I think some folks ask or say things because they just don't think or know any better. Some are just curious. My husband is anti-clothes on my monsters but I don't see why little sweaters, well at least for my girl, would hurt. She doesn't have the heavy coat like my boy. But I have also learned to live without it. I guess it is one less thing I will be in debt over. I can afford to buy myself clothes lol
Either way I don't care I guess.
