Cat Covey in Evanston, IL

Households in Evanston (population ≈ 75,570, 11.9 miles north of Chicago) know the same evening: the cat wants the warm spot, and the warm spot is you. That is the best part. Cat Covey sews a cave into it — a 60″ × 50″ throw with a pouch at the foot end.

How cold Evanston actually gets

Between October and April, Evanston averages an overnight low of 32.4°F and drops to -7.5°F at its coldest. That is 171 days — roughly 5.6 months — below 45°F. A cat's thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F, well above the 64–72°F most people keep a house at, so for a good part of the year a Evanston cat is mildly cold indoors even when you are comfortable. That is why it finds your feet, the laptop, the radiator and the sunbeam, in that order.

Does Cat Covey ship to Evanston, IL?

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.
