Pet clothing should not be a surprise for anyone. After all, it’s a proper industry and there are even pet clothes’ designers. However, one dressed up cat has become a viral fashion sensation on Twitter.
A sherwani clad cat made heads turns as soon as her photo was posted on the social networking site. The user, Saniya, shared her Bengal cat named Leo’s new attire which was hand-sewn by her mother.
The woman used old suits of her son to make this dashing golden sherwani for her kitty. Now he is ready to attend any family wedding.

Thanks to the tweet, the family now has new avenues to earn some extra cash as other pet parents wasn’t something special for their kitties.

As this user rightly assumed, the cat does look like a royal straight out a fantasy story about kings and queens.

However, soon as the tweet blew up, a user called ‘ur local Hyderabadi grandma’ tweeted this.
So a lot of you guys have been asking me how I stitched this sherwani... well first and foremost I say Bismillah and Hyderabad Zindabad and then other step can be learned from YouTube https://t.co/KqoulxRFJR

Initially, everyone believed this was the original tweeter’s mother.
The two even seemed to engage in some fun banter about the ‘daughter’s’ wedding plans and furthered the speculation that they were indeed mother and daughter. As evidenced by this tweet specifically.
