If you’re a cat mom like me, I’m sure you’ve been to the pet store multiple times already and noticed that Halloween costumes have filled up the aisles. Sure, most of them may be intended “for dogs,” but we all know our fuzzy friends want to get in on the holiday spirit of things as well. It’s perfectly adorable to get your hands on some costumes to wear with your cat this Halloween. In fact, you can pair up for a perfectly festive duo that will make all of your friends scrolling through Instagram smile uncontrollably.

Just put together your most sea-worthy outfit from what you have in your closet, and top it off with a DIY eye patch out of string and black paper.
