How to put it together

  1. Put on the black T-shirt or hoodie.
  2. Add black pants or jeans.
  3. Place the cat ears on your head.
  4. Add gloves, boots or eyeliner whiskers for extra cat flair.

Two variations

  • Midnight Prowler

    Add a long black scarf and green sparkly eyeliner for a mysterious look.

  • Cuddly Kitten

    Wear a hoodie and act sleepy and playful, stretching like a kitten.

Safety note

If you draw whiskers, use skin-safe eyeliner and do a patch test. Wear a tail only if it will not trip you in crowds.
