I’ve searched high and low for a pattern like this. I’m in Afghanistan and the the winters are bitter cold. Our cat (and official mascot) Deuce is an outdoor kitty so I’m eager to try this out to help keep him a bit warmer. I don’t think he’ll be too finicky but I’ll have to let you know how it works out. Thank you for the post!

Kinda late to the party..
I’m going to try knitting this for one of my cats! So cute.
For the naysayers– I had a cat that loved wearing clothes. We shaved him fairly regularly because he was very difficult to groom and the heat really effected him badly. It got even worse as he got older. One year we had an unexpected cold snap after we shaved him so I needed to find a way to warm him up. I found an adorable little small dog sweatshirt at the pet store and he sported that thing proudly for months. He loved wearing it, even after his fur grew back in. In my experience, cats just don’t like things on their heads.

My cat now wears a t-shirt to protect her feeding tube; she has inoperable cancer at the back of her mouth. I’d love to be able to find a soft sweater for her like this as the t-shirt does not do her justice and will need washing!

Hi Christine: I have been on your website looking for a large, stuffed elephant. I grew up with such an elephant knit by my grandmother whom I named “Ezra”. He wandered off somewhere and I miss him. Any chance you have a pattern. Thanks, Juju

Thanks so much for your post! I wanted to return a favour to a friend of mine and offered to knit something for her, and she asked for a sweater for her cat. I’m fairly new at knitting, and always looking for opportunities to pick up new skills, and found your website. Will definitely try this out. Do cats have a yarn preference?

Hi! I was so happy to find this great, well written, clear pattern - our leeetle keeeteee had just gotten spayed. Of course, the e collar was awful, but what made it even more pathetic is that our kitten only has one eye to begin wtih. So we couldn’t possibly stand the thought of her navigating our home almost completely blind. The solution? Your cats love sweaters pattern. I worked furiously for one day to get it done, and by evening time, Kiki had a brand new sweater to wear. She did try to get at her stitches and lick down in her gut, so I could have made it longer, but all in all, it worked like a charm. Oh, she licked it so much she actually felted the wool in places LOL. I’ve kept it as a souvenir. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you for the free pattern! It was quite amusing to get the measurements of my kitty, I have scratches all over my arms, lol. But I will start it tonight because it’s winter time in this side of the globe and poor kitty is freezing. I think the most challenging part is going to be to actually put the sweater on her, lol. I will most definitely send you pictures!
