Getting a pawpet

So I had this neat idea a few months ago.
After seeing how cool the AC fursuiters are, I figured it would be awesome if I'd have a fursuit of my own.
Although reality quickly sank in as I discovered 3 basic problems with giving my fursona a fursuit representation - Size (Normal talking household cats aren't 6 feet tall. Excluding ones that may be owned by Siegfried & Roy), cost (No need to elaborate here, is there?) and, well, physical problems (I'd give myself 5-10 minutes tops before I pass out from heat and/or exhaustion and/or suffocation).
So I thought about getting a small size fursuit, one that is the size of a cat, doesn't cost much, and won't cause a severe case of the death - a pawpet.
I came up with 3 options:
1. Finding a place that would do a custom pawpet (based on my avatar to the left) at a reasonable price (I think $150 for cost, labour and shipping is pretty much the most I could afford at the moment).
I don't really think such a place exist.
2. Get a similar cat and figure out a way (i.e a dude. Most likely a professional of sorts) to attach "duct taped" horns and deviltail to the little guy.
I checked Folkmanis and that tiny little toy store that operates in London and couldn't find something cool enough.
3. Just get a normal dummy cat (which the store above has, and for quite the cheap price) and be happy with it for a while.

So, any suggestions?
