These Cats Got Dressed up for Halloween and Their Costumes Are Incredible
Updated Oct. 30 2023, 1:49 p.m. ET
Dressing up your pup for Halloween is almost a societal expectation these days, and TBH it makes total sense — although the average dog simply can't stand the feeling of those $30 Target costumes (Doug the Pug is an outlier), they never fail to look straight-up adorable.
This spooky season, however, felines are stealing the limelight by sporting the cutest of costumes. Seriously, if you haven't seen these cats in Halloween costumes, they are game-changing.
1. This Cat-vocado Toast
Everyone and their mother knows that cat-vocado toast is the basic betch's breakfast of choice. Don't lie — you could totally gobble up this adorable kitty in a matter of minutes.
2. A Pizza With Cat-zarella Cheese
There is truly nothing better than a good, old-fashioned pizza party, and this kitty totally proves it. What's better than giant kitty eyes and spicy pepperoni? Seriously, we can't think of anything.
3. This Kitty Dressed as a Panda
Is this a panda? Or is it a cat? To be honest it's pretty hard to tell if this is a costume, or if it's really just part of his body. But we'll worry about that later.
4. Just Your Run-of-the-Mill Pine-cat-pple
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? This little guy! With a leafy headpiece and a bright yellow body suit, there is truly nothing sweeter than a pine-cat-pple.
5. A Kitty K-lobster in His Natural Habitat
If you were looking to sit down for a lobster dinner, this probably wasn't what you had in mind. But sharing a meal with this little guy is basically a dream come true.
Between those plush claws and giant eyes, there's no way anybody could dream of eating this love bug.
6. A Devilish Kitty
Don't get me wrong — we love our furry friends more than anything in the whole world. But sometimes your beloved feline is quite literally the devil, whether they're smashing your belongings, waking you up in the middle of the night, or simply wreaking havoc left and right.
So it's safe to say this is a lovingly ironic costume for any cat owner out there.
7. A Spooky Bumble-Cat
We usually try to avoid bees at all costs (for obvious reasons), but giving love to this bee is simply inevitable. Between those giant eyes, adorable antennas, and most importantly, no stingers, it's the bee of our wildest dreams.
Truly sweeter than honey.
8. A Luminesce Cat-o'-Lantern
Cat-o'-lanterns are the new jack-o'-lanterns, people — if you aren't putting your pump-cat on display, you're definitely doing Halloween wrong.
9. This Haunting Cat-Bat
It's a bat! It's a cat! It's ... a bat-cat? This feline is flightless, but adorably spooky nonetheless. If this flew into our house we definitely wouldn't be mad about it.
10. This Mac 'n' Cheese Cat
Seeing this adorable sphynx cat named Ichabod dressed as some delicious mac and cheese has us craving some kitten cuddles and some yummy food. Can we have both? It's not too much to ask ...
11. E.T. Phone Cat?
We're officially obsessed with this meowmy and her kitty Chupie in their Elliott and E.T. costumes. We would very much appreciate if this flawless feline would call us after calling home.
12. A Home Goods Helper
Chase from @dontstopmeowing makes for the cutest little Home Goods employee, no? We already loving shopping there anyway, but if Chase could be the one showing us where the accent cabinets are, we'd be here for it.
13. Kitty Goes to Paris Once...
... and is now an expert in all things Parisian, clearly. But for real, would any of us beat @miyopet's kitty's style? We think not.
14. Catula
Monk the vampire cat is ready for Halloween every day out of the year, so why not Halloween too? We would invite Monk and his brother Bean into our home any day!
15. Spider-Cat
Move over, Spider-man. There's a new spidey in town ... and it's Brutiss. This sweet perfect baby, who has cerebellar hypoplasia, is our favorite superhero ever.
It pretty much goes without saying that a cat in a Halloween costume is vastly underrated. There is truly nothing cuter than a cat attempting to be spooky, so if your cat isn't dressing up for Halloween, please change that ASAP — we need more costume-wearing-cats in our lives, y'all.
