{"id":71,"count":0,"description":"I. Common Types (Classified by Function\/Scenario)\r\nCat apparel is designed based on cats\u2019 living scenarios, body sizes, and specific needs. Common types include:\r\nWarmth-focused Apparel: Suitable for low-temperature environments (e.g., winter, air-conditioned rooms) or for short-haired cats and senior cats. Common styles are knitted sweaters, fleece hoodies, and warm vests. Materials are mostly soft wool or fleece to avoid irritating cats\u2019 skin.\r\nProtective Apparel: Focus on protecting cats\u2019 bodies or reducing external disturbances. Examples include:\r\nShedding Coats: Reduce the impact of cat hair loss on home environments. Typically made of smooth, easy-to-clean polyester.\r\nInsect-repellent Apparel: May have mild insect-repellent ingredients on the surface, ideal for wearing when taking cats outdoors for walks.\r\nPost-surgery Suits: Replace traditional Elizabethan collars to prevent cats from scratching their wounds. Mostly made of breathable stretch cotton.\r\nDecorative Apparel: Centered on aesthetics and festive vibes. Common items include holiday-themed clothing (e.g., Christmas outfits, Halloween capes) and cute-style accessories (e.g., small dresses with bows, hats with ears). Some may be paired with small bells or embroidered patterns, but caution is needed to prevent cats from swallowing small parts like bells.\r\nFunctional Outdoor Apparel: Adapted for outdoor scenarios, such as pet harnesses (strictly speaking, they have both \"apparel\" and \"leash tool\" attributes) and waterproof raincoats, which facilitate short outdoor trips with cats on rainy days.\r\nII. Design & Material Features\r\nThe design of cat apparel prioritizes cats\u2019 \"physiological characteristics\"\u2014cats love grooming, are agile in movement, and are sensitive to a sense of restraint. Thus, it has the following key features:\r\nMaterial Selection: Centered on \"softness, breathability, and non-irritation\". Common materials are pure cotton, bamboo fibre (British spelling for \"\u7af9\u7ea4\u7ef4\"), and lightweight knitted fabrics. Chemical fibres (British spelling for \"\u5316\u7ea4\") and stiff materials are avoided to prevent skin allergies in cats or the ingestion of harmful substances during grooming.\r\nPattern Design: Most adopt \"loose cutting\" (British term for \"\u5bbd\u677e\u526a\u88c1\"). Sufficient space is reserved especially around the chest and legs to avoid affecting cats\u2019 ability to walk, jump, or curl up. Some apparel uses \"Velcro\" instead of buttons or zips (British spelling for \"\u62c9\u94fe\") to reduce the risk of snagging on cats\u2019 bodies.\r\nSize Adaptation: Sizes are usually divided based on cats\u2019 \"weight, chest circumference, and body length\" (e.g., XS, S, M, L), rather than just age. Accurate measurements are required when purchasing to avoid discomfort caused by tightness or easy slipping off due to looseness.\r\nIII. Considerations\r\nNot all cats accept wearing apparel: Some cats are sensitive to the sense of restraint from clothing. After wearing it, they may show signs of anxiety, struggle, or refuse to move. It is necessary to respect the cat\u2019s will and not force it.\r\nRegular Inspection and Cleaning: When putting on the apparel, check for damages or loose threads (to prevent tangling around the cat\u2019s paws or being swallowed). Regular cleaning is also required to avoid bacterial growth (it is recommended to use pet-specific laundry detergent for cleaning to reduce residual irritation).\r\nAvoid Prolonged Wearing: Even if the cat is accustomed to wearing apparel, it is not recommended to keep it on for 24 hours, especially at night or when the cat is left alone. Allow the cat\u2019s body to stay in a natural state to reduce the risk of skin pressure or matted fur.","link":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/product-category\/cats\/ca\/","name":"Cat Apparel","slug":"ca","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":50,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/71","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/50"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dollupet.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=71"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
