Deciding on a holiday costume is easy, but deciding on a Halloween costume for your feline is decidedly not. Why? Because cats have their own moods and personalities. Unlike dogs, cats do not play dress up. Some cats feel at ease in a simple shirt, some go out in the streets and pick fights with dogs, and some just stretch on the couch and yawn all day. No matter the personality, every kitty deserves a pawsome costume for the spooky season. After all, why should humans have all the fun?
Honestly, there’s no need to go through the struggle of scrolling for hours on your phone in search of a good costume; you can simply make one on your own with a few supplies and a bit of creativity. But if you still need some ideas, then you are at the right place.
