Cats are adorable, no matter how you cut it. But sometimes pet owners go a little overboard with forcing their independent feline friends into costumes that 1) they are miserable in, 2) aren\u2019t even that cute, or 3) are just downright confusing. This line of up wanna-be Halloween costume winners have left us baffled (if not a little, teensy<\/em> bit amused)!<\/p>\n

This is just awkward for several reason. The cat looks uncomfortable (I hear you, cat. \u00a0We don\u2019t like wearing those party hats either!), and the beer in the background isn\u2019t even the Irish classic Guinness! So many feelings\u2026 we just have to move on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Somebody\u2019s pet parent went a little overboard this year. \u201cThanks for making us match, Mom. In pink\u2026chef costumes.\u201d Their social lives will never be the same. And the cat knows it<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Jailbird Pete, the Peterbald cat who is doing time (and penance for having to wear these hideous stripes. Fortunately, horizontal lines can\u2019t make this skinny guy look fat.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A cat dressed as a cheerleader? \u00a0Oh yes, because in the domestic pet world, cats ALWAYS deserve the spirit award. \u00a0(Somewhere all Labs and Golden Retrievers are collectively dying of laughter).<\/p>\n

\"cheerleader-cat\"<\/p>\n

If the goal was to make him look like an actual pumpkin\u2026 FAIL. Just, fail.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAnd what\u2019s with the misguided holiday costumes, like an odd little Christmas tree kitty? Crotchet. Green yard. That\u2019s a double loss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026as is Rudolf\u2019s brown-nosed reindeer friend. Stop making us think about Christmas in October! I mean, the hallmark stores start blowing up the second Halloween is over. Why begin the madness now? We just want one minute of PEACE, people. Just one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am not sure who is more disgruntled, the cats in costumes or the dogs dressed as cats. This Bulldog does look euphorically happy after all. It is amazing how much humiliation our pets put up with!<\/p>\n
