As for me, um, no. I prefer to wear clothes when it's 100 degrees out.

Plus the hygiene thing.

They're mostly insisting on staying outside somewhere, though they're welcome to come in. They're having some attitude issues about me closing their favorite cat door at night when I go to bed. I had to reconfigure the cat entrance situation when a raccoon realized that it could come in and enjoy cat food too. The cats can come in through a raccoon-proof entry through the garage that's always open, but I think one of them may not have figured it out yet. Or she's just being stubborn.

Cats and their attitudes! Cattitudes.

and she does seem to feel better. Your outdoor cats should probably stay clothed, though.

My last dog got a couple of good haircuts every summer and he seemed to turn back into a puppy.

"nude" means "nekkid" to you.

Here's his iconic definition, probably used for the first time in the early 1980s: "There's a big difference between the words, 'naked' and 'nekkid.' 'Naked' means you don't have any clothes on. 'Nekkid' means you don't have any clothes on … and you're up to something."

19. Glad to. I remember hearing that bit live, on PHC (IIRC) and realized right away it was a keeper.

Plus, that really is the way we use "nekkid" down South !

10. I'm nude underneath my clothes, which is fine for me and the rest of the world.

Even though I'm staying home these days, I should not be nude, even hypothetically. However, my cat is nude; she got a lion cut a couple of weeks ago. That's all the nudity this household can handle.

In between, it's fully-clothed for me. They frown on non-medical nudity here at the clinic...
