Quoc Phong told Bored Panda. “He also has a lot of girlfriends and a lot of children in the country.”

“My cute cat loves taking pictures. He’s also very cooperative when wearing the costumes.” Le Quoc Phong gave his pet such a peculiar name because it usually breathes and acts like a pup. That’s why Dog has its mouth open in most of the shots! His images are making headlines not only in Vietnam but in Thailand and China as well. Le Quoc Phong says some people think Dog is uncomfortable in the cat clothes he wears, but they couldn’t be further from the truth. “Dog feels very cozy [in these costumes] and can walk normally.” Scroll down to check out how this busy feline is getting ahead in life.

Sorry for the repeat post! Anyway....... And... I mean this poor kitty that is of course unless this kitty is getting their fair share of the fish profits. In fish of course... And the good cuts of fish. The kind a kitty cat likes ya know. One more thing. The cat next to the muffin. Why does he look a different color. More grayish? Way less scruffy. His hair is a lot shorter. I don't want to drag down a cute post, but that is not the same kitty. Like they took a bunch of pictures of sad kitty dressed up and then added a couple of random kitty pictures to show what looks like happy kitty on his days off. I am concerned now that the first few pictures of the original kitty might not be happy. And they added something to make this seem okay. Some please prove me wrong. Please.

Also more photos from Dog here on a popular Vietnamese e-newspaper: http://kenh14.vn/het-ban-ca-lai-trong-phan-thit-chu-meo-noi-tieng-khap-cho-hai-phong-len-trang-nhat-tap-chi-nuoc-ngoai-20180307111527387.chn

WHAT?? Dog feels cozy and comfortable in those costumes. I've met him before, so I know. If Dog feels uncomfortable in those clothes, then his owner will take them off right away. He looks sad but he is a very happy kitty. You've never met him before, so you wouldn't know. Shame on you.

Knew instantly at the 1st pic. that Dog's undeniably uber cute fisherman's hat & costume included tiny fake arms. Scottish Fold's are known to be very close to their humans, enjoy all human activity, extremely intelligent & become very attached to their human! Lucky dog you are Phong & thanks for these hysterically enjoyable photos of the Grand Cat named Dog - love it!!!

Quoc doesn´t look unhappy at all about being dressed up for a quick photo or two, I wouldn´t ever try to dress up Gizzy and Thori (and wouldn´t have done it with Angel Sisi) because they haven´t got used to it in their former homes, they´re also no lap cats, but if a cat´s been used to it for a quick photo or two, or for a short video from kitten age on there´s nothing that speaks against it, Quoc spends most of his life as "normal cat", without any clothes, like our furriends Captain Blue Chip aka Mr. Smexy BC and his sisfur Coco aka CC, or like our furriend Angel Bengal!!!

Made in the country of stupidity. Cats are not toys to be dressed. Poor thing it can't even move all squashed up in ridiculous clothing. Again some idiot plays it's human fantasy on some helplessness animal. Humans have to limit in their cruelest.

I'm sorry, as cute as it may seem, as adorable as the cat is, the entire thing is actually quite cruel! Dressed up and made to sit there, posing (obviously physically restricted by the outfits), this is not natural for a cat! Granted, this cat is lucky not to be killed in a horrible way and eaten...is it because it's a "special" breed, a Scottish fold????
