A cloak is the gentlest costume there is, because it hangs from the neck and shoulders rather than enclosing the body. Nothing goes over a leg, nothing tightens round the chest, and the whole thing lifts off in one movement the moment your pet has had enough. Printed with stars and paired with a matching pointed hat, it makes a complete look out of two loose pieces rather than one fitted garment.

Nine options are listed, covering the cloak on its own, the hat on its own, and the two together as a suit, each in small, medium and large. That is worth knowing before you order, because the hat is the piece most pets object to and buying the cloak alone is a perfectly legitimate choice. Pointed hats also sit high and catch on door frames, which is another good reason to keep the wearing time short.
