Cat jumpers: which cats really need one

Most cats need nothing: their fur is more than enough. A jumper is for specific cases — Sphynx and hairless breeds, cats fresh from a clip or surgery, very old cats that no longer regulate their temperature, and thin cats recovering from illness.

For them, heat loss is real and visible: they seek out radiators and sleep curled up tight. The garment then has to keep them warm without restricting them, and that's the whole point of our cat jumpers.

Neckline, length and shoulder freedom: what to check

This one is made of 100% acrylic, soft knit. Sleeveless roll-neck jumper, cable knit, rounded cut, 4 sizes available (S to XL) for toy to medium breeds – measure the back length from neck to base of tail, plus the chest girth. The shoulder must stay completely free: a cat with a restricted shoulder blade refuses to walk, flattens itself to the floor and won't budge. For outdoors or damp cold, a plain hoodie for dogs and cats – fleece-lined winter jumper will suit better.

Keep it for hairless, shaved, post-op or very old cats — others don't need one
Measure the back length from neck to tail – this model: 4 sizes available (S to XL) for toy to medium breeds
Check that the shoulder moves freely — that's what makes cats refuse any garment
Choose a wide neckline: a tight collar makes a cat panic
Wash it regularly: machine washable
Keep an eye on the skin under the cat jumper, especially after surgery

Getting a cat to accept clothing

A cat trying on clothes for the first time flattens itself or walks like a duck: that's normal for the first few minutes. Put the jumper on, distract your cat with a game or a treat, and take it off after two minutes. After three or four sessions, most forget it's there.

Never leave a dressed cat unsupervised: knit catches on everything, and a trapped cat panics. To protect a wound after surgery, a recovery cone or a surgical bodysuit is safer than a jumper. In damp weather, go for a cat coat.

One thing to watch after a clip: a shaved cat's skin catches the sun just like ours. A jumper protects as much from cold as from sunburn behind a patio window — exactly where cats spend their days.

FAQ

Is it machine washable?

At 30 °C, inside out, no tumble dryer: heat lifts the waterproof coatings. Hang it up to dry.

Which size should I choose?

This model comes in S, M, L and XL. Go by your pet's measurements — chest girth and back length — rather than weight: two animals of the same weight don't have the same build. If you're between two sizes, go for the larger one.

Does my dog really need a coat?

Short-haired dogs, small breeds and older dogs get cold quickly below 7 to 8 °C. A dog with a thick undercoat doesn't need one.

What is it made of?

100% acrylic, soft knit. This composition determines the care it needs: see the specifications for the right washing method.
