The cool fabric is so soothing for a hot cat – and this method has the added bonus of making them look like a tiny horse about to enter a joust with a knight on their back! Don’t forget to remove once the tea towel has heated up again, otherwise you are just adding extra insulation to your cat on top of their coat.
