CATS costume discussion board

Jellicle CATS Costume Ring

CatsMusical.com
Although the galleries aren't full yet, keep an eye on this site! It looks like it's going to be another wonderful picture source. Check out the other areas of the site- the merchandise has a very helpful list of sources for different around the world production recordings.

Japanese CATS Official page
It's in Japanese, but try clicking on different things. There are some neat pictures, including paintings of character designs, even a few video clips.

Finnish Cats
An unofficial site, but very informative. Check out the pictures- the Finnish cats were pretty wild!

Stella Stuttgart CATS Page
This one's in German, but a little clicking around will uncover some neat pictures. There's even a downloadable screen-pet and a screensaver.

Culturegate Stuttgart CATS Page
Extensive gallery of awesome pictures from the Stuttgart production of CATS. Let this page load- it's worth the wait! Plus there are a few small video clips that are pretty neat (although rather cruddy quality).

Marzi's Costume page
Popular informative page. Has instructions for converting Ruby's CATS hood to a suitable CATS wig.

A very informative site, nicely put together. Check out the CATS traders section.

Nicodemus' Fursuit Pages
Very cool site; no CATS stuff specifically, but he has some really good information about working with faux fur, maintaining an elaborate costume, plus instructions for making a Duct Tape Dummy!

The Costume Page
Long list of resources for all different kinds of costumes. Points of interest: Makeup, wig making (the labor-intensive-theatrical way), Sew-your-own Lycra bodysuit, and more.

  • Neat studs- jumbo square pyramids, big stars like Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
• Pros: 
  • Awesome products you can't find anywhere else online (believe me, I've checked!)
  • Perfect for UK people- that's where it is!
  • Prices comparable to Hot Topic and CoolThingz.com for quality, but the look is unique
  • There's a conversion chart for all common types of currancy
  • The online ordering is really nice and secure
• Cons:
  • Because it's in the UK, shipping will probably take longer (but even with the entire price added up, you can get a kick-@$$ collar for around $28- which is what you'd pay at Hot Topic for something like that)
  • The leather base part of the collar doesn't appear to be of the highest quality. The main feature is the spikes.
