# Cat-Carrying Hoodies These Cat Hoodies Were Made to Comfortably Carry Pets in the Summer Months By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-06-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-hoodie References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/embrace-your-inner-crazy-cat-person-with-this-kitty-car-1782667827) & [unihabitat.jp](http://www.unihabitat.jp/products/upa35/) This cat hoodie made by Unihabitat was created to give loving feline owners the ability to cuddle their pets as they go about their day. The 'Summer Mewgaroo Hoodie' even makes owners a little more cat-like, as the garments sporting pointed ears on the hood. The cat hoodies are made by using a design that's similar to the pouch of a mother kangaroo, with a [large front pocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomade-58) comfortably snuggling pets. As [cat lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mew-cat-care-set) know no boundaries for time spent with their pets, the pieces have no sleeves, giving cats all the space that they need without causing the owner to sweat as they entertain them in the hotter months of the year. The cat hoodies also feature a set of pom-poms that dangle down, making the pieces function as toys as much as they do carriers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet-carrying Fashion:** There's an opportunity to create a line of clothing that doubles as a pet carrier, appealing to pet lovers who want to keep their pets close to them. - **Multipurpose Pet Accessories:** There's an opportunity to design versatile pet accessories such as toys that also serve as carrying cases or items of clothing that can be used as carriers for small pets. - **Humanization of Pets:** There's an opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of humans treating their pets like family members, with products that cater to pets as well as their owners. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can capitalize on pet lovers' interest in fashionable and functional pet accessories and clothing items that serve as carrying cases. - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can take advantage of the trend of humanizing pets through designing versatile and functional pet accessories that cater to pet owners' desire to keep their pets close. - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry can explore the creation of multipurpose pet toys that serve as both entertainment and functional pet carriers, such as the pom-pom toys on the cat hoodies mentioned in the article. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Cat Dad Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-dad-hoodies.md) - [Cozy Heart Pocket Onesies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yitty-3.md) - [Sustainable Portable Cat Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batsy-cat-shelter.md) - [Portable Pet Shelter Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-habitat.md) - [Conjoined Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suavitel-cuddle-crewneck.md) - [Game-Inspired Cat Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stray-1.md) - [Backpack-Inspired Storage Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomade-58.md) - [Small Pet Carrier Enclosures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenced-traveling-backpack.md) - [Blackout Napping Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau.md)
