A costume a cat will sit still in tends to be the one that touches them least, and a cloak is about as light a touch as dressing up gets. It hangs from the shoulders, leaves the legs and the chest free, and lifts away in a single movement the moment your pet has had enough of the whole business. The horned hat adds the character without adding anything that has to be fastened around the body.

The variant labels are worth reading before you order. Rather than one bundle, the choices are listed as an Angle Hat and a Bat Cloak, both in an average size, which reads as two separate pieces sold as options rather than a set that arrives together in the box. We would rather flag that than let you assume both are included. Five photographs show the cloak and the hat, and dark colours photograph better against a pale coat than against black fur.
