And he staged the best prom-posal ever. He hired three hundred mousies to spell out “BE MY DATE” while serenading me from my backyard. Isn’t he wonderful? (sigh…)
Via Imgur and Jennie M. The whole backstory: “My brother took our cat to prom. He couldn’t get a date.”
Hysterical photo!!!! Wonder why that handsome young man couldn’t get a human date to the prom? Regardless: hats off to him for not letting that stop him from going! I don’t miss those teenage years …
Hats off to him for having an awesome sense of humor and fun personality! 🙂
Plus, anyone who can get a cat to wear a dress – and look happy about it – has got the knack.
And not be bleeding is an important part of that statement! 🙂
I would totally have gone to the prom with a guy who had such a great sense of humor. And he’s so cute! I hope he ended up having a wonderful time. He looks like terrific date material to me.
And the kitty with stars in her eyes is a riot. Well played, NTMTOM!
I’m thinking that what he really meant is, he couldn’t find anyone he WANTED to take. (I had peers who agreed to go to school dances with just about anyone so they wouldn’t suffer the social ostracism of not attending.) Kudos to this kid for bucking the system, and with a sense of humor, too!??
I call matchingks! He chose his tie to match her outfit (I think it’s a scarf wrapped to resemble a gown). She loves it.
“He’s the cat’s meow!”
*** golf clap ****
Oh, the expression on that cat’s face is priceless! Kitty love instead of puppy love.
Smitten with her beau.
Smitten kitten!
?
Any cat or dog would have been a better date than my human dates for prom.
Apologies to Chris B. and Dave P. wherever you are.
My mind is in the gutter this morning and I’m thinking of a lot of jokes involving another name for cats and boys hope to get on prom night.
I need mind soap, I’m a baaaaad girl!
Don’t feel too bad – on Imgur, just about every 2nd comment is that joke!
Wish I’d thought of this! I just skipped prom.
It isn’t that this lovely guy couldn’t find a girl, there were way to many swooning girls to choose from, so that’s why he chose his alltime best girlfriend!
Is the cat female?
(I can’t imagine why he could not get a prom date.)
Prom King and Queen. Well the cat was The Queen on the day it was born.
I love the dress and his accessories matching.
This young man should use this picture on social media (I don’t know how the young people do it) to get dates. There must be legions of persons of all persuasions who would be interested in such a lovely young man who can inspire adoration from a cat – not an easy trick.
There are more pictures here (including a full body shot of Ruby’s dress and matching shoes) but still no explanation for why that nice young man could not get a date.

His sister was pranking him by saying
he couldn’t get a date.
