Best Halloween Costumes for Cats 2009

Has your kitty cat told you what he/she wants to be for Halloween yet? There isn't much time left to get a costume ordered for your four-legged friend before they're all sold out; just a mere two months. When it comes to Halloween costumes for cats, there aren't a lot of costume choices that are specific to cats though several websites list their costumes as being for either a cat or a dog. I have searched the internet and chosen five of the best Halloween costumes for cats to assist you in making a safe and fun choice for your pet this year.

Best Halloween Costumes for Cats #1: Puss in Boots Kitty Crusader Cat Costume at Amazon.com for $11.62

This is a charming costume for your cat that includes three parts; a belted cape, elasticized hat, and booties. It is made from lightweight polyester and the hat includes a small feather. Your cat will be ready to fight against any dastardly villains who come his way. The costume comes in a size large that will fit necks from ten to twelve inches. There is an additional shipping fee of $5.68 when ordering this item.

Best Halloween Costumes for Cats #2: Little Stinker Skunk Costume at handsnpaws.com $19.00 to $38.00

Dressing your cat as a skunk will certainly catch people's attention! This costume is your classic skunk in black and white. It slips onto your cat with Velcro closures for easy access. There is a coordinating headpiece that has an elastic band to fit on your pet's head. The Little Stinker skunk costume is available in five sizes; X-Small (fits up to 8"); Small (fits 8"- 12"); Medium (fits 12"- 16"); Large (fits 16"- 20") and X-Large (fits 20"- 24").

Best Halloween Costumes for Cats #3: Your Royal Highness (King and Queen Costumes) at SpoiledRottenKitties.com for $26.95 each

The King cape says "The King" and the Queen cape says "The Queen." There will never be any doubt again as to who runs the household!

Best Halloween Costumes for Cats #4: Cat in the Hat Costume at buycostumes.com for $16.99

While this costume is listed as a dog costume, it is available in smaller sizes so I believe it would work for a cat too. Plus, I found the thought of dressing a cat as The Cat in the Hat character for Halloween too much fun to leave it off the list! This costume is made so that the front legs of your pet fit inside the pant legs of the "suit" so your cat will look like a "person" with arms from the front. There is a red bow tie attached to the front of the suit. A red and white striped hat comes with the costume and it ties onto your pets head. The costume comes in four sizes; Small; Medium; Large and X-Large. Once your pet is dressed as The Cat in the Hat, he will be ready to cause all kinds of mischief and mayhem, just like the character in the book written by Dr. Seuss.

Best Halloween Costumes for Cats #5: Zelda Pink Bouffant Secretary Wig and Glasses Pet Costume at Spirithalloween.com for $19.99

This costume is fun and comes all pretty in pink! Your cat will make all the other kitties jealous as she strolls in wearing her 1950's style pink bouffant wig, pink cat-eye glasses frames and a pink shirt. The costume comes in three sizes; small, medium and large.

Once you've chosen a costume for your cat and gotten it ordered and delivered, you'll want to get your cat all dressed up for Halloween. Next you'll want to take plenty of pictures, so grab your digital camera, extra batteries and click away!
