Why it lands here specifically
Tracy has a population of about 84,691. and sits 37.5 miles northeast of San Jose, CA. Between October and April it averages an overnight low of 47.7°F, bottoming out at 34.3°F, with 86 days below 45°F — roughly 2.8 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.

- 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.
