Halloween Bandana
For the ones who will not wear a costume.
Most pets will not wear an outfit. A knotted scarf is what you buy once you have accepted that, and it is a better answer than persisting with something the animal has already told you it dislikes.

Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
The version most cats accept
A knotted scarf sits exactly where a collar sits and adds no weight worth noticing. Animals that flatten their ears at a jumper will often ignore this entirely, which makes it the honest recommendation for a pet who has already told you no.
Sized by the knot, not by a chart
You tie it where it fits, so one scarf covers a kitten and a spaniel. There is no size to get wrong and nothing to send back because the chest measurement was two centimetres out.
Seven prints, no repeats
Witches, purple lanterns, orange cats, purple ghosts, candy corn, skeletons and pumpkins in webs. Each is a different design rather than a recolour of the same one.
Good fit if
- Cats, who as a group tolerate scarves and refuse garments
- Any animal that has already objected to a costume once
- Households with several pets of different sizes
- Anyone who wants the photograph without the argument
Look elsewhere if
- You want something that reads as a full costume in pictures
- Your pet already pulls at its collar
- You need warmth rather than decoration
A knot is a sizing system
Every sized garment in this range asks you to measure an animal that does not want to be measured, then commit to a chart. A scarf skips the entire problem. You fold the triangle, pass it round and tie where it sits comfortably, and the same piece of fabric serves a kitten and a springer spaniel.
The supplier quotes 20 to 46cm as the workable range, which spans nearly every cat and most dogs under about fifteen kilos. Nothing is returned because a chest measurement was two centimetres out, and nothing needs exchanging when a puppy grows.
Why cats accept this and refuse jumpers
A cat objects to restriction more than to decoration. Anything that grips the ribcage interferes with the way a cat compresses itself to get through a gap, and the response is usually to reverse, drop and shake until it comes off. A scarf grips nothing. It hangs from the neck, where the cat is already carrying a collar, and it moves with the body instead of against it.
The practical result is that a scarf tends to be forgotten within a minute, where a garment stays in the animal's attention for as long as it is on. Forgotten is the outcome you want. It is the difference between a photograph of a cat and a photograph of a cat trying to get out of something.
Wearing it over a collar
Tie the scarf above the existing collar rather than replacing it. The collar keeps doing its job, which on a dog in a public place means carrying a tag with a name and address on it, and the scarf sits clear of the buckle so nothing presses into the throat from two directions at once.
One thing this is not, despite the supplier filing it that way, is a drool bib. It is a thin printed polyester triangle. It washes and dries quickly, which is genuinely useful after an evening of visitors and dropped sweets, but it will not absorb anything in the way a towelling bib would.
Choosing between the seven
The prints divide into two families. Witches, skeletons and pumpkins in webs are dark grounds and read as Halloween from across a room. Orange cats, purple lanterns, purple ghosts and candy corn are brighter and photograph better against a dark coat, where a black scarf tends to disappear into the fur.
If your animal is black or dark brindle, take one of the four brighter designs. If it is cream, white or golden, the dark grounds give you the contrast instead. That choice matters more to the photograph than which motif you prefer.

Good questions
Before you buy
Neither. It is a plain triangle that you tie yourself, which is what lets one size cover a 20cm and a 46cm neck. Tie it in a bow rather than a knot so it opens in one pull.
Yes, and that is the usual way. Tie it above the collar so the collar keeps carrying the ID tag and the scarf is not sitting on the buckle.
The supplier files it as a drool bib. It is thin printed polyester and we do not sell it as one; treat it as a scarf that happens to wash well.
Tie it a little further up the neck than feels natural, above the point where the neck widens into the shoulders. A scarf sitting too low rotates every time the animal shakes.
Each order is a single scarf in the print you pick. They are cheap enough that people buy two, and at this size they wash and dry between evenings.
