The term identifies garments and accessories designed for hairless felines, specifically intended for wear during the Halloween season. An example includes a miniature bat wing harness secured to a Sphynx cat for festive events.
The practice offers several potential advantages. Garments can provide warmth to these breeds, which lack the insulating protection of fur. Costumes offer an opportunity for owners to creatively express their appreciation for their pets and engage in seasonal traditions. While the concept is relatively recent, the increasing popularity of these breeds has fueled a demand for specialized apparel.
