Cat Socks… and Dogs Stealing Socks!
Obviously you’re a pet lover as you’re here reading my blog. But are you a fan of pet-related clothing too?
Not the kind your pet wears but human clothes featured pets.
I love clothes with animals. Until now, however, I haven’t been able to feature my own pets on my clothing. So I was excited to read about socks that could feature my pets!
Here are some samples, available from Printsfield…
Which pet to choose! Like a parent trying to choose a favourite child, it was almost impossible to choose! Eventually I decided to feature one of my cats. Then I decided to feature 3 of my cats – on the one pair of socks!
Earth, Wind and Wildfire immortalised on a pair of socks!
Did my socks turn out to be a real, lifelike portrait of my cats? Well, you decide.

Sock review
Asked to be honest about my opinion on the socks, the positives are, of course, that I get to see my cats! (Cat fanatic that I am!) These cat socks also wash up well. The negatives are that they were a little long for me and felt a little like compression socks that I wear on a plane (although it wouldn’t be a bad thing, looking at my cats as I travel!)
But wait, there’s more…
Now I’d really like to try some of the other products available. A very respectable laptop case. And a little weird pair of undies!
Check out custom cat socks for cat people and custom dog socks for dog people. They can be shipped all around the world. Now which pet would I put on those!
Notes:
Dr Jo Righetti was supplied with the opportunity to purchase a complimentary pair of cat socks in exchange for a review.
Now what about dogs with socks?
Dogs like socks! Some dogs like to chew socks. Some dogs like to steal socks and even guard them! I hope my dog does not steal my new cat socks!
I had a question recently on my video and podcast series: Pet Problems Solved.
Here’s why a dog may steal socks and what to do about it…
