Cat out of hell! Feline 'vampire' with unusual fangs dresses up in a cape for Halloween

A cat with overgrown fangs is all set for Halloween after being dressed up in a vampire costume to match its unusual set of teeth.

The seven-year-old cat called Monk was rescued by Nicole Rienzie's family in 2010.

Nicole, 40, a volunteer worker, from Long Island, New York, took Monk to the vet several times but has never been diagnosed with a condition for his vampire-style fangs - so the family have decided to embrace its uniqueness.

She said: 'Although Monk has seen a vet numerous times I have not been informed that his teeth are a 'condition'.

'He has had some dental issues and has had several teeth pulled but his fangs remain intact and healthy, to date.'

Monk was rescued by the family along with another cat, six-year-old Bean, and the pair have amassed around 63,000 followers on Instagram.

Nicole said: 'We rescued Monk in the fall of 2011 and about a year later Bean came along.

'They are now both the best of friends.'
