I know -- it's another cat. But it had to be done! It was what I wanted to try with the fog machine from the very beginning! So I wasn't going to let Halloween pass without at least attempting it!

By the way — I don't dress up my dogs or cats. I'm just not that person. But after seeing someone in England doing amazing shots with the vampire cloak, I really had to try it.

Cleo really had no interest in the cloak.

Until....

Treats from a squeeze tube! Then she had absolutely no problem whatsoever with the cloak. And once I gave her treats on that little table, anytime I'm trying to do a photograph with something on that table, there is at least one cat up there. I can tell, that every day, she's wondering when she can wear the cloak again. :P

Thanks for the comments!
