QOTW: Do your pets interact with Blythe?
Written on March 23, 2015 at 2:00 pm by MichelleFiled under: Question of the Week
Most days, I wish I had a cat or a dog. And then I think about the need for lint rollers, or having wet noses in my face, or tripping over furry mammals in my living room and I do really reconsider it. The thoughts of having my tiny precious doll shoes being chewed up or having dolls knock off of shelves really makes me cringe – although I suppose they do make doors for shelves these days. I do have pets, but they’re of the non-mammalian variety and live in a tank so the amount of interaction with my dolls incredibly minimal unless I force it.
I love photos of Blythe with dogs, cats, and other animals. Mostly because they’re super adorable. But I don’t have a dog, or a cat, or some kind of mammalian pet so…
Do you allow your pets to interact with Blythe?
Yes, I do. I have 2 cats and they are naturally curious as well as being pretty laid back. So they don’t mind sharing their space with dolls for a photo opp now and then. Sometimes they’ll stroll over to see what’s going on – and have photobombed a few in this way! Blythe dolls and pets do seem to go together 🙂
My cats seem to think my dollies are little humans. They are very intimidated by them. However, my boy Fuzzbutt does seem to be fond of my first Blythe doll, which is a Punkaholic People. He will play with her and sometimes bite her head if I am giving her more attention than I give him. Fortunately, my doll Lisbeth loves cats, so she doesn’t mind, lol.
I have two little Coton de Tulear pups. They largely ignore Blythe, but have a terrible habit of wandering into the corners of her pictures on frequent occasion! Luckily, they are hypoallergenic, so no stray puppy hairs near any of my girls.
