"it is really cute but our cat's head is too little to keep it on her. she's still a kitten so hopefully she will grow up a little more and then it will fit. :<}"

— CrazyCatLove

"This is absolutely nothing like the first picture. Doesn't stay on, even if cat is still. As others said, it is huge, but also just awkward and very cheaply made."

Bottom Line

Given the consistent negative feedback, it is not recommended to purchase this costume for cats. The sizing issues and poor design make it impracticable for its intended purpose.
