Rain-Proof Cat Coat Size Guide

Warm Rain-Proof Cat Coat Size Guide

Measure around the base of your cat’s neck, where a collar usually sits. Ensure the tape is snug but allows for a finger or two between the tape and your cat’s skin.

Measure around the widest part of your cat’s chest, just behind the front legs, making sure the tape stays comfortably in place.

Measure from the base of your cat’s neck to the base of the tail, along the back. This will help determine how long the coat will be to ensure your cat stays dry and warm.

If your cat has a fuller build, rounder chest, or is heavier than average for its breed, opt for a larger size to ensure comfort and fit.

Weatherproof Protection: Constructed from high-quality, water-resistant materials to keep your cat dry in rain or wet weather conditions.
Thermal Insulation: With soft and lightweight materials inside, it keeps your pet warm even in colder temperatures without being too heavy or bulky.
Adjustable Straps: Features an adjustable Velcro or snap system around the chest and neck for a customizable fit that won't be restrictive, ensuring your cat can move comfortably.
Reflective Accents: Some coats include reflective strips or elements for visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring your cat’s safety during dusk or dawn outings.
Convenient and Easy to Use: Whether your cat is new to wearing coats or loves to head out into the elements, the easy slip-on design and quick-fastening closure make it simple to dress and undress them.

Accurate Measurements: Carefully measure your cat’s neck, chest, and back to ensure a correct fit. If you’re in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one, especially if your cat has a fuller chest or is heavily muscled.
Consider Your Cat’s Build: Cats with shorter or rounder bodies (e.g., British Shorthairs, Persians) may need extra room in the chest, while sleek and slender breeds (e.g., Sphynx or Abyssinians) will benefit from a coat that closely fits their frame.
Preferred Fit and Comfort: Keep in mind whether your cat prefers a snug or looser fit for their coat. If your cat is highly active and playful, choose a jacket with stretchable material that moves with them.
Cat’s Age and Health: Older cats or those with joint issues may appreciate the warmth and light padding of the coat. Ensure the fit doesn’t impede their movement or cause discomfort.

Rain Protection: Opt for a coat that’s breathable as well as water-resistant to avoid overheating, particularly if you live in humid or rainy climates.
Ease of Use: For cats that aren’t used to wearing clothes, look for easy-to-adjust coats that they can get used to gradually.
Visibility: If you plan to take your cat for evening walks, make sure the coat features bright colors or reflective details for added safety in low-light conditions.
Layering for Cold Weather: During winter months, pairing this coat with a warm underlayer or sweater can help your cat stay comfortable while enjoying the outdoors.
