There's an anime series titled El-Hazard. In it, there is a cat which literally wraps itself around the main character to form a protective covering. That's what I call cat armor. Sorry I can't find an image or video right now. That may be armor for a cat, but it’s not cat armor.

My cat almost tortures itself to death trying to remove a collar with a bell. I can't imagine what would happen if I dressed it in this (yet a dark & deeply repressed part of me wants to try).
