Cat From Head to Toe

Throughout the ages, cats have inspired us in an infinite number of ways.

The Egyptians worshipped felines, as depicted in their intricate hieroglyphics.

And look, he’s even donning a scarf!

Later, cats inspired artists with their majestic demeanour.

A real mews

Today, cats are inspiring countless fashion trends, which enable cat enthusiasts to accessorize all while demonstrating their love of all things feline. Today, we look at just a few that we have found during our travels!

Hair

This colourful and edgy ‘do (Fig. 1.1), enough said. Ok one more: this video tells you how to make cat ears with your hair!

Make-Up

We know nothing about make-up, but here are some ideas: the kitty cat (apparently it is a way of doing your eye make-up that ressembles a cat eye), this tutorial on how to look like a cast member of Cats, the Broadway musical, this over-the-top eye make-up (Fig. 2.1), and this guy (we saw him in person at the Just for Cats Video Festival in Toronto, and believe us, it was an experience…).

Shoes

Check out these irresistible slippers from Nordstrom, these funky sunglass-cat flats, and these utterly bizarre black mousetrap heels (Fig. 3.1).

Jewellery

Behold this lovely brooch (which, alas, was on eBay but has since sold!), this classy cat ring, this mysterious cat charm necklace (Fig. 4.1), and these absolutely ravishing earrings.

Accessories

No outfit would be complete without matchy-matchy accessories; take your pick from this quirky knit bag (Fig. 5.1), this kitty cat Bic lighter for the smokers out there, this pair of warm-looking earmuffs and mittens, this actually pretty neat infinity scarf, this classy umbrella, these blingy hair pins or this headband, this endearing temporary tattoo, these bandages for those awkward moments when you’re playing with kitty and he goes in for a bite (check out our advice column on what to do if this happens to you!), and of course a CAT phone case for the cat/CAT lovers who are extremely hard on their phones.

Clothes

The pawssibilities are literally endless, but here is a brief selection: this cat-print patterned blouse, this sweater which we assume is meant to be in the style of “ugly Christmas”, this witty tank, this slightly alarming tea party get-up, your choice of this must-have raver-style cat onesie or this cosplay type onesie, this unbelievably amazing Kitty Kong t-shirt (Fig. 6.1) and this obligatory hipster cat t-shirt, this, whatever this is, these eerily life-like socks (which we own and they are pretty spectacularly cat-tastic), and these playful nylons.

Cats in Hats

Dr. Seuss was on to something when he wrote his famous rhyming tale of a quirky cat donning a striped red and white hat. Years after its publication, hats for cats have become ubiquitous across social media. Whether your furry friend is looking to dress it up for a special occasion (like a Grand Kitty Wedding), or simply look “lit”, you are sure to find the right headwear for your clawed companion. Below, we take a look at some of the latest trends in cat hats.

Etsy seems to be the one stop shop for all things cat and hat. Here we find a delightful assortment of headgear, including but not limited to holiday hats (check out this adorable turkey hat for Thanksgiving, this comical Leprechaun hat for St Catrick’s Day, and this potentially humiliating Christmeows tree hat), hats for special occasions (behold this dignified graduation cap for kitties who have successfully completed clawllege, this playful birthday hat for kitty’s big purrty, and this dapper felt wedding top hat so kitty can look his best as he struts down the aisle), and finally, hats for every day dress-up fun (of particular note are a cat Viking helmet and a cat wizard hat, which everykitty would be lucky to own).

If your cat is not comfortable in his feline skin, there are several options available.

First, there is a quite fetching Lion costume available from Meowingtons, which will transform your docile long hair domestic into a purrfectly ferocious predator.

Or maybe kitty would prefer something a bit less carnivorous:

Let’s not forget about the infamous and highly sought-after inflatable unicorn horn for cats, which is available on Amazon for the unbeatable price of $6.34. This must-have kitty accessory features high quality vinyl and a four point elastic strap. What’s more, it seemingly “makes your cat extraordinary”.

Alternatively, perhaps your cat’s hat desires are more utilitarian, and he simply wants to look good on his first day on the job:
