Pet Costumes?

Anyone ever dress their pets up for Halloween? I havn't, but I think it'd really be cute.
I've seen some really cute doggie costumes, and I've even seen Ferret Costumes, but I havn't seen much for cats. A cat could probably fit into a small dog costume though.
(Maybe you could dress your dog as a cat and your cat as a dog!
)
In any case, I thought I'd bring the topic up, if anyone has any cute pet costumes perhaps they could post it here or bring up some ideas for pet costumes.
I would love to dress up my cat...but I think she'd claw my eyes out.
Even if I could get the costume on chances are she'd probably have it off within seconds.

I have a little white Malti-Poo dog. Last Halloween he was still a puppy and only weighed about 5lbs. I dressed him up as a skunk and took him ToTing with my kids. He was more of a hit than the humans!!!

I have one large black lab female dog. Four Maltese small dogs, one maltese - westie dog (all males), Two Shiz-tz (a male and a female).
And, a Siberian Husky and a mixed little brownie husky.
Wow! I got 11 dogs!

We bought our cat a little paperboy hat and vest a couple years ago. It was funny, to us. She rolled around on the floor like she was in a straight jacket or something. So we took it off. Cats don't do well with costumes. She had this angry look on her face for a few hours afterwards.
The Halloween party we went to last year had a little chihuahua dressed up like a cowboy. I think I have a cellphone pic I can post. It was pretty funny.

They had this cute pirate hat that I'd love to get for my cats at pet co. But it was rather pricey, and I think they'd claw me a new one if I tried.
So yes, they have little collars and hats and capes for kitties, and some doggie costumes at pet co now. At least they actually had costumes and toys for cats, all I ever see is dog stuff. And sometimes even ferret stuff online. But I rarely see stuff for cats, and that's funny because I thought cats were more popular than ferrets. I do like ferrets of course, but I like cats a lot more.
I did go to a walmart that had stuff for cats, but it wasn't my local walmart that's five minutes away. All they had was dog stuff. It's discrimination I tell you!

I love dressing our dog up for Halloween every year! I think it's especially fun if you live in a neighborhood with a lot of trick-or-treaters, its so fun for all the kids to see the dog dressed and they usually love it! (That is if you have a nice dog)

I just joined the forum and I hope that I am never too late to suggest.
I just wanna share my experience with dressing my pet with
animal costume and everyone in the party really enjoyed what my pet looked like!
I'll be digging my memory box for the pictures and I'll update this thread.. Hhmmm, I remember searching for that costume at Amazon, FantasyToyland.com, and Ebay. Great finds!

My sister has a little pom-a-poo puppy and this year that little furball is going as a velociraptor! She's going to come along TOTing with my little niece. Hopefully we can convince my sister-in-law to let my niece be a dinosaur too. Then it'll be like someone opened the gates at Jurassic Park!!

I have never owned an animal that would have tolerated being dressed up for anything.

I used to have a ferret and I tried dressing her up one year and you would have thought she needed and exorcist, the way she flopped around trying to get it off. I learned my lesson after that

I have had the same problem before, but after owning a duschan, I finally enjoyed dressing him up with
animal costumes that he also loves!

We have a ladybug hat that I used to put on one of my cats when he was smaller. There were earholes and a strap under the chin. HILARIOUS! His mom (my black cat) figured out how to eat it so it no longer exists.
Last year I bought a small dog dress for my cat and she became CATatonic. ROFL, i couldn't resist! Seriously though, it paralyzed her. She froze up and just laid there until I took it off. I don't think she was mad, more embarrassed because we were all laughing. My cat is possessed by a dog by the way. =)
