Cat Videos Are Great, But These Cat Halloween Costumes Are Better

One of the best parts of having a cat is squeezing them into adorable costumes. What’s better than turning a descendant of Mufasa into a floof of disgruntled cuteness? But if you’re going to risk taking a claw to the face, chose a cat Halloween costume that’s more than just a pair of bat wings. 

There’s no better year to go all-out with a cat costume than 2021. Not only are we super close with our pets now – like, can’t take a shower alone kind of close – this year also gave us some pretty iconic duos.

7 Cat Halloween Costumes

1. Space Race: Jeff Bezos and His Rocket Ship

Grab your cowboy hat and saddle up your co-captain for a flight around…your living room? This “billionaire’s space race” might cost a billion treats to bribe your cat into tolerating a rocket cone hat, but that’s the price you pay to touch the stars.

Available at Chewy.

2. Bridgerton: Daphne and Queen Charlotte

Naturally, your cat has to be Queen Charlotte, since they rule the house and we just pay rent. Petco nailed it with this Bootique cat dress and wig, made only for the most regal of cats. Channel Daphne Bridgerton by dressing up in your best Regency-era outfits.

Available at Petco.

3. Best Friends: Saweetie and Doja Cat

That my best friend, she protect and attack. Now, if you can get your hands on custom Dapper Dan x Gucci tweed sets for you and your bestie, go for it! Otherwise, just stick with the green and pink theme and add some added accessories to make the whole world wanna be y’all.

Available on Etsy.

4. Throg: Frog Thor and Loki

While we wait for Thor to make a human appearance in Loki, become your own God of Thunder-Son of Odin…muscle-less amphibian? Stay comfy in a frog onesie and a red bedsheet cape while your God of Mischief steals your thunder in this adorable yarn helmet.

Available on Etsy and Amazon.

5. Team USA: Olympic Gymnasts

Let the world know that you and your cat are the next members of Team USA with matching red tracksuits. Your cat has spent too much time practicing their cartwheels and flips to not make it to their next meet. Or meal, whichever comes first.

A top knot bun and red or white sweatsuit are easy costume necessities. You can even use aluminum foil and ribbon to DIY Olympic medals!

Available on Etsy.

6. Justice League: Batman and Wonder Woman

Recreate all 10 hours of Zack Snyder’s Justice League by trying to herd your cat and put a cape on them. While they can defend the litter box as Batman, you can play the part of Wonder Woman. Or Aquaman, but only if you have the hair to pull it off.

And if you have second feline friend to dress up, turn this into a group costume! Toss a Superman cape onto your other cat for some added drama.

Available at Pet Costume Center.

7. The White House: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

We round out these couples cat Halloween costumes with one that’s simple, hassle-free, and potentially scratch-free. First, throw on a classic Kamala power suit, or her iconic “We did it, Joe” track suit. 

And for your feline, check out these cat-sized Ray-Ban Aviator dupes that maybe your cat wouldn’t mind wearing for a minute or two. Just take the picture fast, ok?

Available on Etsy.
