Cats' Costume Ideas . . . Can't Get Much Cuter Than This!

PetSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:29:19 -0700

Let's be honest, sometimes it seems like dogs (and their people) have all the fun when it comes to Halloween. So this one's for all the kitty mommies with patient cats out there. If your feline wants to be a model, I've found the cutest costumes from one of my fave etailers, The Sophisticated Cat. The name doesn't say it all so see for yourself below. . . and order by Oct. 20 for holiday delivery!

Howl-o-ween Puppies Dressed as Cats (Literally)

PetSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:35:57 -0700

It's really cutting it close if you've yet to come up with a costume for your furry friend. When thinking about easy costumes for pets, I immediately thought of my go-to getup for years: cat ears. Simple enough for this Halloween grinch, but a tail . . . no, thanks.

Which brought back the memory of those cute pooches on Conan playing Puppies Dressed as Cats. If you're crafty, you can simply sew black felt bits on a existing black hoodie or to see some premade kitty costumes for the canines, read more.

Is Your Kitty a Red Devil?

Kitties can celebrate their own Meow-lo-ween, just don't get crazy with the costumes. Most finicky felines will protest a full-body suit with their paws and claws but a simple hat? Sure, why not. I know of a whole group dedicated to cats in hats you bought at Target and my recent trip to this superstore turned up some amazing results.

Sadly, I couldn't find the exact models online, but these caps come close to the cuteness. With black/white or brown/black stripes with the Red Horns, is $30 too much to buy in to this photo opp?

Cats Join the Meow-lo-Ween Costume Fun!

I said it couldn't be done - without scratches - but here are a dozen pics that prove me wrong. Get ready for Meow-lo-ween with fancy felines all decked out to celebrate this costumed holiday.

Ways to Keep Halloween Fun, Not Frightful, For Furry Friends

PetSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:30:52 -0700

The decorations are up and the candy's bought, but have your prepped your pets for this big day? Remember never force an animal into an outfit and keep him out of harm's way.

Who are you? Where am I? Costumes are scary and seeing Mom and Dad in masks or other bizarre ensembles can freak out your furry family (and kids). Similarly, all those spooky decorations, especially those that move and talk are equally frightful for observant pups.
No loose animals today. Don't leave pets in your yard on Halloween and bring indoor/outdoor cats inside. Disguises can cause people to behave differently and you don't want a pet to be teased, injured, scared (or worse!) by pranksters tonight.

Get two more tips when you read more.

Crowd control. If your pet will accompany your family trick-or-treating or to a parade, watch out for tiny pups under big feet. Make sure your dog is OK with strangers and noise before you set out and return home immediately if you see pooch is stressed. If you're throwing a pet-friendly bash, keep candy and chocolate away and follow these tips.
Minimal stress spots only. I know North freaks out at the doorbell and, if I lived in an area with trick-o-treaters, I would drop him off at a pet hotel for the night. If you think a pooch will get panicked by the constant buzzer, or frustrated that he can't go out, either sequester him in another part of the house away from candy or place a sign on the doorbell asking for knocks only, please.

Is Kitty's Dress Up Time Super Scratchy or Super Simple?

PetSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:00:17 -0700

I love seeing festive collars on both doggies and kitties but, admittedly, have a lot less personal experience trying to coax a cat into a special get-up – and I've heard enough tales to make me scared to try! My childhood feline, Precious, was tricky enough to lure into her crate for the vet and, to this day, I still can't imagine trying to coo her into a fancy collar or costume. All you kitty owners out there, tell me the truth, could you dress your cat . . . and escape unscathed or unscratched?
