How to Put Socks on a Cat

Many cat lovers enjoy dressing up their furry friends in a special outfit for the holidays or other special occasions. Cat clothing includes costumes, sweaters and even socks. If you like to dress up your cat, you can complete his or her outfit with a pair of matching socks. Your cat is an ideal candidate for wearing socks if he or she doesn't seem to mind when you touch its paws. You can put socks on your cat by treating him or her gently and with respect.
