Just because the question has come up, the area was power washed that morning and I made sure ahead of time that the customer had no issues with the suit being on the ground or around my cats (and as you can see they themselves spent plenty of time on the ground outside when they wore it)

The customer flew in from the East Coast to attend Sac-Anime with me and to take home their costume.

The tail was a free upgrade from the typical stuffed one they paid for, I felt it would be too lifeless, so I went with the a braided wire core so it would swing and bounce.

The LED kit and front claws are from Flurrycat. Note that the LED kit was just the LEDs, I made the eyes...and man, none of these photos or videos capture just how stunning the eyes are in person, the way the light looks behind the veins of the eyes is mesmerizing.

I clicked on this picture because I thought it was a photo of a real cat and a real tiger, which would have been awesome. I do not like being tricked into seeing a furry picture, but by default I have no choice but to compliment your craftsmanship.

I wasn't suggesting his "tricking" me was some kind of nefarious conspiracy. But that from just the thumbnail it looked real.

This is actually amazing! Seriously, how is that a costume? I thought it was a real tiger, then I thought it was a cuddly toy, but wow, a costume! :D

lol I'm sorry it must be awesome indeed because from far away I could've swear it was a real tiger ....Bu the thing is: the real cat is so cute just looking at it that it makes the whole picture seem more about him than the suit XD

Or the suit is actually on the cat? O= PAM PAM PAAAAM *tension music background*
