It isn't always as easy to find clothes for cats as it is for dogs, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Whether you're looking to dress your cat up, or you’re after clothing suited for bad weather or anxiety, there are some quality pieces out there that will keep your cat comfortable and cozy, all while looking adorable as ever.
Some outfits are necessary for a cat's comfort, while others are just cute. Sphinx cats, for instance, are mostly hairless and can often use sweaters to stay warm in chilly weather. Clothing can similarly protect cats with fine hair from sunburn if they are going to be outside for a long period of time, but it's important not to overheat them either. Consider your cat's fur, weather conditions and your cat's general response to wearing shirts, boots or hats before dressing them up. While it can be fun to dress them up, remember that their safety and comfort should come first.
