Deck Out Your Cat With $500 Battle Armor

You’d better act fast if you want to own this one-of-a-kind set of leather kitty armor.

Cats are alright I guess, but you know what would make them really cool? If we could deck them out in armor, give them weapons, and force them to battle to the death for our amusement. Unfortunately, they lack the opposable thumbs needed to wield a morning star, but fortunately, Etsy user Schnabuble has taken the first step anyway, producing a custom set of leather kitty armor.

“100% wearable, flexible, and comfortable, the Cat Battle Armor is a for-reals armor harness for your kitty,” says the armor’s product description. The one-of-a-kind handmade set is yours for a mere $500, making it possibly the most expensive piece of cat-clothing ever made (although I’m sure someone will prove me wrong in the comments). Marvel at it below:

“Completely hand-made from durable veg-tan leather, this is no mere costume piece. Your cat will become an unstoppable force for slaughter in this fully articulated suit, shielding him/her from foes while allowing unimpeded movement across the battlefield or living room floor.”

The armor is available as shown, or with optional d-ring attachment at the torso for use with a leash. Sadly, there is no harness attachment that allows your pet gerbil to ride your new armored-cat into battle.
