A Little Ghost Wandered Into the Living Room. The Eye Holes Were Off.

AI imageexotic shorthairhalloweenghost costume

A white sheet drapes over a tiny red tabby kitten, and two round holes cut for the eyes have turned out slightly too low. As a result, the holes sit near his chest while his big amber eyes and squashed little nose peek out above the cloth. The flat orange face looks puzzled but unbothered. He stands on a woven rug in a living room where a pair of sneakers sits by the couch and a basket of fall leaves waits in the corner.

A sheet costume is a classic, but cats can easily get tangled in loose fabric, so check the fit. Make sure the kitten can see, breathe and move his legs freely, and keep it on for only a short time. A better idea is a lightweight cape or collar-style costume. Exotic Shorthairs are quiet, laid-back cats with a plush coat and a flat face, and because of that face they may be prone to breathing and tear stain trouble, so stay gentle and calm. Never leave a kitten alone while wearing a costume, and talk to your vet if you have any questions about a breed's needs.

Bean the ghost may not be the scariest spirit on the block, but he is definitely the fluffiest. He appears to have accepted the sheet as part of his job and is ready to haunt the carpet. If he stays still, it will be hard to tell who is more surprised.
