Lobster Cat Costumes

Lobster Baby has Nothing on This Latest Viral Photo Fun

— October 20, 2009 — Pop Culture
Playing off of the success that was the lobster baby Internet phenomenon (which was essentially a small child dressed in a lobster suit sitting in a pot emulating the boiling of a crustacean), the lobster cat is the latest pet to don the costume.

The lobster cat is equally as adorable as the lobster baby and photos of the lobster cat have the animal on top of a stove in a pot, scurrying across the floor, and looking pensive while staring out the window.
