GUND Pusheen Cat Slippers

Cat slippers — house shoes that have adorable feline flair — are perfect for lounging around the house, whether you are a kitten fanatic or just looking a cozy addition to your wardrobe. While all slippers feature some sort of feline design, the styles vary greatly in appearance, ranging from stuffed-animal-like shoes to plainer ballet-flat versions.

Manufacturers make cat slippers with different thicknesses of padding, and pairs with denser padding are often more pillow-like. Most styles are equipped with some sort of lining, which can be made from fleece, faux fur or other soft materials, to keep your feet extra warm and wick away moisture. Even though the majority of cat slippers are made for indoor use, choosing a pair with a non-slip sole is ideal, particularly if you have wood, tile or concrete floors.

• Slipper socks combine the softness of a sock with the slip-resistant sole of a house slipper. The style is narrower and often less bulky than the typical slipper.
• Cat slippers are made with both hard and soft soles. Soft soles tend to be more flexible, but hard soles are more durable and waterproof, particularly thick rubber ones, making them more suitable for walking outdoors (for example, if you plan to walk into your yard with the dog).
• Some cat slippers are washer and dryer safe, but many require you to hand wash them. Check the manufacturers directions before washing your slippers since cleaning them the wrong way could cause shrinkage.
• Wear socks with your slippers for extra warmth.
