A cat pouch hoodie is a cute hoodie with a big pocket that allows you to carry your cat around. If your cat likes to go everywhere you do, but you need to keep your hands free, this is the perfect top for you and your cat.
It’s important to keep in mind: cat hoodies should be worn around the house. If you wear the hoodie outside with your cat in the pouch, consider putting a harness on them, attaching a leash, and holding onto that leash while you’re out.
You never know what might spook your cat and cause them to leap out of the pocket. If they do manage to escape when you’re out in public, the leash and harness will ensure they don’t get away from you.

BEST CAT POUCH HOODIE FOR SIMPLE DESIGN (NO EARS OR PRINT): ROODIE PET POUCH HOODIE
This pouch hoodie appears to be designed for and marketed towards dog owners, but it’s still a great option for cats.
The Roodie Pet Pouch Hoodie is the most expensive on this list, but if you’re looking for a high quality hoodie that will be durable, this is the one for you. Out of all the cat pouch hoodies on the list, this one has the highest percent of 5-star reviews.
It comes in 6 colors, is made with eco-friendly cotton, has stretchable cuffs for a better fit, strong zippers, and a large expandable pouch. The pouch also has a removable, machine-washable liner, just in case it needs a little extra cleaning. It is “female” cut and not ideal for men. The company suggests going up a size if you like a roomier fit.
The pouch is 14” wide, 9” tall and 4” deep, and can hold up to 15 lbs, so it’s ideal for a medium to small cat (although it’s always best to go by weight and measurements).

BEST CAT POUCH HOODIE ALTERNATIVE: ALFIE REVERSIBLE PET SLING CARRIER
Although this item isn’t a cat pouch hoodie, I put it on the list because it’s a good alternative if you have a bigger cat or want a more hands-off experience when toting your cat around.
Cat pouch hoodies really don’t have any support; they basically have a kangaroo pocket on the front that the cat can be placed in. But you’ll likely need to use your hand to support the bottom of the pocket when standing, and may find the back of hoodie pulls on your neck.
This sling can be worn across your body and has a wide adjustable shoulder strap.
It is marketed towards dog owners, but it can still work for a cat, especially if you know your cat will stay put.
Because there aren’t any safety features that ensure the cat stays in the sling, I wouldn’t venture outside with this without using a harness and leash, just in case your cat gets spooked and decides to jump out when you’re on a busy street.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Color: denim/brown, denim/grey, denim/pink, blue, grey, pink
- Material: cotton
- Fit: adjustable strap
MOST LOVED FEATURES
- Quality – this sling is well made from good quality fabric and is sturdy.
MOST DISLIKED FEATURES
- Weight of fabric – some reviewers worried about their pets getting too hot in this carrier.
- Metal rings – some customers found the placement of the rings made it uncomfortable on their shoulder.
