Cat Costumes

When you hear people talk about cat costumes, black cat costumes for people probably come to mind first. However, there are also pet costumes that your cats can wear! (Including cats dressed as people—now that's topsy-turvy!) Follow along, and we'll share some of our best costume ideas for cats. They're purrrfectly adorable!

Is it your cat's first time dressing up for Halloween? Kitties are notoriously finicky, so a less elaborate costume accessory for cats may help them warm up to the idea of cat costumes. If your feline already wears a harness to walk outside, a harness-style costume like this pair of batwings or rainbow costume may work well for them! Otherwise, a simple pet hood or a clown costume collar are easy ways to dress your cat in a Halloween costume!

 

Funny Cat Costumes

Funny pet costumes are some of our favorites (and the internet's), and you'll love these silly cat costumes! There are costumes for your cat with arms to look like little people from the front, and who could resist a food costume? The taco cat is incredibly iconic as one of our favorite palindromes! Of course, celebrities and popular character costumes for cats are always a hit. He is vengeance; he is the night; he is Batcat!

 

Cute Cat Costumes

Grumpy Bear CostumeSushi CostumePet TuxedoPink Ladies Jacket

Cats are cute and cuddly enough on their own, but there's something incredibly adorable about our furry friends in fluffy costumes. How cute would this grumpy bear costume be on a cat with a face like Grumpy Cat? Or, your kitty would look pretty dressed as one of the Pink Ladies. (Dare we say this is a fantastic group costume opportunity for the entire family?) And everyone knows that kitties love their fish, so this cat sushi costume is extra adorable!

 

Disney Cat Costumes

Sure, several official Disney cats like Duchess, Lucifer, and Sergeant Tibbs already exist. However, we'd love to see cats in a few more roles! These Disney cat costumes are pawsome, from Winifred Sanderson and Olaf to Zero and Eeyore. What other Disney characters would you love to see as cat costumes?

  

Animal Cat Costumes

Another favorite pet costume idea is animals dressing as other animals. It's cute and funny, and we don't know which is our favorite! The panda costume would be adorable on a black or a white cat, and what kitty wouldn't rock a penguin outfit? Even something as unexpected as a peacock or a spider costume looks super cute!

 

Dinosaur Cat Costumes

Do you want your kitty to match you in your inflatable T-Rex costume? Find a cat dinosaur costume for pets! The tiny arms on this cat T-Rex costume are hilariously adorable, or you could stick to a fun Triceratops hood. Perhaps you think your cat could rock a Stegosaurus costume. No matter which dino costume you choose, your cat is bound to look adorable. Welcome to Purrassic Park!

  

Scary Cat Costumes

Chucky CostumeGrim Reaper Costume

It is Halloween, so why not try a scary cat costume on your pet? (Although when we say scary, it's more related to the costumes being from horror or other popular Halloween characters. They're too cute to scare anyone!) This Chucky costume with floppy arms is hilariously adorable, and we wouldn't mind it if the grim reaper looked like this. If you'll excuse us, we have some photos to take!

 

Do you have a cat who wears costumes? What was your cat's first costume experience like? We'd love to hear from you in the comments! While cats in costume is still a relatively new concept, we only anticipate Halloween to get cuter from here!
