Cats don't do well in clothes, most won't move and they can't groom themselves well. It is fun for a short while or for photos. I have small dogs, they don't care for coats either no matter what type of coat they have, most animals don't feel cold the way us humans do. Coats are usually for the human more than the dog.
I used to put a cat harness on one cat and the other would flip out and attack him just because of the harness, I can't imagine what she would have done with a sweater.
That makes sense, I never thought of the grooming part tbh. But you are right she won't move. Whenever I put a harness or the clothes on she crouches down like in the pictures and she usually also runs and hides a long time. Eventually she comes out of hiding, as evidenced by the picture of her in my room, but was still slinking. I also noticed the didn't appear to want to jump. She came to the edge of the bed twice like she wanted to jump up but retreated. I guess she thought she couldn't? I finally lifted her up and she did start purring actually. But she didn't look that comfortable, like she couldn't comfortably lay cause it fit weird, so I actually took it off right after that.
Yeah, that makes sense. And a lot of the clothes, not necessarily coats but like the shirts and stuff, I feel are definitely for the people or think the dog is a child, etc. Which is fine but some animals might not appreciate it.
Although I will say I have seen some dogs that loved being dressed up and would run over whenever the clothes came out. And I think some of the really short hair breeds, the ones with like no hair at all like Italian Greyhounds and some of those do get cold or I know some that won't go out in the cold, but all these dogs are probably rare, for most animals they don't get as cold i guess or don't care.
Wow she attacked him!?
Thankfully we only have one cat. Although for someone reason the dog will not leave her alone. He's always chased her a little bit and has gotten much better (he used to a lot) but for some reason since we brought her home he just will not stop harassing her. Like she'll be hiding and he goes and gets in her business, she's on the counter or near his food, he runs im, and he won't listen. This is really abnormal. Like I said, he's gotten a lot better so he normally just occasionally chases but now he's obnoxious. I don't know if it's because she looks so different or because she smells like the vet and other animals or something? But I'm hoping he stops soon but I'm thinking he won't and will need some retraining, which isn't a big deal but just kind of annoying. He could probably use some more exercise too. But she's the same cat and smells the same, I don't get it. But maybe she doesn't smell the same?
Anyway, I guess I'll return or sell them then
