I know this is an old comment, but I think when said random neighborhood cat doesn't know you/ you don't know it very well, it can be super startling! Cats are always pretty on-edge. Also, I generally don't recommend putting a sweater on a cat you don't know because it might be someone else's and when kitty returns home with a sock on her, your neighbors are gonna have questions! Lol
Lizãrd Agreed. Random neighborhood cats probably won't like cat sock sweaters. They tend to have their own style of cat scratch skin with tufts of fir chewed out.
My cats are on the bigger side. I use pants legs from leggings that no longer fit, or have a rip, etc. My cats are 12 lbs and 14 lbs and a pair of my M sized leggings make 2 cat shirts.
this is the best idea ever! my cat didn't like it at first, and kept rolling around and trying to get it off, but she got used to it, and it kept her warm! it's also super cute!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a cat who must wear a sweater every day, to help calm her anxiety. The clothing available in stores is badly made, expensive, and covered in sayings about dogs. I have a few socks that I think are attractive enough to be her newest wardrobe additions.
allysther you are very welcome. I'm so glad this vid helped you. Cats can need sweaters for all sorts of reasons. We had a persian kitty named Coco ( we miss you, Coco!) who needed to have her hair shaved once every 2 months or so (her hair would get tangled, or she occasionally developed a skin disease, or it was just too hot in the daytime) and she needed a sweater at night or if the weather turned cool and rainy. She really loved to wear a sweater!
Thank you for this tutorial. I am getting a white kitten. We have to wait a few weeks tho because it was just born and I haven't even seen it yet. I think it will look adorable in a sweater. Also could you Mabry do diy cat toys
Me: Here kitty kitty! I know you're cold. Mommy made you a cat sock sweater. Cat: Huh? Hiss! Meow!!! Oh it's nice! im warm now. I feel so handsome. Purr. Thanks Mom.
+molkkang Aww, maybe you can try getting her used to it little by little by having her wear it 5 minutes at a time, then progressively longer? Like once a day over a few days? I have done this with some cats who were frightened of clothes at first. Some never adjusted to wearing clothes, but others did. :)
Thanks! My cat keeps digging her neck and I needed a way to put triple antibiotic on her without her licking it off. She isn't too happy but if it works to heal her up it will be worth it!
For bigger cats you can cut the arm off an old sweater / sweatshirt, or the lower leg part of a legging!. I always do this for my cats when I apply topical flea treatment to the neck, so they don't lick it off each other.
Thank you so much. I just got my female cat fixed and this worked like a charm. She had the "cone of shame" and she hated it. She wouldn't eat or drink. After I used your sock method she started needing and eating and drinking right away!!! And best yet, she can't get to her stiches. You are a life safer!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
❤️ so happy to read this, Lydia! So nice to have your feedback. I've used this many times after my cats have had a procedure or a wound they wouldn't stop licking. Sometimes I apply a little ointment to an oozy wound (i usually use extra virgin coconut oil) and this keeps the wound from sticking to the sock and making matters worse.
Thank you! My online friend bought me some socks for winter and I we wanted to turn a pair into matching sweaters for my cats, I didn't want to ruin them or mess up so this was really helpful!
I just did this with a leg warmer for my kitty. She is always sitting by the woodstove or under blankets so I though she would like some extra warmth to take with her. She liked it at first and then started trying to remove it. I think after a few days of acclimatizing she will really love it. I'll get some large socks too to see if that works better for her. Also she didn't mind me putting it on I just held the way I normally do and slipped it over her head.
Thank you for the feedback, Leah! Aren't you lucky that she didn't mind getting dressed :) I am making a whole bunch now for the colder weather we are having in Manila. As usual, some of our cats will love it, some will tolerate it, and some will immediately remove it. We always have to try anyway!
Thank you so so much for this video! My kitten got spayed yesterday and keeps breaking out of her cone to go after the stitches. I just made her a fullbody outfit from a knee-high sock to see if that will deter her!
Thanks so much for posting this. We were searching sweaters, etc for our cat now that we're in his first winter and is so much better than buying one (plus we have SO many mismatched socks to use :) ).
I love this! It was so easy to make and so perfect because my frigid little princess kitty is so small. My husband's old sock fit her perfectly! I even added a lace tutu to it. ^__^ she is the cutest little thing!
Thanks for the tutorial! Especially the part about putting it on was really helpful! My cat didn't like it very much but she seemed to accept wearing the sweater for going outside a little in the cold weather, which is why I made it :) She gets cold very fast because she hasn't got a winter coat, maybe she'll start growing one when she gets older, not sure how that works
Thank you so much for this video! My cat hates the cone and she opened up her wound after being spayed. I didn't want to put it back on her so I followed the instructions in the video. I had to ease her into it by leaving it around her neck until she stopped squirming and then I put her legs through. It worked!
Great! If you use it to cover a wound, make sure that it is covered with dressing under the sock so that the sock cloth doesn't stick to the wound at the end of the day.
This helped get the front legs. I also need the back leg locations as the hind leg quarter is much wider. She keep licking her spay wound and this was the only way to prevent her from doing so (collar wasn't working).
I know, right?? Perfect for kittens! Also, focusing a heat-generating lamp (LED lights will not help) on kitty will help keep her warm. Be sure the light doesn't shine in her eyes.
Licodi888 i hope it works! if the wound is still oozing, please be sure to put something between the wound and the sock so the sock doesn't stick to wound: if you insert a small patch of plastic from a ziplock bag, or cellophane or wax paper, that might do the trick if you can find a way to keep it in place (maybe use a safety pin to pin the paper to the sock). :)
I have made a number of these before I even saw the video. My slender cat has no problems, but my fattie cattie needs hers made out of leg warmers. They are both Persians that get lion clipped several times a year and the sock sweaters are a must iin the winter and in air conditiioning in the summer.
I would have to go to the ER if I tried this with my cat! But I have friends who make sock sweaters for rescue kittens they foster that have wounds or have had surgery.
Laughing my butt off. So cute. I might try this if my apartment gets cold again, because my cat is just a kitten and I want him to grow up to be patient, and not completely immobilized by clothes like one of his predecessors. Which was differently funny.
Hiya, FeloniousAngel! Yup, some cats will tolerate being dressed and others will have nothing to do with any clothes at all. And some just love them. We had a very loving kitty named Coco that would come up to me to ask for one when it got cold--and she was always so grateful afterward.
Hiya, Karla, what about using a leg of some old yoga pants? The trunk portion of (human) baby onesies? You can use any material that is relatively elastic. Anyway, i do hope you find something that works for your big baby.
My cat got a bite from a dog and now her hair dosent grow in that spot because maybe it's winter. I didn't think much about it cause it was just a inch spot on her back but I notice she pee a lot and maybe she was getting sick because she's got exposed spot on her back. Your idea is super great for my cats situation. Thank you, Thank you!!! (It's an out door cat.) Keep up the great work!!
Leah Piper if she is the adventurous type that likes to wander off, squeeze through narrow passages, and climb over barbed wire-I would be a little worried that the sock might catch on something and cause her to get stuck or drenched. Best to keep an eye on her outdoors. 🥰
@@HelpingHandHowto Oh, she's an indoor cat but I take her outside every-now-and-then. Also, it's been a year since I commented that so like, she's too big for a sock now haha
A general rule of thumb for if it's too tight is to check if you can fit two fingers sideways underneath the sock. If you can't, it is probably too tight. Maybe try a larger sock.
Larissa M Hi! Some cats really won't tolerate clothes. Sometimes i just keep putting the sweater back on no matter how many times a cat removes it (like when she/he is sick or has a wound and really needs it, otherwise i wouldn't insist)--and sometimes the cat gets tired/gets used to it and eventually just keeps it on for longer and longer periods. :) Please also read my answer to Fgsfds 1995 below.
Thanks for this video , a stray kitten probably months old arrived at my house it never but it has to stay outside it does go inside sometimes though, but winter is coming up and it can get really cold sometimes here in Texas so I wanted to keep her warm because I'm still a kid and I love all animals but I'm more of a dog person ,so I don't know much about cats ,but since she is a kitty she doesn't have as much fur so I wanted to keep her warm just in case. I really appreciate it. Bye
I appreciate this video because I have financial concerns. My cats go outdoors every day, and one of them wont wear a collar, so I was hoping if I gave him a sweater, people would know he is not a stray, plus I live in Wisconsin, and last year it went to 20 below zero pretty often. Thanks.
Jennifer Morris You are welcome! I really hope that works for your cats, of course, and am so happy to have helped. But, and this is just me, i would worry that the fabric might get caught on something and they might get trapped somewhere. Or that they might get wet somehow, and then feel colder still than they would without clothes. Or that, being clothed, my cats might attract unwanted attention from cruel pranksters. But--i'm quite paranoid about these things and have an overactive imagination. Plus we live in the tropics and never have to worry about 20 degrees below zero, ever. So i'm sure that whatever you decided for your cats will be best for them
Jennifer Morris I agree with Helping Hand How-to about worrying about the sweater getting caught on something. Cat collars are made to break away easily for just this reason. One suggestion is to microchip your cat so that if it is found it will be scanned and you can be contacted. Most vets and shelters now have the scanners, and do what they can to return lost pets. In my area there are programs available that make the microchips affordable for most people. Best of luck to you and to your kitties!
This is so cute! I made one for my cat, and he looked like a sweetheart with it on. He didn't like it, though. He wiggled out of it almost immediately. :(
Fgsfds1995 Some cats can't bear them and struggle to remove them right away. Some are so disoriented that they can only walk backwards! I know that looser-fitting ones are better tolerated than the very snug. What can we do about it? We are only human(s) and we all know that we can't MAKE a cat do anything he/she doesn't want to do! :)
Thank you for the video. I had never thought of this, but I will try it. One comment is that the poor Kitty looks terrified when she feels you coming from behind her. I dress my cat regularly and I like to show her the clothes and let her sniff it before I put it on her. I've been told that my Kitty is the exception to most cats because she allows me to dress her, but I think that when I show her the clothes she relaxes more. It's scary for them when we come from behind especially if there will be some struggle because the sock is tight. Just a thought.
Thank you for your comment, Brizaida, you're so lucky to have such an accommodating cat! I will definitely try your method next time and observe what happens :) Though my experience with my cats is that even those who tolerate the sock sweater well and appreciate the warmth--really hate the part where their head must go through that hole and irritate their whiskers!
Helping Hand How-to I agree putting it through their heads is the worse part. My experience with Bella is to stretch the clothe's opening for the head as much as I can and put her head through it as fast as possible. With the sock is a bit more challenging since it is so tight. I want to make a sock sweater for Bella, but she's a little chubby. Thanks for the video.
Brizaida Ribalta It's my pleasure! Someone in comments helpfully suggested leg warmers or sweater arms for bigger cats and i think that is a great idea. I have also used stretchy pants legs, old leggings.
My kitty LOVED IT he ran around tripping and falling LOL PigCat LOVES IT he's a black 3month old bombay (born the day after irma) so he's still a babehh but yeah 10/10 took me 5 seconds to cut and put on :D
Elizabeth M it all depends on the preference of each cat. I know Blanca (in the video) loves her sweaters and prefers them very snug. If I make them too loose, she flops and falls and bites at them. Not all kittens/cats will tolerate a sweater, though-you need to watch and wait to see. You can gradually increase the length of time you keep the sweater on to help them adjust. Reassure them if they fret and fidget.
I would like to make a couple of them for my neighbor’s cats because they are never home to care for them to keep them warm this Fall. Do you advice it for an outdoor cat?
Ruth Ranieri I think it’s so kind of you to want to do this for your neighbors’ cats but-personally, I fear that outdoor cats might get the cloth snagged on something sharp, and then get stuck or choked. If they got wet, they might be unable to remove the sweater-and then they would be worse off than if they had nothing on.
So couple of questions here. #1, Should I get her nails clipped first? #2, and I cannot stress this enough. Should she be in a mouth guard protection thingy?? Thank you, have a good day.
My cat just got spayed and she won't accept to wear that plastic thingy around her neck (sorry, forgot what it's called :) ) Hopefully your method will save her from it and she'll be happier till her wound is healed! Thanks a lot :)

Helping Hand How-to 😢 this video reminded me of my cat that i wanted to make a sweater for, she died 2 days ago, i have a video of her before we buried her.
@@HelpingHandHowto Your cat should have a vet visit every year to ensure ongoing good health. Veterinarians will trim all the claws for a small fee and teach you how to do it. It may take two people, but yes, it should be done regularly.
This didn't go well for me. Not recommended on random neighborhood cats.
Lol

"Approach from behind" hahahahah

ugh
I was laughing so hard I was crying.
I'm gonna need a bigger sock

Hi, Emily, i will keep that great suggestion in mind for the future, thank you so much :)
You rkn the clothing in stores is 'badly made' - so your alternative is cutting holes in a used sock and calling it a turtle neck?!
🤪 Do it.
Me: Here kitty kitty! I know you're cold. Mommy made you a cat sock sweater.
Cat: Huh? Hiss! Meow!!! Oh it's nice! im warm now. I feel so handsome. Purr. Thanks Mom.
I really like this idea and I did it, but my cat when she wear it, she won't stand up... she keep calling us and rolled on the floor... lol

when she came up to the cat to put on the sweater onto the cat, the cat looked terrified!! lol :) i love cats!
My cat Blanca would never have accepted a sweater face-to-face! And she really needed it, she had a cold when we shot this video :)
+Helping Hand How-to lol mines would never either ! :) she would try to take it off :)
Blanca runs away if she sees me coming with a cat sweater! She knows!
lol
+Ariana Staley not just the cat but i too got terrified and laughed

My cat actually liked when I put the sweater on and even helped push her heads and legs through
That's truly amazing! Good for both of you :)

Hiya, Karla, what about using a leg of some old yoga pants? The trunk portion of (human) baby onesies? You can use any material that is relatively elastic. Anyway, i do hope you find something that works for your big baby.
A 30-lb cat is unhealthy. Joint problems, diabetes, heart issues . . . Please consult veterinarian and put him/her on a diet.
Baby clothes will do :)
Omg, he looks like a 1960s playboy. I couldn't stop laughing. Hilarious .!!!

Yes but a good alternative for an injured kitten to a hard e-collar
Exactly, Amberlynde, they struggle so much with the collar :)
End of the vid :thank you your cat is warm and protected know
My version: thank you for watching your cat hates you know.
I made it for my cat but for some reason, when she is wearing it, she don't want to walk lol, its not too tight, I don't get it

Your cat has to adjust to it. My cat slinks around too, he hates clothes and will often just lay down and glare
True, +Sami Davis! Cats are just so sensitive to touch, sometimes clothes are just too much too bear.

Thanks for this video , a stray kitten probably months old arrived at my house it never but it has to stay outside it does go inside sometimes though, but winter is coming up and it can get really cold sometimes here in Texas so I wanted to keep her warm because I'm still a kid and I love all animals but I'm more of a dog person ,so I don't know much about cats ,but since she is a kitty she doesn't have as much fur so I wanted to keep her warm just in case. I really appreciate it. Bye
ANIME LOVER 1213 Hello, Anime, that's so sweet of you to care for that homeless kitten!
Awesome! So simple. The sock was a bit tight so we used the bottom of a pair of leggings!! Worked perfectly.

But, and this is just me, i would worry that the fabric might get caught on something and they might get trapped somewhere. Or that they might get wet somehow, and then feel colder still than they would without clothes. Or that, being clothed, my cats might attract unwanted attention from cruel pranksters. But--i'm quite paranoid about these things and have an overactive imagination. Plus we live in the tropics and never have to worry about 20 degrees below zero, ever. So i'm sure that whatever you decided for your cats will be best for them
Jennifer Morris I agree with Helping Hand How-to about worrying about the sweater getting caught on something. Cat collars are made to break away easily for just this reason. One suggestion is to microchip your cat so that if it is found it will be scanned and you can be contacted. Most vets and shelters now have the scanners, and do what they can to return lost pets. In my area there are programs available that make the microchips affordable for most people. Best of luck to you and to your kitties!
KEEP UR CATS INDOORS
Jeez.. that cat doesn't seem to care for its sweater, it's way too tight.
Blanca actually loves wearing her sweaters, Bailey. It's getting them on that she hates :)
Thank you! This worked!
So happy to hear!
"WOW. QUICKLY SLIP IT OVER THE HEAD"!! Omfg im dying
I had no intention to be funny, but there you go :) I will never live that part down ;)
That attack fr. Behind made me laugh so hard hahahahah anyway thanks for the vid I now have idea for my cat's sweater
Hehe Happy to make you laugh, Yvette :D I have a lot of cats and do whatever it takes to make caring for them easier.
For bigger cats see if you can use a long sleeve hoodie. Works well for my medium sized cat who recently got spayed!
mostly-posting-comments Sounds like a great idea, thank you 😍😍😍
This is so cute! I made one for my cat, and he looked like a sweetheart with it on. He didn't like it, though. He wiggled out of it almost immediately. :(
Fgsfds1995 Some cats can't bear them and struggle to remove them right away. Some are so disoriented that they can only walk backwards! I know that looser-fitting ones are better tolerated than the very snug. What can we do about it? We are only human(s) and we all know that we can't MAKE a cat do anything he/she doesn't want to do! :)
HAHA that's for the new wardrobe for my kitten! 😜🖤☺️
Happy to hear that, Lillyth :)
Omg thank you so much that was adorable and cute! Lol love it so much!
You are very welcome--thank you for the love!
Thank you for the video. I had never thought of this, but I will try it. One comment is that the poor Kitty looks terrified when she feels you coming from behind her. I dress my cat regularly and I like to show her the clothes and let her sniff it before I put it on her. I've been told that my Kitty is the exception to most cats because she allows me to dress her, but I think that when I show her the clothes she relaxes more. It's scary for them when we come from behind especially if there will be some struggle because the sock is tight. Just a thought.
Thank you for your comment, Brizaida, you're so lucky to have such an accommodating cat! I will definitely try your method next time and observe what happens :) Though my experience with my cats is that even those who tolerate the sock sweater well and appreciate the warmth--really hate the part where their head must go through that hole and irritate their whiskers!
Helping Hand How-to I agree putting it through their heads is the worse part. My experience with Bella is to stretch the clothe's opening for the head as much as I can and put her head through it as fast as possible. With the sock is a bit more challenging since it is so tight. I want to make a sock sweater for Bella, but she's a little chubby. Thanks for the video.
Brizaida Ribalta You are very welcome and thanks for your thoughts!
Brizaida Ribalta It's my pleasure! Someone in comments helpfully suggested leg warmers or sweater arms for bigger cats and i think that is a great idea. I have also used stretchy pants legs, old leggings.
i can use the tip of sock for hat and the top part a necklace-collar thing
Yesssss!
Great idea!
Thank you, Angelina, so nice of you to say :)
I loved this so much 💖
Sierra Flores Aww thank you!
My kitty LOVED IT he ran around tripping and falling LOL PigCat LOVES IT he's a black 3month old bombay (born the day after irma) so he's still a babehh but yeah 10/10 took me 5 seconds to cut and put on :D
Good for kitty and you both! Yay!
Awwwwwww! So cute!
Thanks you this looks so cute on my cat
Thank you! So happy you like the result :)
lol "Approach from behind" XD
😬😁😬
it just sounds so funny to me.
Would this be too tight for them? I have two kittens neither need it but it would be cute(and funny!). Thanks!!!
Elizabeth M it all depends on the preference of each cat. I know Blanca (in the video) loves her sweaters and prefers them very snug. If I make them too loose, she flops and falls and bites at them. Not all kittens/cats will tolerate a sweater, though-you need to watch and wait to see.
You can gradually increase the length of time you keep the sweater on to help them adjust. Reassure them if they fret and fidget.
Really loved it. Can i do it for my 2 month old kitten
Neha Singh for a kitty that young you could, of course, but don’t let her out of your sight-in case it gets wet or soiled or caught in something.
Great way to keep my puppy Chihuahua warm!
Thank you this idea best
Thank you for your kind words, Devu Das
i’m laughing so hard to myself at 1am at these comments oh lord
thank you for this!! I might make one for my cat! ^^
You are very welcome, WolfysHut--i hope your cat likes it!
I would like to make a couple of them for my neighbor’s cats because they are never home to care for them to keep them warm this Fall. Do you advice it for an outdoor cat?
Ruth Ranieri I think it’s so kind of you to want to do this for your neighbors’ cats but-personally, I fear that outdoor cats might get the cloth snagged on something sharp, and then get stuck or choked. If they got wet, they might be unable to remove the sweater-and then they would be worse off than if they had nothing on.
I have my mom's sisters kitten at my house for a week so I'm gonna make this for her, a 5 month old kitten
So couple of questions here.
#1, Should I get her nails clipped first?
#2, and I cannot stress this enough. Should she be in a mouth guard protection thingy??
Thank you, have a good day.
Yes, you must clip her nails first! I’ve never used the anti-bite thing (I just googled it) you ask about, so I can’t answer about that.
My cat just got spayed and she won't accept to wear that plastic thingy around her neck (sorry, forgot what it's called :) ) Hopefully your method will save her from it and she'll be happier till her wound is healed! Thanks a lot :)
My pleasure, busra unuvar :) I really hope it helps.
It did! Thanks a lot :)
Hey, great to hear! Happy!
My friend used this for her foster kitten using a little baby sock
That's wonderful. So happy to know that.
what can i use to cut my cats claws.
i tell my dad we need to but he says no.
there are not many pet groomers as far as we know now.
so just asking
Hi Misty!

Helping Hand How-to 😢 this video reminded me of my cat that i wanted to make a sweater for, she died 2 days ago, i have a video of her before we buried her.
@@HelpingHandHowto Your cat should have a vet visit every year to ensure ongoing good health. Veterinarians will trim all the claws for a small fee and teach you how to do it. It may take two people, but yes, it should be done regularly.
I had to make this cause my cat kept scratching a wound on her neck :( she looks so funny and adorable now hahaha I hope it helps her heal at last
♥️I hope so, too!
my cat keeps digging at his neck, he’s gonna be pissed but he needs it for awhile
Sometimes, as parents, we just have to make the right choice for them :)
Realy game begins when you approach from.behind and tuck the sweater on cat's neck 😅😅😅😅
For all of my cats (except 3 very calm ones), getting it on in the first place was always tricky!
A knee high stocking would probably be very good for bigger cats
that is so cute
Thank you!
Short & Sweet
Your a crazy cat lady 😂
The J dragon I definitely am!
That was hilarious
Thank you! I find that yoga stretchable leggings are more comfortable alternative for my cat ☺️
cute cat!!
Thank you, Amanda, we absolutely agree!
Your cat is cute I have 2 Russians and a Persian the Russians r just crazy but the Persian is so calm. They all live in my house
Thank you so much, JackBEM! I will tell Blanca you said that. She is quite vain :) All the best to you and your 3 cats.
