There are several different approaches to animal costumes like the Catwoman costume on the home page. One of them is the professional mascot approach. In this approach, your animal costume should look as cartoony as possible. Professional mascots all have a particular look that owes a lot to Disney animation. Many of the costumes are actually made by the same companies, and they all have a very slick appearance that focuses on making an outfit resemble a human form.  You can find many such costumes at this link!

Then again, it all depends on what you are wearing an animal costume for. Sometimes, animal ear costumes are the best. A lot of people like to dress up as cats, wolves, or other creatures with pointy ears because it looks attractive. With a little bit of face paint and some pointy ears, you can come up with a cheap animal costume. This is a great approach for Halloween parties – particularly ones held in college. It will give people the message that you are fun and flirty and open to talk to strangers. More importantly for many, it is less expensive than an animal mascot costume.

There is also the approach favored by kids animal costumes. In these, cuteness comes above all else. I remember my twin daughters wearing cat costumes one Halloween.  They were only 3 at the time.  We got a ton of comments from people as they all stopped and remarked how adorable they were!  The costumes can also be cartoony like animal mascot costumes, but with an important difference. The emphasis is on the eyes and adorable expressions. They can be soulful, pouty, sunshiny – any basic emotion. Although these costumes used to be used exclusively by children, nowadays they’re more popular with adults than ever. As a matter of fact, at the Halloween party I went to last year, this was the most popular animal costume design.

Finally, there are the animal costumes that strive for realism. Anyone can be a cute cartoony animal, but if you can come up with a realistic animal costume design, people will be really impressed with your look. It is an especially good effect if you’re trying to be scary. Dressing up as a wolf, mountain cat, or some other dangerous and vicious animal makes a big impression in Halloween parties.  Some of the best costumes I saw last year were costumes that looked realistic in so many ways….some scared the daylights out of my kids.  I remember a werewolf costume that the guy even had contacts to make his eyes a gold-yellow color.  I was told that his costume even won an award for the best costume of the night at a party he attended…he was very creative with it.  If I can find a picture of it, I’ll post it here.

Then again, you can always feel free to combine the different kinds of animal costumes until you find the right balance for yourself. The important thing is to create a fun costume design that you enjoy wearing and that looks good on you. Uniqueness counts a lot, so sometimes you can score more points by coming up with something totally original than with coming up with something that is traditionally “good.”  Check diffferent websites and videos out online to get some ideas of how they make theirs and combine their creativity with your ideas.  Halloween is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone and being someone else that inspires you…feel free to experiment!  Use clothing and crafts that you find around the house to enhance your Halloween costumes.

And saying all that I have said above have you seen this new fad?  It’s a fad that’s been going around for a while now and its one that’s definitely going to be around as long as people have cats as pets.  That’s the habit of putting cats into clothes. It’s not a new thing for sure, but it is one that’s been growing and growing over time, and that makes those sweet creatures always look grumpy to me. So why do people make cat clothes?

Like with dogs, it seems to be a reflection of the owner themselves that forces them into habitually putting their feline friends into cat clothes. Halloween or special occasions is OK but these can take the shape of something as simple as a head band or a hat, to the other extreme of full body costumes that imply that the wearer (the cat) wants to look in some way shape or form like the person their owners’ want them to look like. Its most definitely true that, judging by the picture of every cat ever seen wearing clothes or a Halloween cat costume, they have absolutely no interest themselves in looking like an angel, or a devil or whatever, so it’s a wonder that anyone goes to the bother of doing this – but nowadays it’s a business worth millions of dollars a year.

It may be said that some people do this out of a sense of loneliness, but it may be slightly backwards as there’s no doubt that a disgruntled and annoyed furry feline in cat clothes right now, is going to stay that way for some time after the removal of the offending costume.  Take this in consideration… a cat can shred your clothing and fingers using 5 points of its body!  It is not the type of animal that you want annoyed with you when you’re trying to remove a jersey from it, or un-velcro a jacket that necessitates that you come in contact with said shredding instruments.  Just be careful when deciding what to put on your cat or any animal for that matter!
