Cindy Park’s love for Taylor Swift has taken on a new level of fandom. The 53-year-old managing director of a FinTech firm in Portland, Oregon, has found a unique way to bond with her beloved rescue cat, Badger, over their shared adoration for the pop superstar. As soon as Badger hears Swift’s songs, his excitement is palpable, and Park’s creativity kicks into high gear.
Park was captivated by the shimmering costumes and dazzling outfits Swift donned during her Eras Tour. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, these costumes are amazing. They’re beautiful. I bet you that Badger could rock those,'” she recalls. With no cat-sized versions available, Park embarked on a mission to recreate the iconic looks for her feline friend.
Feline Fashion Extravaganza
Piecing together fabrics, bedazzling, and creating original designs, Park has meticulously crafted a matching tour wardrobe for Badger, which she proudly shares on Instagram at @badger.dot. As Swift unveils new looks, Park updates and adds to Badger’s collection, ensuring he’s always in style.
“He’ll lift his paw up to put through the armhole, and then he’ll put the other paw up and push it through the armhole himself,” Park marvels, describing Badger’s enthusiasm for playing dress-up. While treats are involved in the photography process, Park emphasizes, “You can’t force cats to do anything they don’t want to do.”
A Fashionable Feline Family
Among Park’s nine rescue cats, Badger and Ellie are the two most fashionable felines. “They love the attention,” she says. “But Badger, he poses. You can’t make a cat just sit there and pose like that.”
Badger’s love for the spotlight is evident as he starts purring and drooling when it’s time for their costumed photo shoots, especially those inspired by the Eras Tour. “He recognizes Taylor’s songs now,” Park adds, beaming with pride.
Bonding Through Shared Passion
For Park, these moments are more than just dressing up her cat – they’re cherished bonding experiences. “It’s Mommy and Badger bonding moments. I love it,” she says, her voice filled with affection.
Through their shared love for Taylor Swift and the joy of creating and capturing Badger’s fabulous looks, Park and her feline companion have forged a unique connection that transcends the ordinary. As they continue to explore their creativity and celebrate their fandom, their bond only grows stronger, one costume and photo shoot at a time.
