The stage costumes (look up 'Cats musical' on Google Images) are basically decorated bodysuits plus facepaint and wigs. They have a lot of subtle touches to keep them intentionally registering as 'acrobatic costume' without tripping uncanny valley issues, like how almost all of them include obvious belts (for the 'tails') and a clear division between body and neck/face even if the facepaint is the same color as the bodysuit being worn.
