Seriously try it. Pics too! - Quick backstory: -My orange cat is Sammy, he's two now, had him for about a year and a half, always happy and playful but developing fear of noises and things like that. -He was so overly playful I decided he needed a friend and after a couple months looking around I got a hyper little 6 month old kitty who is nice to everyone, cats and dogs included. -Sammy did not like her, however, and it took some time getting used to but they play together and are great friends. -Now, problem is Sammy was so stressed from this new cat that he lost a ton of weight(I was scared for him and made sure to get all sorts of blood tests and things like that, he's fine physically). And on top of the weight loss he was also extremely anxious and scared of everything. Literal scaredy-cat. -I did lots of things to try to chill him out but the pheromones did pretty much nothing(except for a spray one I use in his crate when he gets brought to the vet, which works well, but only in the crate). -I always saw dogs wearing the anxiety vests and they looked like they worked pretty well. At this point I'm already thousands of dollars deep in medical testing and pheromones and I constantly have to be careful not to scare Sammy and stress him out further, let's try a vest. -It WORKED the first wear but it works even better after a few more times. The instructions were pretty much to feed your kitty a few treats on the folded up vest so they associate it positively with food, then lay it on their back without strapping it on and let them walk around till it falls off(I did this twice)-all along Sammy seemed very unphased. I fed him about 5 treats up till now-any time he came into contact with the vest- and I then strapped him in. It was easy but I have well trained cats who (honestly) have never scratched me out of anger- sometimes accidentally during play but still rare. So this might not be super easy for everyone. Once I got him in it he did not do the flop that everyone talks about. He's psycho for the laser pointer so I had that out to distract him. Other cat locked in room so that he didn't stress out any. We played about 10-15 minutes and he was only confused two or three times(backing up like something was on him) and I just distracted him with play. Took the vest off after playing, no struggling, seemed very relaxed. Later that night we did the same thing. I left it on an extra ten minutes while he and my other cat played. I removed it again. -We are at the point now where he just wears it most of the day. I have to say it's amazing. It's like I hit the off button on his anxiety. He was so spazzy that if I walked too quickly towards him when he was lying down, he would bolt away in pure fear until he realized he wasn't about to be murdered. Flight reaction 24/7. I should mention he's all indoor so he's never had a threat to his life to have this kind of fear. NOW seriously I could drive my car through the house and he'd be like "that's neat." (Not that he's apathetic or depressed lol, just that it's taking a lot more of a scary stimulus to make him jolt up or be afraid). So, random pros and cons at the end here CONS: -Sammy kind of gets Hat-Hair when he wears it for a couple hours. --- Solution: I give him a quick brushing when I take it off and he fixes it himself when I'm done. -it MIGHT get hot in the summer. He is pure indoor but I live in California and sometimes the heat strikes. I feel like I should note that the material is shockingly breathable. I would compare it to a thick under armor shirt, that kind of sporty material. I really like the material, this is a very high quality vest, BUT it will probably be coming off if temps go above 80F inside. -Slight risk of it getting stuck on something and slight choking risk because it has the neck strap(Velcro that most cats would be strong enough to kick off if they got adrenaline). I haven't seen any risk truly but i am aware it is there, so I will simply take it off of him if I am leaving the house. PROS: -It worked and WELL. -Material is high quality, looks like it will last a few years. -It looks pretty adjustable if you have a fat cat. Sammy is skinny and I bring it pretty tight on him(two fingers still fit under every edge and he does not act uncomfortable). ---side note: Sammy is about 8 pounds but he should be about 10-11 when he gets fattened back up. See pictures for how it fit him. -Sammy still has FULL mobility. Runs, jumps high, plays, poops, you name it. Took him a few times to learn how to jump up high while wearing it but no big deal. Final picture is him sleeping next to me literally the entire time I was writing this review(about an hour lol) Anyways, it worked for me. I will probably update this in a few months when Sammy hopefully fattens back out :) thanks for reading. PS since it's not that easy to tell if a review on desertcart is real any more(including most of the thundershirt reviews lol) I purchased this vest cash and believe it's worth the 40$. It was NOT given to me free to review, and I do NOT work for thundershirt. Review: Works well for our boys anxiety. - Received item just as described. Looks like new. Purchased for a cat with anxiety and resulting negative behaviors. We tried all kinds of plug in pheromones for pets with minimal effect. This is his second jacket. He doesn’t wear it 24/7 but it calms him within 30 minutes. He is about 11 to 12 pounds and fairly tall and this fits him well. He can walk around well with the jacket on, however, he can’t jump up onto things when wearing his jacket. It might be hot during the summer unless you have AC and not recommended for outside use. It’s stretchy material. ## Features - Great for calming cats during vet visits, groomers, travel, or with general anxiety problems - Easy to create a snug, comfortable fit which is essential for its effectiveness in treating anxiety - Attractive, durable fabric that resists collecting hair. Machine washable for when necessary and it lasts at least the life of the initial user - Large size for cats with chest size 17" up to 24" and greater than 13 lbs (adjustable) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007Y31JT2 | | ASIN | B007Y31JT2 | | Additional Features | Comfortable, Reversible, Tear Resistant | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Theme | Cat | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,357 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #10 in Cat Apparel | | Brand Name | Thundershirt | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Chest Size | 24 Inches | | Closure Type | Pull On | | Color | Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (3,345) | | Date First Available | May 1, 2012 | | Fabric Type | 60% Polyester, 35% Rayon, 5% Spandex | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Type Name | ThunderShirt For Cats | | Item Weight | 0.25 Pounds | | Item model number | T02-HGL | | League Name | NBA | | Manufacturer | Thundershirt | | Manufacturer | Thundershirt | | Manufacturer Part Number | T02-HGL | | Material Type | Polyester | | Minimum Weight Recommendation | 13 Pounds | | Model Number | T02-HGL | | Neck Size | 17 inches | | Neck Style | Round Neck | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday, New Year, Thanksgiving | | Pattern | Solid | | Pet Type | Cat | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Product Dimensions | 8.46 x 7.09 x 7.09 inches; 4 ounces | | Seasons | All | | Size | Large ( > 13 lbs) | | Style | clothing | | Target Species | Cat | | Theme | Animals | | UPC | 886867450420 854880001585 696735592196 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Chest Size:** 24 Inches - **Minimum Weight Recommendation:** 13 Pounds - **Neck Size:** 17 inches - **Occasion:** Birthday, New Year, Thanksgiving - **Size:** Large ( > 13 lbs) ## Images ![For Cats, Grey, Large ( > 13 lbs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KqkqtUWHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: sizing** A: The size recommended by the manufacturers was incorrect. I bought a medium size shirt for a cat who is roughly 11-12 lbs and it was too small. **Q: What size to buy?** A: SIZE WEIGHTS < 9 LBSM 9 - 13 LBSL > 13 LBSThis is how I found out what size to buys. The thoundershirt does work good. Hope this help you **Q: Can you attach a leash to it?** A: You won't be able to walk your cat on a leash because the shirt is too relaxing. You'll have to carry your cat. **Q: My cat screams and cries all the way to the vet and undergoes terrible stress. He's fine when we get there. Will the Thundershirt help?** A: Probably. My cat has the cat version of Alzheimer's. When he starts howling at the top of his lungs, I put him in the shirt he stops howling and flops over. He seems OK for a while after that and I take the shirt off after about 15 minutes. This cat becomes Catzilla when taken to the vet and the shirt reduces the screaming and conniption fits by about 50%. It was worth the money. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anxious cat?

Purchased for a cat with anxiety and resulting negative behaviors. We tried all kinds of plug in pheromones for pets with minimal effect. This is his second jacket. He doesn’t wear it 24/7 but it calms him within 30 minutes. He is about 11 to 12 pounds and fairly tall and this fits him well.

It’s stretchy material. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Promising Concept, but Not for Belly-Shy Cats *by G***A on May 23, 2023* I recently purchased the Thundershirt for Cats with high hopes of finding a solution for my feline friend's fear of rainstorms. As a former feral cat, she despises the sound of rain and seeks shelter in the basement until the storm subsides. The Thundershirt seemed like the perfect answer to help alleviate her anxiety, but our experience with it had its ups and downs. Let's start with the positives. The concept of the Thundershirt is fantastic. The idea of providing gentle, constant pressure to help calm cats during stressful situations is commendable. The construction of the shirt is solid, with soft, comfortable material that seems to be well-suited for feline wear. It's easy to put on, and the adjustable straps ensure a snug fit. However, my cat's aversion to having her belly touched proved to be a significant drawback. The Thundershirt's design necessitates contact with the cat's belly, which she strongly disliked. Despite my best efforts to introduce the shirt gradually and make her feel comfortable, she simply couldn't tolerate the feeling of the fabric on her belly. It caused her distress and made her more agitated during storms, defeating the purpose of the product. If your cat is comfortable with belly touches and enjoys being hugged or swaddled, the Thundershirt may work wonders for you. It provides a gentle, reassuring pressure that can potentially soothe anxious cats and make them feel secure. In fact, my cat found an unconventional use for the Thundershirt: she loved wearing it like a cape! It seemed to give her a sense of empowerment, and she strutted around the house proudly. So, if your cat enjoys wearing clothes, this might be an unexpected hit! In conclusion, the Thundershirt for Cats has its merits, but it's crucial to consider your cat's individual preferences. If your furry friend doesn't mind having their belly touched and enjoys the sensation, I highly recommend giving this product a try. However, for cats who are belly-shy like mine, the Thundershirt may not be the ideal solution. While it didn't work as intended for us, it provided some entertaining moments when my cat wore it like a fashionable cape. ## Frequently Bought Together - ThunderShirt For Cats, Grey, Large ( > 13 lbs) - FELIWAY® Classic Cat Calming Spray, 60ml - Comforts Cats at Home and On the Go and Helps to Calm During Travel - FELIWAY® Optimum 30 Day Cat Calming Plug In Pheromone Diffuser Starter Kit, 48ml - Helps Reduce Common Signs of Stress in Cats & Kittens, Enhanced Calming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17508853-for-cats-grey-large-13-lbs](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17508853-for-cats-grey-large-13-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
