9 Best Cat Sweaters

Your copy cat wants in on sweater weather. Here are some dog sweaters fit for felines.

September 6, 2024

The misconception that dogs are the only pets who enjoy time outdoors is practically canon at this point, but what most pet parents don’t know is that some cooped-up cats need the mental stimulation and enrichment of outdoor adventures as much as dogs do. You may not see cats strolling city streets on leash, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t in need of a break from the monotony of day to day life, and donning a cozy knit sweater during a quick outdoor sunning session will have your cat feeling stylish and content in no time. Bonus points if that sweater has an adorable pattern, turtleneck, or comfy fleece material. Below, the dog sweaters that our cats are rocking as the weather gets chilly.

Btw, our editors (and their pets) picked out these products. They’re always in stock at the time we publish, but there’s a chance they’ll sell out. If you do buy through our links, we may earn a commission. (We’ve got a lot of toys to buy over here, you know?)

Lucy & Co. The Take a Hike Sweater

$45

Let’s face it, spending time with your cat is like a chess match — you never really know how it’s going to go. They could end up curled up on your chest or bear “hugging” your leg to initiate “play” time, which is actually just them biting your ankles until you distract them with a wand toy. Might as well get them a checkered sweater to match the vibe.
