For brave cat parents, Halloween is a time when you totally want to dress your cat up in a costume. And some cats let you. While others? Not so much. If you're of the variety that insists on dressing up your cat (and for that, we salute you!), get your bandages and antiseptic ready to treat all the scratches because you won't be able to resist these adorable cat Halloween costumes. 

This adorable rocker thinks it's a nice day for a white cat wedding. How great is that hair?!

We have a few ideas for how to pull this off involving dog wigs and a jean jacket:

• A distressed jean jacket for a small dog will complete the rocker look.
