What a wonderful combination of the creative and creepy.

Confused

I am a total animal lover and have had dogs and cats all my life. So why is it these photos creep everyone out - including me!!! I guess they just look so pathetic.

Going to need a helper

I've had cats my entire life. I can't imagine trying to get clothes on one without ending up in the emergency room with multiple lacerations.

Creepy

This guy probably would have gotten along very well with Tim Burton or The Quay Brothers.

Animals dressed like people

These Harry Frees photos are a little unnerving. I never did like "Four Little" books. I do have one packed away in my son's keepsakes.

From the looks of it-

I'd say the cat has been smoking catnip again.

He had a jillion of 'em

Much of Harry Frees's career was built around photos of these anthropomorphized baby animals. It's not at all hard to find reprint copies of his Four Little Kittens/Four Little Puppies/Four Little Bunnies books.
