The real problem
You are never going to win the keyboard argument.
Your cat isn’t on your laptop to wind you up. It’s warm, it smells like you, and you’re finally sitting still. Push them off and they’re back in ninety seconds.
So stop fighting it and give them somewhere better. LAPWORK puts a warm, sherpa-lined pouch right on your chest, close enough that they settle, low enough that your hands stay free.
Honest answers
What you’re probably thinking
Fair questions. Here’s the straight version, not the sales version.
“My cat hates being picked up.”
Then don’t pick her up. Sit down wearing it, unzip the pouch and let it sit open on your lap. Most cats investigate a warm hole that smells like their person within a day or two and climb in themselves.
“Won’t he feel trapped?”
The pouch stays open at the top. His head is out the whole time and he can climb straight back out whenever he likes. It’s a pocket to sit in, not a carrier that shuts. Never zip it fully closed with your cat inside.
“My cat is a unit.”
The pouch suits small to medium cats. If yours is on the bigger side, size up and keep a hand underneath when you stand. If he genuinely doesn’t fit, send it back within 30 days and we’ll refund you.
“I’ll overheat with a cat on me.”
It’s a winter hoodie, so treat it like one: a t-shirt underneath, and wear it when you’d normally reach for a thick jumper. When she hops out, unzip the pouch and it hangs like any oversized fleece.
“It’ll be covered in fur in a week.”
It will, same as your sofa and your black jeans. The upside is that dense sherpa hides hair far better than knitwear, a lint roller sorts it in seconds, and the whole thing goes in the machine on a cold gentle wash.
“Is this a gimmick I’ll wear twice?”
Zip the pouch shut and it’s a plain oversized teddy hoodie with side pockets. Most people wear it as their everyday cold-house hoodie and use the pouch in the evenings.
“I’ve seen cheaper ones online.”
You have, and some of them are fine. Ours is the oversized cut with the full arched zip, free tracked UK delivery, a real inbox that answers you, and 30 days to change your mind. That’s what you’re paying the difference for.
“What if I order the wrong size?”
It’s cut oversized on purpose, so take your usual size for a roomy fit and size up if you’re between sizes. If it’s wrong, you have 30 days from delivery to send it back.

The bit everyone worries about
Teach your cat the pouch in 3 days
Let it smell like you
Leave the hoodie on your chair or their bed for a day. Familiar smell first, everything else second.
Wear it at cuddle o’clock
Put it on at the time they usually come to you, sit down, open the pouch and drop a treat in. Let them decide.
Sit still and let them settle
Lift them in, zip halfway, keep a hand on them for the first few minutes. Most cats curl up and stay put.
Some cats take a week. Some take an afternoon. A few never fancy it, and those people get their money back.
If your cat won’t use it, it’s on us.
Wear it, try the 3-day routine, see what your cat makes of it. If it’s not right for either of you, message us within 30 days of delivery and you get your money back.
Still wondering
The rest of the questions
Can I wash it?
Yes. Inside out, cold gentle cycle, hang to dry. Skip the tumble dryer so the sherpa stays fluffy.
Will my cat’s claws ruin it?
The fleece is a dense loop pile rather than a loose knit, so claws don’t pull threads the way they do on a jumper. Keep their claws trimmed and it holds up to normal kneading.
Can I use it with two cats?
One at a time. Two cats in one pouch is a fight waiting to happen, and most multi-cat homes end up taking turns, or buying two hoodies and roping in a flatmate.
Does it work with a small dog or a rabbit?
It’s designed around cats, but small dogs who like being carried usually take to it the same way. Rabbits generally don’t enjoy being held up high, so we’d skip it.
Is it warm enough to wear outside?
It’s a thick indoor-weight hoodie, so it’s fine for the garden, the bins and the school run. For a proper winter walk, wear a coat over the top and keep your cat indoors.
How do the bundles work?
Two hoodies save you 15%, three save you 20%, and you choose a colour and size for each one. The discount comes off automatically at checkout.
Will it arrive in time for a gift?
Most orders arrive within 7–12 working days. If you’re buying for a birthday or Christmas, order with a couple of weeks to spare and you’ll be fine.
