Halloween must-haves

PetSmart's cat Halloween costumes come in comfortable, cat-friendly styles, paired with Halloween cat toys and themed collars and harnesses for the full look.

Choose from cat Halloween costumes like a pumpkin costume or a spooky collar. Whatever the style, make sure it doesn't restrict your cat's sight, hearing, or movement.

Halloween cat collars and harnesses come in designs like pumpkins and bats, so your cat can join the season on outdoor trips.

Halloween cat toys range from interactive teasers to plush mice, built to tap into your cat's natural hunting instincts.

Cats generally do better with something light, like a bandana, soft collar, or small hat, rather than a full-body outfit that restricts movement. If your cat tolerates more, simple themed pieces like a pumpkin costume or witch hat work well. Watch how they react and skip anything that seems to stress them out.

A black cat's coloring already does a lot of the work, so a small accessory like an orange bandana, a mini witch hat, or a bell collar can be enough on its own. If you want a full costume, choose one that leaves their face and whiskers uncovered, since cats rely on both to feel secure.

A quick DIY option is a soft bandana or felt collar with a small attached piece, like paper ears or a fabric bowtie, put together with pet-safe glue or stitching instead of anything with small, chewable parts. If you'd rather buy one ready-made, look for stretch fabric, no dangling pieces, and a design that keeps your cat's face and whiskers free.
