Gearing up for Halloween, we’ve already seen our share of humans dressing up like cats, but how about some costuming felines? Of course, as we’re sure all you cat people out there already know, getting kitty dressed up in a ridiculous outfit is a lot easier said than done.
…Or is it? Turns out the owner of Maru, “the most famous cat on the internet” has devised an easy way to get even the most stubborn of felines to get into the Halloween spirit with these cute animal costumes.
In a recent upload, Maru the Cat can be seen dressing up as a number of different animals suits or kigurumi, designed especially for him by his loving owner.
▼ “Next, please.”
▼ “This humiliates both of us, you know…”
▼ “Human. Wat r u doing to Maru? Stahp.”
But just how did Maru’s owner get him to stay still so long?

By giving him something he couldn’t resist!
Pretty clever if you ask us!
