Why it works

  • pets

    It reads as a centipede

    The shell runs past their own tail and drags, so the outline is nothing like a cat.

  • bolt

    On in seconds

    Hood over the head, straps under the chest, done. Off just as fast when they have had enough.

  • volunteer_activism

    Soft and padded

    A quilted body and a velvet hood. Nothing rigid anywhere on it.

    How it goes on

    • scuttlecat-step-hood

      Hood over the head

      The face comes through the opening and the antennae sit up top. The hood is velvet and holds its shape.

    • scuttlecat-step-shell

      Shell along the back

      Nine padded sections run from the shoulders down, with a row of legs out each side.

    • scuttlecat-step-tail

      Tail sleeves over theirs

      Their own tail goes inside the last section, so it trails behind and finishes the shape.

      Nobody sees it coming

      It is not really a costume for the cat. It is for the delivery driver, the neighbour and whoever you live with, in the two seconds before they work out what they are looking at.

      What cat mums say

        My husband actually shouted

        Put it on her before he got in from work and let her wander down the hall. He made a noise I have never heard him make. Worth it for that alone, and she did not seem to mind wearing it.

        Straps are the good bit

        I expected a faff and it took about ten seconds. The straps go under the chest and it just sits there. She walked off in it like nothing had happened.

        Great, took a while to arrive

        Two and a half weeks, so order early if you want it for the 31st. No complaints about the thing itself, the padding is thicker than it looks in the photos.

        Went with the tan one

        Ordered the black and tan because our cat is jet black and I thought the red might be a lot. It looks brilliant outside. The tail dragging behind is what sells it.

        Questions, answered

        straighten

        Will it fit my cat?

        It is adjustable. The hood pulls over the head and the straps take up the slack under the chest, so it sits on most adult cats. If it does not work for yours, send it back within 30 days.

        pets

        Will my cat put up with it?

        Some cats wear it happily, some give you thirty seconds. Put it on, get your photos, take it off. Never leave a cat in it unsupervised and take it off the moment they are unhappy.

        What is the difference between the colours?

        Only the legs and antennae. Black with red, or black with tan. The body and hood are the same on both.
