Paige DeSorbo Dresses Up Her Cat as a Panda After Boyfriend Craig Conover's Claims the Bears 'Aren't Real'

Paige DeSorbo isn't the only one who gets dressed up in her household! 

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the Summer House star, 31, posted two adorable photos on her Instagram Stories of her cat Daphne wearing a panda costume., likely in preparation for Halloween on Thursday.

"Mood," DeSorbo captioned the first snap of her feline friend sitting on a cream couch. In the second shot, Daphne sprawls out on the sofa while still wearing the costume. 

In July, the fashionista introduced her pet to the world in a video posted on TikTok. "Meet Daphne," the Giggly Squad podcaster captioned a clip of herself snuggling Daphne and holding her up to the camera while sitting on her bed. 

Daphne's panda costume dress-up session comes months after DeSorbo's boyfriend, Craig Conover, confessed that he doesn't think the black and white bears are real. 

Conover, 35, made the confession during season 9 of Southern Charm while on a boys' trip to Linville, North Carolina, with his costars. 

"Do you think panda bears are real?" Conover asked the group while they were on a party bus. "I really wanted them to be real."

"Pandas are f-----g real, due," replied Jarrett "JT" Thomas.

“Just for s---- and giggles, why aren’t they real?” Rodrigo Reyes then asked Conover. 

“There’s just no evidence of it,” Conover said, laughing a bit. 

“Pandas definitely aren’t real,” Conover later told producers in a confessional interview. “They are people in panda suits.”

Last month, a zoo in China went viral for its attraction, which featured a pair of Chow Chow dogs painted to look like pandas.

According to CNN, a video showing the pups at the Shanwei Zoo in China's southern Guangdong province was shared over 1.4 million times.

In the clip, which multiple outlets posted on TikTok, two dogs wander around an enclosure and pant with their tongues out.

The video also shows the pups standing next to a sign that reads "painted dogs," per CNN, citing additional social media posts from users in China. "We are called Panda Dogs, a pet dog that looks like a panda, dyed and dressed up by Chow Chow. We are gentle, smart, friendly, cute, and adorable!" the sign reportedly read.

Conover is known for sharing his thoughts on conspiracy theories on Bravo's Southern Charm, including his belief that "hiccups come from the fact that we evolved from fish, and we used to breathe underwater, and they forget that we are not fish."

Earlier this year, Conover appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and listed the top five conspiracy theories he believes are real. 

"It's about the pyramids. The Egyptians found them, they didn't not build them," he said. "They've been here a lot longer than we think. We don't have the technology even today to build them."
