Catahedron Costume

Step 8 Final fitting

Once the frame is attached to the quilt the costume it's ready to go! Gently coax your cat into it and admire your work!

At first I was worried that my cat would be unhappy wearing the costume, but as it turns out he really likes it. Like many cats, he's got a strong instinct to sit inside of things so even when I took the costume off of him he got right back in. I would worry about him injuring himself if he wore it while I wasn't directly supervising him, but he definitely seems to appreciate the concept. Also, he appears to be able to walk around freely while wearing the costume, which is adorable!

While your cat is not wearing the tetrahedron it can be placed on its side to make a quilted cat tent-nook-bed thing, which both my cats (even the one that's far too skittish to be costumed) like very much.

Happy Halloween!

The costume would be lighter and safer if the frame were made of plastic drinking straws. We used to make tetrahedron kites out of straws, string, and tissue paper. Pass the kite string through five straws (just suck the string through from the other end), tie into a <|> shape (imagine those triangles being a bit bigger there!), and add another straw for the final leg of the tetrahedron.

With the fabric, though, you probably could dispense with the string, or just use a thin elastic. No worries regarding poking wires!

So cute...I can't believe the cat likes it so much. It's like a mini house for him too. I can't even get my dog to wear a shirt, much less a costume. Nice instructable.

Does the cat "Like It" or is it thinking up new and painful ways to get even at about 3:00 in the morning....LOL
