The Headless Horseman Costume That Turns Your Cat Into His Horse
The Headless Horseman Costume That Turns Your Cat Into His Horse
Free shipping to the US and Australia, no minimum.
Every October it's the same costume. A pumpkin hat he shakes off in four seconds, or a cape that slides round to his chin before you've found your phone.
This one turns him into a horse. A little headless rider in a dark coat sits upright in a saddle on his back. He trots across the hallway and, side-on, it looks exactly like the Headless Horseman is riding your cat. Every step he takes, the rider bobs along with him. Film it once and you'll be sending it to everyone you know.
- About 170 g, so he isn't carrying anything heavy
- Adjustable strap under the chest: on in seconds, off just as fast
- Sits on his back, so his legs, belly and face stay free
- Best side-on and in motion: made for video
- 30-day returns, no questions asked
Everything it can and can't do is written out just below.
Every Halloween costume ends up under the sofa in four seconds.
This is the costume people replay — and below, exactly what it can and can't do.
Three steps, then the video.
Leave it on the floor near his favourite spot for a day. Cats trust things that already smell like home.
Sit the saddle on his back with the rider facing forward, fasten the strap under his chest and check you can slide two fingers underneath.
Call him across the room and hit record. A few minutes is plenty for photos or the moment the doorbell rings. Treats help. Unstrap it and he's a cat again.
Why it looks like he's being ridden.
A little headless horseman in a dark coat sits upright in the saddle on his back. Side-on, it looks like your cat is the horse.
Every step he takes, the rider bobs along with it. That's the bit people replay.
About 170 g. Light enough that he isn't carrying anything heavy once it's strapped on.
It isn't a full suit. His legs, belly and face stay free, so he can walk, sit and lie down in it.
What changes this Halloween.

- A cat with a headless rider on his back
- The video everyone asks you to send them
- Guests do a double take, then ask where you got it
- On and off in seconds, back in the drawer
Everything, in numbers.
What it can't do.
Some cats will not wear a costume, full stop. Because it sits on the back and leaves the legs free, plenty of cats tolerate it long enough for a photo, but some freeze or flop over. If yours hates it, take it off; don't force it.
It's for photos and short parties, not all-night wear. A few minutes at a time, with you in the room.
Keep it away from candles and jack-o'-lanterns. It's fabric and padding.
The illusion works best side-on and in motion. From straight above, it looks like what it is: a little rider on a saddle.
It arrives folded. Give the rider a quick shape with your hands when you unpack it.
Shipping takes 7–14 days, tracked. The earlier you order, the earlier it's on his back.
