7 Best Cat Blankets to Keep Your Cat Cozy

cat-in-blanket

People prefer cuddling up in a blanket with their cat beside them while drinking a cup of hot chocolate in winter. This is all well and good, but what about when the cat is alone in its bed? In theory, you could put your cat in your blanket, but what if it is an expensive fleece blanket? There’s a good chance it’ll be torn up because of their murder mittens.

We also don’t want cat pee soaked into our blanket. That is why it is a good idea to get your cat a durable and fluffy blanket so that it can stay warm in the winter. Even if your cat already has a lot of furs, a blanket is an excellent addition, and hairless cats, in particular, require something soft and warm when it snows outside.

That is why we decided to review some of the best blankets on the market in order for you to find what you need.

1. PetFusion Premium Pet Blanket

If you’re looking for something long-lasting and pill-resistant, you’ve come to the right place. It is a great choice if you don’t mind synthetic material because it is made of 100% polyester. It is double-lined and extremely soft in our experience, so you can be sure that your cat will stay cozy and warm.

It’s not only soft, but it also works well as a Cat carrier liner, keeping your cat comfortable while you take her with you while travelling or to the vet. Our cats adored it and fought over who would be the first to cuddle up with it. And it is surprisingly simple to clean, just throw it in the washing machine and it comes out looking brand new. There is also a quilted version of this blanket available in two colours.

2. Luciphia Flannel Pet Blanket

If you’re looking for a low-cost option that comes in a set of three, you’ve come to the right place. Not only that, but these plush blankets feature adorable elephants that will make any kitty very happy. You don’t have to worry about hand-washing it because it’s machine washable.

However, because these blankets are only available in light colours, you may need a lint roller if you have a black cat, as the fur tends to stick to the synthetic material much more than expected. It is pill-resistant and double-sided, so no matter which side your kitty cuddles up to, he will be warm and comfortable.

3. WONDER MIRACLE Fuzzy Cat Blanket

Because it is advertised to be camping-friendly, this is the blanket for people who enjoy camping with their cats. Even if you aren’t into camping, this is an impossibly soft blanket that will look great in any home due to the variety of colours available.

Because it is made of fleece, your kitty will be comfortable whether she is outside or indoors cuddling up in front of a fireplace. Our cat couldn’t get enough of this blanket, and I’m sure it’s now his favourite. It is also surprisingly affordable when you consider the fact that it is double-lined and can be used on both sides. Overall, this is an excellent option for anyone looking for a variety of brightly coloured blankets for their cat.

4. Pet Parents Pawtect Premium Waterproof Blanket

We were only going to use this waterproof blanket as a lining for the cat bed when we got it because we didn’t think it would be comfortable. However, despite being waterproof, it is also quite plush, so it has worked well as a blanket and kept our furniture safe from spills in a couple of cases.

It’s also made of Sherpa Fleece, so no synthetic materials if you’re not a fan of them. This also means that it is a bit pricier than some of the other blankets on the list, but it is well worth the price in our opinion. It’s also surprisingly durable, with a double edge that won’t fray if your cat plays with it all day.

6. Petsvv Pet Blanket

If you don’t want anything fancy and just want a simple, inexpensive pack of blankets for your cats that do the job, these are the blankets for you. They not only keep your cat warm, but they also serve as absorbent towels in the bathroom, if you plan on using them for that purpose later on.

They come in a set of three and are available in various colours and designs, including circles and star prints. There are two sizes available, and while they weren’t as durable as we would have liked, and some of the threads did come loose due to our cat’s constant kneading, they’re still a great option if your cat isn’t chaotic and ferocious.

7. Luciphia Fluffy Premium Pet Blanket

Luciphia-Fluffy-Premium-Pet-Blanket

This is a very fluffy blanket, and while it looks great as a throw blanket and our cats enjoy cuddling up to it, it does trap a lot of cat fur. They are also machine washable, though the blankets must be washed separately. They are made of micro-fibre, which makes them lightweight and soft to the touch.

While they are long-lasting, we did notice some fur coming off as our cat kneaded them. However, that is the price you must pay if you want such a fluffy and plush blanket for your kitty. Overall, they’re a great affordable option that comes in three neutral colours.

Essential things to keep in mind while buying a blanket for your cat

  • Material: This is an important consideration when purchasing a blanket for yourself or your cat. Natural materials, such as Sherpa fleece, are always preferable, but synthetic materials, such as polyester, aren’t bad either. You should also keep in mind your requirements. Do you want a double-lined blanket, for example? Is it a two-in-one or something else?
  • Size: When it comes to blankets, size does matter. You don’t want to buy a blanket that is too small for your cat and he can’t even cuddle in it. However, you do not want one that is too heavy or large for your kitty. At the end of the day, it’s all trial and error.
  • Waterproof: While purchasing a blanket with a waterproof lining is not required, if your cat is prone to accidents, it may be a good idea to purchase a waterproof blanket to protect your furniture.
  • Durability: Cats enjoy kneading into soft materials. This means that any blanket can suffer a lot of wear and tear in a short period of time. Purchasing a blanket made of durable material is a must if you have a particularly ferocious cat.

When it comes to finding the perfect blanket for their feline companion, cat owners have a lot of options. So it all depends on what you’re looking for in a blanket. There are many high-end blankets on the market, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find an affordable option that meets all of your needs. After all, what matters is that your cat stays warm all winter.
