Fluffy Cat Gets His 'Spooky On' In Count Dracula Costume & Instantly Becomes A Model
Have you ever taken the time to really notice your cat's razor-sharp teeth, predatory nature, nocturnal wakefulness, and mysterious aloofness, and then wondered if your sweet little kitty might, perhaps, be a blood-sucking vampire? In a fun post on Facebook, the owner of a fluffy cat named Phoenix dresses up her pet as a vampire, but instead of being terrifying, the end result is beyond adorable. "Gettin his spooky on...this Phuzz muffin loves playing dress up 🐾♥️ Phoenix my boy 🥰," reads the caption.
Netizens praised the handsome fluffball, leaving comments like "Incredible magnificent kitty 🔆💜❤️" and "Wow this kitty 🐱 cat is so lovely 🥰!" One person pointed out that Phoenix seemed less than thrilled to be decked out in the Count Dracula costume, writing, "If looks could kill."
Phoenix is definitely one of those gloriously fluffy kitties who looks dapper even when dressed in a silly costume. Other Facebook posts show that Phoenix is no stranger to dressing up, with the easygoing cat wearing sunglasses and a sunhat (with little holes cut out for his ears) and a sweatshirt and thick gold chain.
Should you dress up your own cat for spooky season?
If you're considering dressing up your own precious pet for Halloween, know that most cats aren't as chill as Phoenix and don't enjoy wearing costumes. Cats often dislike the feeling of clothing and accessories on their fur and whiskers, and costumes can interfere with how they walk or jump and make it difficult for them to groom themselves. A costume might also cause a cat to overheat.
If you do choose to go with a costume, be sure to pay close attention to your cat's body language. If your cat hisses, hunches over, bites, or shows other signs of stress and discomfort, remove the clothing immediately. If your cat freezes or flops over in the costume, that's a sign of extreme distress.
