Cat Mom Turns Her Feline Friend into Pokémon Costumes

Leo, a house cat, is regularly transformed into Pokémon characters by his owner, Ruby. She designs and hand-makes each costume, tailoring pieces to Leo’s size and shape. For example, a Charizard outfit was built from cardboard, paper, paint, scissors, tape, staples and twine. Ruby measured Leo’s back and head to fit the wings and headpiece, and she created a YouTube tutorial so other pet parents can adjust the measurements for their own cats.
The Charizard costume includes wings, a tail made from rolled material with a flame, and a headpiece that completes the look. After assembling the pieces, Ruby shows Leo fully dressed and “ready to go,” ready for a playful battle. The pair share their creations on Instagram under the handle Pokémon Baddies.
