Quick answer: Yes — despite the name, Pup R Us carries real cat gear: a large-cat travel carrier ($32.99), a soft mesh harness sized for cats ($9.99), two grooming brushes rated for cats, a knit sweater cut for both species ($19.99), plus dedicated collections for cat toys, beds, apparel, cleaning, and accessories.
We get the email regularly: "Love the store, but I have a cat." Fair. The name on the door says Pup, so this post is the official tour of everything on our shelves that is genuinely built for — or explicitly rated for — felines. No dog products awkwardly rebadged; every item below names cats in its own listing.
Travel: a carrier that respects big cats
The Cat Carrier for Large Cats ($32.99) is the flagship of our cat range: 18.1 x 11.8 x 11.8 inches, rated to 20 lbs, with mesh ventilation panels, top and side entries, and a machine-washable faux lambskin liner. Its cleverest feature is a set of roller blinds that lower over the mesh, turning a view-of-everything carrier into a calm den for cats that would rather not watch the world go by. It folds flat between vet visits. We gave it a full write-up in our carrier spotlight.
Adventures: a harness actually sized for cats
The Soft Mesh Adjustable Pet Harness ($9.99) lists cats right in its name and sizing — XXS through L, with the small end scaled to feline frames. The vest-style mesh wraps the body rather than the throat, the listing calls out an escape-resistant structure, and reflective accents help in low light. Two honest notes: escape resistance depends on snugging the adjustable straps properly, and cats need gradual, patient introduction to any harness — short indoor sessions with treats before a single paw touches grass.
Grooming: both brushes are cat-rated
Our best-selling product store-wide, the Double Sided Dog and Cat Grooming Brush ($12.99), is built for long, wiry, and double coats on either species — a 9-tooth side for knots, a 17-tooth side for loose undercoat. For general upkeep on other coat types, the Dual Sided Pet Grooming Brush ($14.99) pairs fine and coarse teeth and is likewise listed for dogs and cats. Long-haired cats mat in the same friction zones dogs do; light pressure and short sessions win.
Apparel: one sweater, two species
The Soft Warm Knit Pet Sweater Pullover ($19.99) was designed for both dogs and cats from the start — and its pullover construction is the reason it works on felines, who famously do not negotiate with buckles. The stretch acrylic knit accommodates a cat's narrower shoulders and longer torso. Beyond it, we keep a whole cat apparel collection stocked.

Introducing new gear to a cat
Whatever you buy, the same general playbook applies: let the item sit where your cat can inspect it, pair first contact with treats, keep early sessions short, and never force it. Most cats come around on their own schedule. If your cat shows intense, persistent stress with carriers or travel specifically, your veterinarian can suggest strategies — that is a better route than powering through.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pup R Us only for dogs?
No. We carry dedicated cat collections - toys, beds, apparel, cleaning, accessories, and carriers - plus several products whose own listings are rated for cats, including our best-selling grooming brush, a mesh harness, a knit sweater, and a large-cat carrier.
Can a cat safely wear the mesh harness outdoors?
The harness is sized for cats and lists an escape-resistant vest structure, but that depends on snug, properly adjusted straps. Introduce it gradually indoors first, keep sessions short and positive, and always supervise outdoor time.
Which brush should I pick for my cat?
For long, wiry, or thick double coats, the double-sided brush with its dematting and deshedding sides is the purpose-built option. For general maintenance on other coats, the dual-sided brush with fine and coarse teeth covers everyday tidying.
Will the knit sweater actually fit a cat?
It was designed for dogs and cats. The pullover has no straps or closures, and the stretchy acrylic knit accommodates a cat's narrower shoulders and longer body within the smaller sizes. Measure before ordering.
Do cat orders ship the same way as dog orders?
Yes - everything in the store ships with flat $8.95 standard shipping, 1-2 business days of processing, and delivery in roughly 5-10 business days after processing.
