Headless Horseman Pet Costume with Light-Up Pumpkin

My young cat needed a day to get comfortable with something on her back. Put the saddle on for thirty seconds the first evening, a minute the next. By day three she was fine and we got good photos. Quality feels solid and the rider figure is detailed.

Pumpkin did not light up when I first tried it, which panicked me. Turns out the battery tab was still in. Pulled it out and it worked great. My cat wore the costume for a short session without any protest. Would be five stars if the battery setup had been clearer.

I put the chest strap on wrong the first time and had to redo it. Once I looked at the instructions again it clicked. My cat walked fine and the rider sat upright. Wish the buckles were a little easier to read left from right. Photos turned out really well though.

The saddle kept sliding slightly to one side the first few times I put it on my dog. Once I figured out the right strap tension it sat flat and stayed there. The pumpkin lights up nicely. Knocking one star because the learning curve was a bit longer than I expected, but overall really happy with it.

Took my 9-pound cat to a small Halloween gathering and the costume was the conversation piece all evening. The illusion is very convincing from about three feet away. Straps held throughout an hour of indoor socializing. She was calm the whole time, which surprised me.

Ordered this as a Halloween gift for my sister's cat but kept it when our own cat tried it on first. The straps adjusted quickly and the saddle sat centered without any help. Rider did not fall over once during a five-minute photo session.

Honestly the glow on that little pumpkin is what made the photos worth keeping. In a dark room with the pumpkin on you can see the illusion really clearly. Put it on my senior cat for about five minutes. She was patient and the photos came out great.

My tabby is dramatic and I expected her to flop over the second I put it on. Instead she walked across the kitchen without stopping. The illusion from the side is genuinely funny. Pumpkin glowed well in the dark hallway for the photos we took.

Was worried the belly strap might get lost in my Persian's fur but it tightened snugly without any tangling. The chest strap sits cleanly in front of her front legs. Whole thing took maybe fifteen seconds to put on. She looked incredible.

Shared this between my two cats for separate photo sessions. One is larger and one is on the smaller end. Adjusted the straps between them in about a minute each time. Both walked normally in it, which is honestly a miracle in this house.

Got this for my chihuahua mix and it fits well with the straps let out a bit. Everyone assumed it was made only for cats but it works great on small dogs too. The rider sits upright and stays there when he trots around. Very fun costume.

I order a new cat costume every October and every year it ends badly. Not this year. The saddle just sits on the back with the two straps and my Persian walked across the living room like it was nothing. The glowing pumpkin is a fun touch.

The stitching on the straps looks double-sewn and feels sturdy. Rider figure is rigid and well-detailed. My 10-pound shih tzu wore it for about forty minutes total across two sessions and nothing frayed or loosened. Worth the price for the quality.

My rescue is usually skittish about anything touching her back. Let her sniff the saddle for a few minutes, then put it on for thirty seconds, then a bit longer. By photo time she walked normally. The straps are soft and the buckles did not snag her fur.

The two-strap setup is really simple. Belly first, then chest. My cat is on the smaller side and the belly strap tightened down easily. Rider figure looks sharp in person, the detail on the coat and boots is good. Glowing pumpkin sealed the deal for nighttime photos.

Three failed costumes before this one. The difference is that nothing goes on their head and there are no leg holes to fight with. My rescue cat wore it for ten minutes without any stress. The padded saddle sat flat and did not shift when she moved.

Bought this for my senior cat who is too old and grumpy for full costumes. She wore it for photos and barely noticed it was on. The little pumpkin glows orange in the dark, which showed up beautifully in photos. Very pleased with the quality.

My dachshund fit into this perfectly with the belly strap tightened. The chest strap keeps it from sliding forward. Pumpkin lantern lit up great in the low light of the parking lot. Everyone kept asking where to get it.

My tabby is very head-sensitive and has never tolerated anything near her ears. With this one the saddle just sits on her back and that is it. She walked around normally, which has never happened with a pet costume in eight years. Exactly what I needed.

Brought my 14-pound corgi to a Halloween party and he was the star of the evening. The illusion reads perfectly from the side. Straps took me about fifteen seconds to buckle and tighten. Will buy again next year if I have to.

I was skeptical because cheaper rider costumes I have seen just flop over immediately. This one sat straight even when my dog ran in the yard. The pumpkin actually glows, which made it work in the dark for photos. Got easily thirty usable shots.

My black cat has refused every costume I have tried for four years. Saw this on a friend's feed and ordered it two weeks before Halloween. She wore it for a full neighborhood walk without lying down once. The straps were easy to adjust and the saddle sat flat the whole time.
