The smallest possible costume is the one a pet barely registers, and a collar with a hat attached is close to that. There is no garment to pull over the head, nothing across the chest, and nothing that changes how your cat or dog moves around the room. It fastens like an ordinary collar, the miniature witch hat sits to one side, and the whole thing is off again in the time it takes to unclip a buckle.

For pets who genuinely hate being dressed, this is the version worth trying first. A full costume asks an animal to accept fabric against the ribs and the legs at once, whereas a collar asks for nothing they have not already worn every day of their life. It also means the photograph is achievable in one attempt rather than three, which is usually the difference between a fun evening and a stressed cat under the bed.
