The details
Everything About This Piece
Purple & Black fills each pointed ear with vivid violet, trims it in black and tops it with a long black tuft. The color sits between playful and dark, and it stays clear in photos and across a hall.
- Violet with a black frame. The purple inner fur is outlined by black edging, and the long black tufts at the tips look sharp in close-ups.
- Complete moving ears. Ear covers and powered headband are included together, so nothing else has to be bought before they move.
- Swap-on covers. Covers and motor headband are separate, so the purple fur can come off for care.
- A shape that stays clear. The black tips outline the purple ear against light and dark backgrounds alike.
What You Get
In this set you get one pair of purple-and-black ear covers plus the powered headband they sit on. Switch it on and the motor in the band moves the ears. Email info@animisway.com for a quick walkthrough of the controls before your event.

Style the Purple and Black
Purple and black suits witches, vampires and dark-fantasy characters. Black, silver or lavender wigs work well, with black lace or velvet and plum lips or a purple liner. A posable cat tail in Black repeats the tips, and Gray gives a cooler partner. Buy the ears and a tail together and the tail is 15% off at checkout.
This pair is Purple & Black. The same design also comes in Mint & Black, Red & Black, White & Black, Blue & Black, Orange & Black and White & Orange, shown as swatches on the page.
Made For
Late-night events and dark-aesthetic shoots.
In the Box
- One pair of purple-and-black ear covers
- One powered headband that moves the ears
Purple and black is a high-contrast pair, so a little planning goes a long way. Here is how to set up, style and care for your purple moving cat ears.
Set Up in Four Steps
- Check the pieces. Make sure you have both parts: the purple-and-black covers and the powered headband.
- Seat the band. Settle your wig or hair first, then slide the headband on so the ears sit where your character's would.
- Clear the joints. Move hair, clips and ribbons away from the ear joints so the ears can move freely.
- Switch on and test. Switch it on and watch the motion in a mirror or a quick phone clip, so you know how it reads before the shoot.
Where to Wear Them
Portraits
Frame above the tips so the black tufts are not cropped. A plain background keeps the outline crisp.
Conventions
Do one full test wear with your costume at home, and carry the headband in a box between photo stops.
Pastel and Alt Outfits
Black clothing picks up the tips; a pale knit lets the purple lead.
Styling Tips
- Echo the black tips with eyeliner, nails or black boots.
- Add a posable cat tail in Black to echo the tips.
- Keep the neckline simple in close portraits so the ears stay the focus.
Care and Storage
Hold the headband by its base rather than the fur. Keep it dry and away from heat, and keep hair and loose fabric clear of the moving joints. Brush the covers gently with a soft brush and store everything in a box so the tufted tips keep their shape. For more packing ideas, see Cosplay Storage for Moving Ears and Tails.

Here is what comes in the box and how to plan the fit around your hair, wig and glasses.
| Type | Moving cat ears with swap-on covers |
|---|---|

| Ear style | Purple inner fur, black edging, tufted black tips |
| Headband | Slim black band with the motor at the top center |
Fit with Wigs, Glasses and Hats
- Wigs. Settle the wig first, then the band. Keep wig fibers clear of the ear joints.
- Glasses. Check that the arms pass comfortably under the band.
- Long hair. Tie back or smooth loose strands near the joints so nothing catches.
- Hoods and hats. The ears need open space to move, so wear them without a hood or try yours first.

Questions, Answered
Planning a specific look or wig? Tell us about it and we'll help you check the fit before you order.
Ask Us a QuestionWhat Comes with the Purple & Black Moving Cat Ears?
Everything you need for moving ears: one pair of purple-and-black ear covers and the powered headband that moves them. It is the complete set, ready to wear.
Is This Just a Pair of Covers?
No. The motor headband is included. If you only want covers for a headband you already own, see our lavender replacement ear covers and email us first so we can help you check the match.
How Do the Purple Ears Move?
The motor is built into the included headband. Switch it on and the motor moves the ears, with no app to download. Want a quick walkthrough of the controls before your event? Email info@animisway.com and we will talk you through it.
Can I Put Other Covers on This Headband?
The covers are swap-on, but the right fit depends on the exact cover. Before you buy covers anywhere else, email info@animisway.com with a link or photo and we will help you check.
Will the Purple Ears Work with a Wig or Glasses?
They can, with a quick test at home. Settle your wig first, then the headband, and keep hair clear of the ear joints so the ears can move freely. Glasses arms should pass under the band; check yours with the ears on.
Which Tail Goes with Purple Cat Ears?
A posable cat tail in Black echoes the black tips. It is sold separately. Buy the ears and a tail together and the tail is 15% off at checkout.
Can You Hear the Motor?
Like any motorized ears, they make a motor sound while they move. If you are recording close to a microphone, do a quick test recording first.
