Cats notice weight. Put anything with real bulk round a cat's neck and it will sit down, walk backwards and refuse to move, which is why so much festive knitwear ends up unworn in a drawer. This scarf is a single layer of printed polyester weighing 15g, about the weight of a couple of teaspoons, and light enough that most cats forget it is there for long enough to be photographed.

One size covers a neck circumference of 20 to 46cm, which spans a cat, a Chihuahua and a Border Collie between them, and there are seven prints - striped deer, red snowflakes with lettering, red bells, Father Christmas with an umbrella, a green umbrella handle, deep green, and Father Christmas on black. The design is printed rather than stitched on, so there is no bell, no bead and nothing loose to come away in a mouth.

• One size fitting a neck circumference of 20-46cm
• Single-layer printed polyester
• Weighs 15g
• Seven prints, all single layer
• Nothing hanging: no bells, beads or charms
• Supplied as one scarf

On sizing: one size covering 20 to 46cm means a cat wears a fair amount of spare fabric knotted at the throat. Tie it so two fingers slide underneath and no more, and do not trim it - the edges are finished and will fray if you cut them. Take it off before your cat is left alone, because loose fabric and a cat flap are a poor combination.

Who it's for: cats who refuse jumpers, small dogs, and anyone wanting a Christmas photograph without asking the animal to wear something it can feel.
