Two straps, no fabric on the body.
Two straps and a pair of felt wings. Nothing sits on the back, nothing wraps a leg, and the animal is carrying about the weight of its own collar.

Why you'll love it
The animal wears two narrow straps. There is no panel over the back, nothing under the belly and no sleeve, which puts this alongside the bandana as one of the two things a reluctant cat will usually accept.
Stiffened felt keeps the scalloped wing outline without any wire, so there is nothing rigid to bend out of true and nothing sharp inside the costume.
The small weighs twenty seven grams. On a cat that is roughly the weight of a collar and a tag, which is a load the animal is already carrying and used to.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
A narrow band at the throat, a second behind the front legs, and a flat felt shape sitting above the shoulders. That is all of it. The smallest pair weighs twenty seven grams, which for a cat is close to the weight of the collar and tag it already wears without complaint.
Because the felt is stiffened rather than wired, the wing shape holds itself without anything rigid inside the costume. There is no armature to bend out of true and nothing that could work through the fabric and press on the animal.
The listing states that the chest strap is reinforced so that it is difficult for dogs to take the wings off by themselves. That is written as a selling point. It is worth turning over, because what it actually describes is a costume the animal cannot escape from without a person.
For a supervised twenty minutes that is fine and even useful, since the wings stay put for the photographs. Left on an unattended animal it removes the one safety mechanism a pet has, which is the ability to shed something it has decided it dislikes.
The same supplier listing carries a spider style under the same product code, with furry legs instead of wings. We have not offered it, for two reasons. It duplicates the plush spider costume already in this range, and the two would sit on the same shelf competing with each other on price rather than on merit.
The listing also bundles a two pack under what it calls a colour axis, which is a quantity rather than a colour. That is not offered either. What remains is one style in three sizes, which is what the product actually is once the listing is untangled.

The details
| Size | Weight |
|---|---|
| S | 27 to 46g |
| M | 66g |
| L | 78 to 121g |
The supplier publishes no wingspan or strap measurements, only weights, and we would rather print that than invent a chart. Fit by the chest strap: it closes behind the front legs, so whatever size harness your animal takes is the size to pick here. Small suits most cats and kittens, medium a large cat or a terrier, large anything up to about spaniel width.
Loved by real pet parents
We have tried four things on this cat over the years and two of them ended in a chase round the kitchen. These went on with no drama because there is nothing under the belly and nothing over the head. Wings above the shoulders and two narrow straps is apparently the acceptable amount of costume.
The wings look excellent and the stiffened felt keeps the scalloped shape without any wire in it. The hook and loop does grab at the long fur around his ruff, so I part the coat before pressing it down. Not a deal breaker, just a two handed job on a fluffy dog.
Our cat will not wear anything with a panel on it, and this is essentially a neck band and a chest strap with wings on top. She noticed for about a minute and then went back to sleep on the stairs. The small weighs twenty seven grams, which is roughly her collar and tag together.
A previous set had wire in the edges and one wing bent out of true in the first week. These are stiffened felt with nothing rigid inside, so there is nothing to kink and nothing sharp near her. They have kept the wing outline through a whole autumn of use.
They look good and the straps are easy to set. We were out in drizzle for fifteen minutes and one wing lost its stiffness and has not fully come back. The instructions do say spot clean only and I now understand why, so that is on me as much as anything.
The small is very light at twenty seven grams, and on our larger cat the chest strap was almost at its limit. The medium would have been the safer choice. Once fitted the wings look brilliant and she walked about in them for the whole evening.
Anything that wraps his chest and he stops walking, so wings that sit above the shoulders were worth a try. He wore them round the block and behaved exactly as normal. The felt is stiff enough that they stand out rather than flopping down his sides.
Both straps close with hook and loop, so there is a good bit of adjustment in each and I got them snug without squashing anything. The wings sit high above the shoulders and do not touch his ribs at all. He forgot he had them on within five minutes.
Where the wings were cut there is a little felt dust that came off on my hands and on a cream rug. It stopped after the first couple of wears. The shape is very good and the straps are the easiest fastening of anything we have tried on her.
Good questions
No, and we would rather say so. A reinforced strap that resists removal is sold as a feature and is really a reason to supervise: anything an animal cannot shed by itself is something you have to take off for them.
The supplier makes one under the same listing. We do not offer it, because it duplicates the plush spider costume in this range and the two would compete on the same shelf.
Small for most cats and kittens, medium for a large or long bodied cat. The strap sits behind the front legs, so match it to chest girth rather than to weight.
Spot clean only. Stiffened felt gets its shape from a bonding agent that water softens, and a wing that has been through a wash hangs limp and does not recover.
They stay where they are put. The felt is rigid enough to hold the outline, which is what makes the silhouette read in a photograph rather than collapsing against the animal's sides.
