Step 1: Draw and cut out two triangles
Draw two triangles on a piece of cardboard and cut them out. These will be your cat ears.
Find free cardboard boxes at local convenience or grocery stores.
Step 2: Cut and paste the felt
Cut out two pieces of felt of the same size and shape as the cardboard triangles and glue the felt onto the cardboard.
Step 3: Glue ears to a headband
Glue your two felt and cardboard ears to a black headband.
Allow the glue to dry completely before putting the headband on your head.
Step 4: Stuff your stocking
Stuff the unused black felt into your long black stocking to create the tail. Pin the tail to the back of your leggings.
Step 5: Put on your costume
Put on your black leggings with the tail, turtle neck, headband, and black shoes.
Find inexpensive turtle necks and black shoes at consignment shops.
Step 6: Draw your whiskers and nose
Draw whiskers around your mouth with black eyeliner. Draw and color a small triangle on your nose.
Step 7: Put on your paws
Pull a black sock over each hand to create your paws. Now you're ready to pounce!
Fact: The number of feral cats in the U.S. is estimated to be in the tens of millions.
