If You Want The Easiest Halloween Costume, These Cat Looks Will Do The Trick

When brainstorming your Halloween costume, things can get a little too complicated on the quest for creativity. And so I pose the question, what's wrong with keeping things simple and original? The answer is nothing and lucky for you there are so many avenues for achieving easy cat costumes for Halloween 2017. This is great news considering that the cat is a classic go-to Halloween idea.

Our furry feline friends, as we know from their abundant internet fame, have quite the personality. That's what make cats so lovable. While some are curious and will leap from sofa to wall to tackle a laser beam, others just want to lazy in a sunny spotlight for the entire afternoon. I, for one, would love nothing more than to throw on a sweatshirt, paint on a few whiskers with my liquid eyeliner, tie two buns on top of my head and head out to eat candy with friends this Halloween. In fact, I just might.

And if you feel like you've dressed as a cat one too many times in your Halloween party attending days, I assure you that there is no such things as ~too many~ times. Because maybe you haven't thought to dress up as a different kind of cat! These are easy to achieve costume ideas that are so cute they might just sway a dog person to the cat side.
