The haul

Small-Batch Christmas Gifts — St. Petersburg, FL

Two people on a sofa under a Cat Covey throw, cat in the foot-end cave, St. Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg sits 16.6 miles southwest of Tampa, and its cats spend 10 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

St. Petersburg has a population of about 249,688. and sits 16.6 miles southwest of Tampa, FL. Between October and April it averages an overnight low of 61.9°F, bottoming out at 39.5°F, with 10 days below 45°F — roughly 0.3 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.

Questions

Does Cat Covey ship to St. Petersburg, FL?
Yes — Cat Covey ships anywhere in the United States, including St. Petersburg, FL. 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.
