For the ones who shiver on the doorstep.
An indoor layer rather than outdoor kit. Short coated cats and small dogs notice a cool room long before their owners do, and a light jumper is often what lets them settle.

Why you'll love it
Whippets, greyhounds, sphynx cats and most seniors carry little insulation. A jumper is not dressing them up, it is the difference between settling and shivering by the radiator.
The ribbed neck sits without gripping, so it stays put when they move rather than riding back and bunching behind the shoulders.
Thin enough for a cold house rather than a walking coat, which is what most cats and small dogs actually need through winter.
Good fit if
Look elsewhere if
A dense double coat is a very effective insulator, and a dog wearing one is comfortable at temperatures that feel cold to us. Remove the undercoat, as in most short coated breeds and in cats like the Sphynx, and the animal is working with a thin layer that traps almost no air.
Age and condition change it further. Older animals lose muscle mass and thermoregulate less efficiently, which is why a cat that always slept in the middle of the room starts sleeping on the radiator. A pet recently clipped, or one recovering from illness, is in a similar position temporarily.
Cats are less predictable about this than dogs. Some accept a jumper immediately and clearly appreciate the warmth; plenty freeze, walk backwards or flatten themselves to the floor the first time. Neither reaction tells you much on its own, since the freezing response often passes within a few minutes.
Introduce it briefly and with food, and take it off before the cat objects rather than after. If the cat is still unhappy after several short sessions across a week, it is not going to come round, and a heated bed or a covered cave gives the same warmth without anything being worn.
Measure the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail and the chest behind the front legs. The jumper should allow full shoulder movement and stop clear of the back legs. Watch for rubbing under the front legs, which is where knit chafes on a short coated animal wearing one for hours.
Hand wash and dry flat. Knitted fabric loses its shape in a machine and stretches badly if hung to dry, and a jumper that has stretched will slip and gather under the front legs. The wooden buttons also fare better out of a machine drum.

The details
| Size | Back length | Chest girth |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 18 to 22 cm | 26 to 32 cm |
| S | 23 to 27 cm | 32 to 38 cm |
| M | 28 to 33 cm | 38 to 45 cm |
| L | 34 to 39 cm | 45 to 52 cm |
| XL | 40 to 46 cm | 52 to 60 cm |
Cut for cats and small dogs. Measure the back along the spine and the chest at its deepest point, and size up where the two disagree, since a jumper tight across the chest restricts the shoulders.
Loved by real pet parents
Our whippet sits against the radiator from October onwards and still shakes. The cable knit with the roll neck is enough that she settles on the sofa instead. It is thin enough to wear all evening indoors.
Lovely knit and he does not try to pull it off, which is a first. The wooden buttons down the front are small and doing them up on a wriggling cat takes patience. Once it is on it stays put.
Everything else we tried bunched up behind her shoulders within ten minutes. The ribbed neck on this sits without gripping and the jumper stays where it should even when she is charging about.
Most pet jumpers labelled small are cut for a small dog and swamp a cat. The XS here is genuinely cat sized, snug round the chest with the front legs in the right place.
This is a house jumper rather than a walking coat and that is exactly what I wanted. Our old terrier wears it from teatime onwards through the winter and does not get too warm by the fire.
The knit is soft and the wooden buttons are a nice touch. Our pug is barrel shaped and the size I ordered by length was too tight round the ribs, so we have gone up one and it is better but still snug. Measure the chest rather than the back.
No issues with the fit or the knit, and the roll neck is soft against her. The yellow is a deeper mustard shade than the listing photo led me to expect. She looks smart in it regardless.
It says hand wash and dry flat and I have stuck to that, and after a full winter both of ours still fit the same as they did. No stretching at the neck or the cuffs.
Warm, well cut, and he is happy to wear it. The raised cable knit does snag on a back claw now and then and there are a couple of pulled threads on ours. Nothing that has come undone, but worth knowing.
Good questions
Some will, some will not. Put it on for short spells at first and watch for flattened ears or freezing in place, which mean stop. A cat that keeps moving normally has accepted it.
Measure back length from collar to tail base. These run small, so if you are between sizes take the larger, and check they can still squat to toilet without catching the hem.
Some will and some will not, and there is no reliable way to tell in advance. Introduce it for a minute at a time with food. If a week of short sessions has not worked, use a heated bed instead.
Measure back length along the spine and chest girth behind the front legs, and take the larger of the two indicated sizes. It should not restrict the shoulders.
For a short dry trip, yes. Knit absorbs water readily and a wet jumper against the skin makes an animal colder, so use a waterproof coat for wet weather.
