4 Cat Easter Costume Ideas

Cats are stealing the runway this Easter with some furtastic outfits. That’s because cat Easter costumes are the ultimate way to add a capital “C” to Cyoooot! And since Easter is all about festive fun with your family (which we know pets are to you), why not do it with flair.

Whether your holiday itinerary consists of an Easter hunt, a pet holiday or a trip to a cat café, there’s an outfit to match. And since temperatures are cooling off as we head into Autumn, now’s the perfect time for Kiwi cats to don their catwalk-ready feline outfits.

But safety first! If you dress up your pet it’s essential to keep a close eye on them so they don’t choke or overheat. You also want to ensure they aren’t emotionally distressed or in any physical discomfort (they are already wearing a fur coat after all)!

Furtastic cat Easter costumes

We’ve rounded up four favourite cat Easter costumes for your holiday selection.

In no particular order, here they are:

1. Easter Bunny
2. Tiaras and crowns
3. Flower wreaths
4. Easter pet detective

Now, scroll down and take your pick. These pics are simply too cute to miss!

#1. Bunny

Nothing spells adorable as much as cats and bunnies. That’s why when you add these two together it’s like a cuteness bomb. And because it’s Easter after all, the bunny costume is first on the list of ultimate cat Easter costumes.

Whether you just want the ears or a full body cat costume, we’ve rounded up a few places across New Zealand to choose from:

• Bunny ears pet headband accessory from Costume World
• Cap hat with bunny ears in multiple colours from DH gate, pictured above
• Full Easter bunny pet costume from Kmart
• Soft woolly crochet bunny ears cap from Pawsome Crochet

#2. Tiara

Celebrate Easter with your crowned glory… ahem… crowned kitty. We all know dogs love us more than they love themselves, while on the other hand, cats prefer to be worshipped. Hey, why not? Our cats make life pretty cool, after all.

So, next on the list of top cat Easter costume ideas is the tiara.

“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”

– Terry Pratchett

The tiara may just be the best of the lot. Not because it looks better than the rest, but because it’s a relatively small and unobtrusive cat Easter costume. Yet, it’s totally transformative (kind of like Cinderella’s glass slippers). Here are some options to choose from:

• We love this baby tiara for small cats or kittens by KohenKrafts.
• Another great option is a soft woolly crocheted crown by Pawsome Crochet
• A more traditional bejewelled gold or silver crown from MIYOPET

#3. Flower wreath

Easter is arguably one of the prettiest holidays (after Christmas, that is). It’s all about speckled eggs, candy-coated chocolate and a general assortment of bright springtime colours. This is why a flowery wreath had to have a spot on our list of cat Easter costume favourites.

Flower wreaths can be elegant monotone wreaths in all white, for example. Or they can be seasonal colours marking the end of the changing seasons. They’re so versatile. Perhaps you’ll make your very own authentic flower wreath using ones from the garden. Then again, if kitty gets hay fever it’s so easy to buy a readymade one in plastic.

#4. Pet detective

Everybody needs a partner on their Easter egg hunt. But! Be warned that cats (and dogs CAN’T eat chocolate).

This Sherlock Holmes look from MIYOPET is eggsellent. We thought it would be the perfect wrap for our list of top cat Easter costume options.

Cat insurance and dog insurance over Easter

Holidays are full of fun. But sadly they’re also a time pets are highly prone to eating something dangerous or getting knocked down by festivity-distracted drivers. Not to mention plenty of other everyday hazards.

Thankfully, one of the safest, fuzziest holiday feelings you can have is the feeling that comes from knowing you’ve protected your loved ones. And that’s exactly what pet insurance is all about.

Cat insurance and dog insurance are ways to put a small amount aside each month to protect your pet’s health. Then if the day comes you need to pay a whopping vet bill for surgery, vet hospital stays, prescription medication and so much more, you won’t be stretched. Besides, if you sign up with PD Insurance online you’ll get one or more months of free pet insurance today.
