Make Your Cat Photo Ready With Funny Cat Costumes!

Are you toying with the idea of getting a costume for the cat? No need to wait for Halloween.

You know the cat would look super cute in a costume! We have done a thorough search to save you time finding the cutest costumes for cats.

Although these funny cat costumes may look intricate, a closer look will show that they are usually fastened with Velcro and are easy to put on and take off.

Depending on the mood of your cat, they may or may not be easy to put on and take off but at least Velcro gives you a fighting chance. This makes them a perfect photo opportunity. 

Some cats will tolerate costume wearing better than others. Some cats will tolerate no costume at all and other only for a very short time. Here is some information from Pet MD about pets wearing costumes. Remember short and sweet is the way to go.

A couple of photo taking tips:

1. Have a few kitty treats at hand to act as a distraction.
2. Wave a wand toy to give you those few seconds to get the perfect shot while the cat is distracted by the wand
3. Have your camera or phone ready to take the shot as the cat may scoot off in the seconds that it takes for you to get ready.

Get a coffee, maybe in a black cat coffee mug and enjoy looking at these funny cat costumes.
