Why the "Cold-Proof Cat Warm," an essential for your beloved cat's autumn/winter style, is so amazing

Hello, this is YOKO from Popo Neko!

In the cold season, we often see cats curled up in a ball. While their cute appearance is soothing, many owners worry about whether they might be feeling too cold.

Cats are much more sensitive to the cold than we might think... Especially for kittens, senior cats, and cats with underlying health conditions, the winter chill is a major enemy.

In this article, I would like to talk about the appeal of "Cat Warm", our cold-protection apparel designed to make your cat's autumn and winter life more comfortable.

What are the signs that a cat is cold?

Since it is said that cats' ancestors lived in the desert, they are relatively heat-tolerant but very sensitive to cold.

If you see these signs, it means your cat is feeling cold:

• Curling their body into a tight ball (the "loaf" or "cinnamon roll" position)
• Fluffing up their fur
• Staying in front of a heater or under a kotatsu (heated table) constantly
• Clinging closely to their owner

Even indoors, cold air tends to pool near the floor. It’s natural to worry if your cat is cold while you are out or at night.

The secret behind the high-performance "FEEL FINE®" material that protects your cat

For protection against the cold during seasonal changes or the heart of winter, our "Cat-Friendly Cat Warm" apparel is perfect, as it gently maintains body temperature.

Popo Neko's "Cat Warm" winter clothing is not just any thick piece of fabric. It is specialized cold-weather apparel for cats that utilizes Toyobo’s high-performance "FEEL FINE®" material.

1. Warmth through air layers

FEEL FINE® is a bulky fabric that contains plenty of air, so cats feel a gentle warmth just by wearing it. It is thin, lightweight, and fluffy to wear.

2. Excellent heat retention and soft texture

It has a surprisingly smooth and moist texture, making it perfect for a cat's delicate skin. It can be put on smoothly without any stiffness.

3. Stress-free stretchability

Cats dislike having their movement restricted, but this fabric has stretch, so there's no need to worry. Jumping onto high places, eating, and using the litter box are all effortless. We focused on ensuring it doesn't interfere with daily activities.

It's not just for warmth! Recommended for winter "dryness" and "skin care" as well

The concerns of winter aren't just about the cold. In fact, "dryness" is also a major enemy for cats.

For cats that dislike static electricity

In the season when the air dries out, static electricity can cause a snap the moment you pet your cat. Many cats dislike this. By wearing Cat Warm, friction is reduced, which helps mitigate unpleasant static shocks.

Protects skin by preventing dryness

When skin becomes dry, it is prone to dandruff, itching, and "over-grooming" caused by excessive licking. Sometimes, they may even scratch until they bleed.

Wearing Cat Warm plays a role in protecting the skin from dryness and providing gentle coverage.

A lineup you can choose to fit your lifestyle

In the Popo Neko Cat Warm series, we offer two types: "sleeveless" and "short-sleeved."

Both feature calculated cutting that doesn't interfere with eating or using the bathroom. Furthermore, the material is pill-resistant, making daily care simple. Of course, it is also washable.

Sleeveless type

Recommended for cats who dislike having their paws put through sleeves or those who are very active. The armholes are roomy, making it perfect for cats trying on clothes for the first time.

Short-sleeved type

Chosen by owners of senior cats who need extra warmth or cats that are particularly sensitive to the cold. It covers well down to the underarms, so it is also recommended for cats who tend to over-lick their armpit areas.

Get even more comfort with the right size

To ensure your cat wears their clothes safely and comfortably, the most important factor is "choosing the right size."

If it is too large, it may slip off and get caught on their feet, and if it is too small, it will be tight and cause stress. Many cats also dislike clothes that don't fit well.

We offer three sizes (S, M, and L), so please measure your cat's actual size before purchasing. The measurements for "neck circumference," "chest circumference (the thickest part)," and "back length (from the base of the neck to the base of the tail)" are important.
