CHARACTER || Connor MacLeod

SERIES || Highlander

TIME || 5 hours

COST || $3

WORN || Halloween 2003

WHY || We named our cats Duncan and Connor, both because we liked the names and after the Highlander characters. I thought it would be funny to dress them as their namesakes for Halloween, plus I like saying "cats in kilts!"

HOW || Bought some blue plaid fabric from the remnant bin, a little bit of ribbon for a waistband and sewed together a kilt. The sword was made out of cardboard painted with acrylics and I used the cat harness as it's sheath. Connor hated wearing it and almost refused to walk while it was on him. Basically he wore it for his photo opportunity.
