It's one thing to dress your pet up for Halloween [2] in a funny costume, but it's an entirely separate thing to get your dog or cat to feel jazzed about it. Draping a sheet over your Golden Retriever and watching them clumsily step all over it in order to look like a ghost [3] typically doesn't last more than a few seconds — I know from experience — but sometimes owners come up with something so creative that it's worth finding a way to get your animal to keep it on. Like the owner of this Persian cat, who turned their sweet little feline into an actual Chia pet [4].

Walter Bishop [5], as he's known on Instagram, is no stranger to the perils of his owner's costuming. A quick stroll on his account shows him posing in all sorts of looks. But nothing has stolen our attention — and our heats — like seeing him dressed as the iconic Chia pet. Covered in leaves from head to paw, he sits patiently for his Halloween [6] photo but makes it clear he's not happy about this one.
