I used to scoop my cat up every time she wanted to be held. Now she rides in the pink pouch while I make coffee. She purrs against my chest and I still have a free hand for the kettle. The drape is huge, which I like, though the sleeves run long.

We got the black one for our small dog. He used to wriggle when I carried him. In the pouch he just watches the room. I have had it two weeks and wear it on the sofa most evenings. Wish there were more colors, but black hides fur well.

Blue was the one that matched what I already wear. My terrier mix sits in the front pouch on short walks to the mailbox. Hands stay free for keys. It is cozy and a bit bulky, which is the point.

I work from home and my cat used to sit on the keyboard. She now naps in the pouch while I type. I picked pink. After a month it still feels like a regular oversized hoodie with a better job.
