Why won't the cat stay still so I can dress her?

Yesterday we went to a 'wooly show.' A wooly show is a minature horse gathering, where all the horses still have their wooly winter coats. Check out the pic of the 'cute as' horse dressed as a fairy for the fancy dress show. Awwwww. There was a bumble bee horse, clown horse and Hawaii horse to name a few. Pearl came home determined to dress our very unimpressed cat and was quite disgruntled when it turned out the cat had other ideas.....why won't she stay still mum?
We only (only?!) spent an 1 1/2hrs there, we intended it to be 20mins max!! But it was a good opportuntity for Tui to learn even more about horses and to catch up with Jessica. I don't know who is crazier about horses! The horse owners were all pretty helpful, keen to talk to us all and we learnt that...in the early 19th century min. horses were used in coal mines because they are tiny enough to fit in tunnels and strong enough to haul coal, min. horses are a breed made by man, initially for the Royal children of England (late 18th Century?) and minature horses can be inside pets! One lady had hers inside until it was 5 years old....
