There’s a reason they don’t make clothes for cats. They hate it! (or MOST of them, anyway) Lol. If you’ve ever put a little shirt on a cat usually the just plop over and refuse to move, flailing their tail around, with a very annoyed look on their face.

as long as you are willing to risk scratches, go for it. Make sure it is not to snug.

Prince Charming has a bandana and Cinderella has a sequin collar with a glitter flower…both are made for small dogs. I got the outfits from Walmart are they look fabulous!!! But remember you cannot put sweaters on cats like you do dogs bc unlike dogs cats bathe themselves so they will be very irriated and it fashionable doesn’t look good like as cute as dogs either. So just buy the cute fancy collars and costumes BUT remember if you let them outside that they have their regular cat collars with id tags under the costumes just in case they get loose. Happy shopping!

Yes you can put dog clothes on a cat, but why would you? Cats are very different from dogs pschycologically. Dogs live to please and cats live to BE pleased. Enjoy the unique qualities of your special companion

Cats will not wear it… My dog even tries to get out of wearing them in the winter. He stands still and won’t move. Plus, a cat is used to being free in a sort of way and don’t like the constriction of the sweater/T-shirt…

I used to dress up my cats when I was little. That’s probably why they were psycho. You would think it would make them feel claustrophobic, that may be why they don’t move.

Sometimes you can find costumes and clothes for cats. It’s cute for special occasions, but for cats it’s really just torture for them to be stuck in them all the time. They should fit the same. With a cat you should NOT leave it unattended in the clothes because they could strangle themselves trying to get it off. If it’s Halloween or the cats birthday and you want to put something cute on it for a few pictures, that’s fine. Otherwise cat’s are not meant to wear clothes.

They make them, but not in sizes I’ve found convienent. Plus cats have the abilty to undress them selves, being more flexible than dogs. I got a little sweater for my 4.5 lb cat last winter, because she always seems cold, and she wore it for hours without signs of distress, then I left to go out to dinner, and came back, and she had already taken it off, and lost it so well, I still haven’t found it!

When I was a kid, I used to dress up my mom’s cat in doll clothes.

I don’t think they like it very much, so I wouln’t suggest it, but I really see no immediate harm in it as long as the “clothes” aren’t too tight or restricting. Like I said, though, they don’t like it, and I personally wouldn’t do it.
