I am too afraid of overheating, strangulation or a tourniquet situation with clothing/collars that I cannot leave mine wearing anything. When we have visitors or go out, Tibbe wears his harness/tag and when very cold in winter, he has sweaters and coats for the outdoors but he wants them off when he comes insides and then he expects a good scratching afterward. After his scratching session is done, he rolls all over the floor!
One thing I know Tibbe does love is standing outside in the wind and letting it blow his coat. Tibbe is a rescue and a little skittish in the wind sometimes and don't know why he's wary of it when he first notices it, but once he feels it ruffling his coat much, he will go to the highest point in the yard and stand there with his nose up and ears back as if he is reveling in the feel of his hair flowing around freely. He even tries this when occasionally wearing his sweater in winter and when it doesn't feel the same, he snorts and snorts. Still, he is willing to have his sweater or coat put on him if it is cold and he's going out but wants it right off again inside.
I wonder if Tibbe feels like I do when I wear a hat. A hat is either warm or fashionable or fun for a time but after having my hair mashed down against my head without a lot of air getting in and the even slight weight of the hat after a while, I am ready for it to come off and brush my hair - alot.
