A tiny spotted Bengal kitten wears a brown cowboy hat, a denim vest and a bandana while sitting on a wooden porch. 20 / 24

A New Sheriff Rode Up to the Porch, and She Fit in a Teacup

AI imagebengal kittenhalloweencowboy costume

A brown cowboy hat sits snugly over a tiny Bengal kitten's ears, and a little denim vest and a dark bandana complete the look. Her gold-and-black spotted coat looks like a tiny wild cat, and her huge round eyes are wide with seriousness. She sits on weathered porch boards sprinkled with leaves, in front of a white railing, a jack-o'-lantern and a pot of orange mums.

Bengals are energetic, intelligent cats that need lots of play, climbing and exploration, so a costume is a bit of a challenge for such an active breed. A short try-on is plenty, with a hat that does not cover her eyes and a vest that is loose enough for her to move. Take it off at once if she freezes, flattens her ears or tries to hide. Bandanas should never be tied tight around a cat's neck. Bengals also love to jump, so keep high porches and railings off limits, and make sure she stays close to home. Toys that mimic prey, such as feather wands, let a Bengal burn off steam.

Dusty looks like she has just ridden into town and is waiting for someone to tip their hat. She holds her pose with great pride, though her paws are already itching for a game. After the photo, the old West will have to wait while she chases a feather.
