In the Fortnite subreddit, a new trend is causing quite a laugh. Players are using not only plush cats but also their real pets to cosplay the Meowscles skin.
Last month, the 2nd season of Fortnite went online and brought some new skins to the game. Among them is the battle pass skin Meowscles, which looks typically silly with a muscular body and the cute head of a cat.
For those who want to unlock the Meowscles skin quickly, here are tips on how to level up the battle pass faster.
Here’s what’s happening now: The Meowscles skin is very popular, so it didn’t take long for the first cosplay attempts to appear on the Fortnite subreddit. Players simply pull a hoodie over their heads and put a cat on. The results are delighting the internet.

While reddit user nosirkyle takes it a step further and uses his real cat:
In a comment, nosirkyle made sure that the cat was not forced: “It took some convincing to get him into the shirt, but he went along with it the whole time.” Even though he looks disturbed and is probably wondering what his owner is up to.
The community is excited
The community on reddit is celebrating these two fairly simple cosplays. Together, the two posts have received over 11,000 upvotes. Many comments appreciate the effort, especially with the real cat.
- reddit user Xenc says: “Your makeup is great!”
- reddit user Rise-Random-YT can’t see it enough: “I’ve seen it 20 times today and it still amuses me.”
Other players have also tried to recreate the cosplay but didn’t expect that the cat wouldn’t cooperate. Reddit user DreadDuckie writes: “So. I tried it, but my cat scratched me 3 times.” Not every cat seems to agree with this.
What do you think of the cosplay, and would your cat participate?
You might be less interested in the cats, but how you can influence the development of the 2nd season is interesting too.
