Cozy Gifts for People Who Never Want to Leave the Sofa — Gilroy, CA

Evening on the sofa, a cat in the Cat Covey foot-end cave — a gift for someone who lives with a cat in Gilroy, CA

Gilroy sits 28.9 miles southeast of San Jose, and its cats spend 132 days a year below 45°F looking for somewhere warmer than the floor. Usually that somewhere is a person they love.

Why it lands here specifically

Gilroy has a population of about 51,701. and sits 28.9 miles southeast of San Jose, CA. Between October and April it averages an overnight low of 43.4°F, bottoming out at 28.4°F, with 132 days below 45°F — roughly 4.3 months of the year when a cat indoors is actively looking for a heat source.

A cat’s thermoneutral zone — where it is neither working to warm up nor cool down — runs roughly 86–97°F. A person’s is 64–72°F. Domestic cats descend from the African wildcat, a desert animal, so in a room you find pleasant your cat is mildly cold. On a stationary human, feet are the warmest accessible real estate.

Does Cat Covey ship to Gilroy, CA?
Yes — Cat Covey ships anywhere in the United States, including Gilroy, CA. Free shipping on orders over $79.
How big is Cat Covey?
60 inches by 50 inches — a standard throw. The pouch at the foot end runs roughly 18 inches wide in production, deep enough for two average cats or one large cat plus your feet.
What is it made of?
Micro Mink fleece on the outside at 280–320 GSM, with a Sherpa fleece pouch lining at 200–250 GSM and a thermal layer between for the foot well. Machine washable.
Will my cat actually use it?
Cats prefer enclosed, covered resting places — a box, a bag, a cave bed. The pouch has a deep gusset and a semi-rigid entry seam so it holds its shape instead of collapsing flat, which is what makes it read as a cave rather than a fold of fabric.
