Halloween is once again right around the corner. If you don't plan to go full out for your costume this year, but you do want to do a little more than the bare minimum, consider paying homage to your favorite feline. A cat costume is simple enough for you to wear in so many different ways to multiple functions, but cute enough for you to feel confident while bouncing around Halloween parties. When it comes to thinking up Instagram captions for cat costumes, try to consider what sort of kitty you're trying to portray before you post.

Are you feeling badass like Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight, or are you trying to go for whimsical vibes like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland? Do you want to channel Marie from The Aristocats, or are you looking to be a creepily realistic cat like Taylor Swift in Cats? Whether you just want to throw on some cat ears or go all out with a whole catsuit, there's a purr-fect cat costume caption that will suit any look you decide on.

A cat costume has so many details that you can make your own. You can play around with the whiskers, tail, ears, and don't even get me started on the cool eye makeup you can do. I mean, cat eyes are called that for a reason, right? Not everyone can dedicate a huge amount of time to putting something together. Luckily, your cat costume can usually be made with items you already have in your closet and makeup bag. Use some eyeliner to add some whiskers and wear your hair in little space buns, and you’re good to go. If you’ve got the costume part figured out early, meow is the time to play around with these 45 Instagram captions for cat costumes so you’re ready to post right away.
