Halloween costumes for cats: 8 ideas cats actually tolerate

Cats are not dogs. A good cat costume is light, closes quickly and leaves the legs free. These eight ideas work for most cats.

1. The nun

The nun costume is one piece with hood, bib and a little cross. One size, adjustable with hook-and-loop, chest 24–41 cm. Prefer a black habit with a big cross? Take the nun costume with cross in S, M or L.

2. The headless horseman

The headless horseman is a rider figure with a pumpkin lantern on a harness. Nothing on the head, so most cats ignore it after a minute.

3. The giant spider

Eight fuzzy legs on a body harness: the spider costume comes in S to 2XL. Size S fits a neck of 22–25 cm.

4. The little vampire

The vampire costume is made for cats from about 3 kg, or simply the vampire cape that only closes at the neck.

5. The pumpkin

The classic for every photo: the pumpkin hat ties under the chin.

6. The lion

The lion mane fits a neck of 26–30 cm and comes in six colors.

7. The ghost

The ghost costume in size XS fits most cats.

8. The witch

The witch hat with collar is the easiest of all.
