Trying On My Reader’s Choice Halloween Costumes

September 28, 2020 By: Summer Samba34 Comments

Summer tries on her reader's choice Halloween costumes - the ones that won her recent poll.

You guys voted for them, and now I get to wear them! Here are the two Halloween cat costumes that got the most votes in my two polls: the red lobster and the ladybug. I know you are dying to see them on me. So let’s get started!

For some reason, my human thought it was a good idea to start by putting the lobster head on me first. I will say that I wasn’t compelled to whip it off. I just let it stay.

Now that I’ve got the whole thing on, I have to say, those of you who thought I should look elsewhere for a costume were right! This is just ridiculous. Nowhere near as bad as that spider costume from China, but definitely not good.

The ladybug costume was much cuter, but came with its own problems. After measuring me, my human decided she should get the Small instead of the X-Small like she normally would. Well, the hood part totally shrouded my face! Literally, I looked like ladybug Death. So she returned it to the La Canada-Flintridge Target (the closest Target that had it in stock), and got the X-Small. And that’s the one I’m wearing. The only problem is now the hood with the antennae is too small! It would barely stay on my head.

Here it is from the side. As you can see, as soon as I tried to turn my head, the hood started to go all wrong! Well, it is still a cute idea.

So, what did you think of my reader’s choice costumes? Let me know in the comments!

    We are not sure about either of these Summer but maybe if you took the lobster head with the ladybug outfit that would work. Like a Loby Bug Hee Hee

    We vote fer the Ladybug. The lobster has eyes on it and you already have eyes. Besides, Beins dont eat Ladybugs…

    Hmm . . . that just means you need your own purrsonal costume designer so that they are sized to your exact measurements. You still look pretty cute, though as a lobster and ladybug. Cheek nuzzles.

    Anything YOU are wearing is automatically upgraded by a couple of points, and thus we prefer the (admittedly weird) lobster outfit to the head-popping-off ladybug. But….keep looking.

    Well both costumes made us all laugh so hard. They really are cute honey. It’s too bad the antenna’s are so small on the ladybug costume. The lobster looks very fun! Purrs

    The ladybug is the best – still don’t like the
    lobster. Actually, if you are going for the “fright”,
    the lobster would do as it is scary.

    We think you can’t help looking cute, whatever you wear, Summer! But, we also think you need to have your very own seamstress!

    The lady bug is better, if you can find one that fits. Keep looking, we know you will find something “pawsome!”

    I think you are an adorable lobster and a cute ladybug, but there might be better costume options to be found

    The trouble is I like them both ! But I think I would choose the lady bug because a lobster can pinch you !

    The ladybug is cuter, but like you said, it is better if you don’t move. The lobster? Nuff said!

    Gee! Kind if makes you wonder if the designers really test the costumes on cats.
    One size does not fit all :/

    Purrs, Julie
