10 Adorable Pet Halloween Costumes So Cute, You Could Eat 'Em Up

Did somebody order a pizza-cat, extra cheese?

October 11, 2018

Halloween is about a lot of things. There's trick or treating, watching Practical Magic yet again, and eating one million Reese's cups—and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Enter hilarious and adorable pet costumes, from stage right through the cat flap.

We've come to terms with the fact that we may never be able to top the I Should Buy a Boat cat. So we've decided to stick to our knitting—but please, keep the yarn away from our cats!—for 2018: Here are a few of our favorite food-related Halloween costumes for your furry best friends.

(And just remember, if your animal looks physically uncomfortable, it's not worth it! A happy animal is the cutest animal of all.)

I once tried to dress up my cats in Halloween head pieces. That lasted about 5 minutes. I think they're still bitter about that experience.

Oh no! :) What were the head pieces?
 
HalfPint October 12, 2018
One was a chicken head and the other was a 'wig' with braids.

The chicken head sounds priceless!
 
HalfPint October 12, 2018
Not as priceless as the look I got when I put it on the cat's head.

Omg I wish my dog would tolerate clothes. I'd put her in all of these, starting with the pineapple.

The lobster chihuahua looks so miserable. He's my favorite.
