TikToker Hailey B. Lewis’ cats are cracking everybody up. She shared a throwback video of the two cats dressed in sweaters, but they don’t recognize each other. The looks on their faces are priceless!
In the video, both cats are wearing Christmas sweaters, and neither of them looks very happy about it. When they spot each other, it’s clear that they have no idea what to think about the strange cat in their home! We can’t quit laughing at the cat that backs away slowly to make an escape!

Why Cats Don’t Like Wearing Clothing
If you have a cat at home, chances are they’re not big fans of wearing any kind of clothing at all. Why? According to Veste for Pets, “Cats do not like clothing because it makes them feel confined. Putting clothes on them stresses them out, and they will immediately freeze, fall over, or run. If you have ever tried to hug your cat, you may have noticed they do not like that either.”
This makes sense since – for the most part – cats are not big fans of cuddling and when they do cuddle, it’s usually on their own terms.
If you have a cat at home that will occasionally let you dress them up, make sure to keep these safety tips from Veste in mind:
- Pick an outfit that is made for cats
- Get a soft sweater or light t-shirt that is not too tight
- Make sure there are no small parts or pieces that can come off and get swallowed
- Do not leave it on your cat for an extended period of time
If your feline is fine with wearing a sweater or similar item, make sure they do not overheat with it on. Symptoms include excessive panting, confusion, dry gums, lethargy, increased heart rate, and diarrhea or vomiting.
