Cats are not dogs about dressing up, and the honest advice for most of them is to keep it minimal. A soft headdress on an elastic band is about as far as a typical cat will go: it goes on in a second, weighs almost nothing, and comes off with one hand when she has decided she has had enough, which will be sooner than you were hoping.

The band is elasticated rather than buckled, so there is nothing to adjust and nothing to over-tighten, and the bat wings are soft-bodied rather than wired, so nothing rigid sits against her ears. Set it behind the ears rather than over them. Ears are how a cat hears and how she tells you what she thinks of the situation, and covering them is the fastest way to bring the session to an end.

• Soft bat headdress on an elasticated band
• Nothing to buckle or adjust
• One size, single design
• Suitable for cats and small dogs
• Goes on and comes off in seconds

One size, no adjustment. With a single elastic band and no size options, this will suit an average cat's head and may be tight on a large dog or loose on a kitten. Supervised wear only, and never left on an unattended pet or worn during play with another animal.

Who it's for: Cat owners who want one Halloween photograph and know their cat will grant them roughly the length of a photograph.
