  3. As a cat lady who feels the cold horribly, this post is highly relevant to my interests.

  4. My partner and I have matching cat sweaters which we wear to ugly sweater parties. On the way to one such party, we stopped over at my mother-in-law’s house, and I think she put it perfectly when she asked “could you guys be any more gay?”. Answer: no.

  5. Okay. AS This is getting creepy. It’s like you’re living inside my brain now. Hahaha Seriously. This is the most purrfect post.

  9. I can’t be the only more interested in the women wearing the sweaters than the sweater itself, can I? Like do they like do they get to keep the sweater or would they agree with the sentiment I think they look fabulous in their outfits.

  10. i’ve always been a % dog person, but between this and the weather whiskers app i’m starting to change my mind. AS, could you please stop making me question all the decisions i’ve taken so far?

    jk, don’t ever stop. but now i want a cat, a sweater with a cat and to dress my future cat with a sweater with a cat.

  11. OMG the captions.

    (That’s all I can bring to this discussion. I am not cool enough to actually pull off a cat jumper, but support the wearing of cat jumpers by other humans.)

  12. I WANT ALL OF THESE but especially #6 and 19 (girlfriends, if you’re reading this, take note :D )

  13. My cat slept on my sweater last night, so this is literally a cat sweater: future generations could harvest the fur for Science (great cats are worth cloning).

  14. I think that “Ask Me About My Cat” sweater might be my christmas present to myself. You know, for when I feel like being alone, and I am incapable of telling people this, so I get caught in conversation. This sweatshirt seems perfect for avoiding that!

  15. I have a sweater knitted by my great aunt that has cat faces on the front, and cat butts on the back. Cat sweaters are the best.

  17. Number 8 represents everything I want right now. Thank you, Autostraddle, for giving me all the tools necessary for becoming a cat lady.

  18. Also, it took me forever to realise that #10 was the silhouette of a cat’s head. I thought it was like the outline of a state or a country or something and was wondering what that had to do with conversations about cats. Unless it was the outline of that Japanese cat island. Anyway.

  19. Pretty much all of these are adorable.
    My Dad said recently that he could see me as a crazy cat lady.
    He may not be wrong. I am spiritually becoming that way! =^_^=

  23. I need 5, 6, 14, and the christmas cat sweaters! These rival my owl sweater, which recently got complimented at a veterinary conference.

    collect all of the animal sweaters!!!

  24. “Ask me about my cat” sounds like either the perfect convo starter, or a fantastic way to get steroid abusers sitting in their modified Civics to honk you on the street and ask you about your pussy.

  26. This post is pawsibly my furvorite gift guide. Thank you fur cat-aloguing these purrfect sweaters-You guys are pawesome! I’m really feline #23. I might just have to write a litter to Santa Claws befur I furget.

    • this comment is really next-level and a lot of effort was put into it; i want us all to appreciate it
