An Orange Cat Put On Bat Wings and Looked Perfectly Unbothered

AI imageorange catbat wingshalloween porch

A pair of small black bat wings is strapped to the back of a very fluffy orange cat, and he wears them with total calm. He sits on the porch step with his chin lifted and his amber eyes fixed on something far away, his long fur glowing in the afternoon light. Corn stalks lean against the porch, orange pumpkins sit by the door and a few leaves drift across the boards.

Bat wings are one of the simpler costumes for cats since they do not cover the face. Even so, a harness-style outfit should fit comfortably and not pinch under the legs, and a cat should be introduced to it slowly with plenty of treats. Take it off if he flattens his ears, hides or tries to roll out of it. Long-haired cats like this one can get matted under straps, so brush him after wearing it. On a porch, supervise carefully and use a harness and leash if he is outside, since a cat in costume can be startled by cheerful trick-or-treaters. Many cats are happiest in their regular fur.

The wings may not help him fly, but they do give him a very dramatic profile. If he looks a little regal, that is only because he is, and the bats of the neighborhood can only be jealous.
