"How to be a cat. Ashton here, is wondering, a little bit harder to do kitty cat outfit but there's lots of great patterns and they're easy to follow for the most part. And of course, there's great furs out there for your cat, but they come in all, I think they come in the covers, and the little glove mitts and easy tail to attach, and of course the little hoods and whatnot. These cats are great for your little ones, especially trick or treating, it's usually very cold during Halloween, and it's great to keep them all bundled up. Of course, this is a little bit harder to do, an easy kitty cat would be to perhaps get some black leggings or pants, some kind of black jumpsuit or a leotard, any of those things would make an easy black body for you to start your kitty cat with. You can also find easy, already made tails, or these are quite easy to make, just by purchasing some black fur fabric, gluing the insides together and put in a nice little wire rod up in there. Allowing you to twist it at will if you want to do something like that, or you just simply stuff t and attach it to the back of their black body suit, leotard, whatnot, that they each use for the black cat body. There's also easy to do cat ears out there. Or if you want to do something at home, a very easy thing to do is just to get some cardboard or construction paper, cut out some lovely little ears, hot glue them onto a headband, simply painting these, covering them with fur, with glue, is all very simple, easy and fun for you to do with the little one if that's what they're choosing to do is be a cat. There's also very elaborate kitty cat headdresses that you can also purchase and put over your black leotard, jumpsuit, whatnot. And of course, every little kitty cat needs to finish off with some lovely little kitty cat makeup, some little black on the nose, some whiskers, and if you want to be very dramatic, there's always the Broadway cats makeup style to follow with more elaborate and browns or grays or whatnot. You can do that as a more creative face prop. Maybe, better for older children that can handle that much makeup. But, all very simple, easy to do, and great for your little kitty cat at home."
