Try pipe cleaners for whiskers, a black leotard, and mittens. Maybe cut the leg off a small pair of black panty hose & put a long skinny balloon in it for your tail. Or use a knee-length black nylon sock -- fill with newspaper & use a coat-hanger to bend it into shape. Or just go as a manx. Maybe file down some Lee Press-On nails for claws? I used to work with a girl who had a real talent for costumes. That company had an annual costume contest. She sewed Star Trek costumes that got us 2nd place in our first competition (the winners spent more than they won!), & we won as the Addams Family the next year.
