👕 5. Ultimate coziness (+ ultimate ridiculousness?)
The social media algorithms graced me with this last one, and I just can’t get it out of my mind ever since. Have you ever wished that you could share the same hoodie with your cat, preferably without getting scratched to pieces? Enter the Catoodie, a cozy hoodie with a zippered pocket on the front big enough for your cat. There’s also a hole for your cat to poke their head through, giving the appearance that they’re wearing a piece of bread on their head?
The jury’s still out on if I actually need to add this to my wardrobe, but it honestly checks all the right boxes.
