How to get Matching Hoodies for Cat Owners and Their Felines
By Kelli Bender
The world of matching pet and owner outfits continues to expand to new and wonderful
places. Cat Person is offering a limited edition hoodie set for felines and their people that is purr-fect for the proudly kitty obsessed. Cat Person is a cat care company dedicated to strengthening the bond between humans and their felines through their products — and this hoodie set lets cat owners show that special relationship off.

Make it clear to others who your cat’s “person” is with this hoodie set for felines and their humans.
The set features two hoodies: a black
hoodie for humans (available in sizes S-XXXL) that features the words “Cat Person” across the front and a smaller black hoodie for felines (available in small and medium sizes) that has the word “Cat.” Both 100% cotton hoodies are available for sale individually on CatPerson.com, with the human version on sale for $45 and the cat hoodie costing $25. Shoppers can also purchase the matching set together and get a $10 discount on the total price.
The idea of wearing matching clothes with your cat is exciting, but Cat Person cautions owners should be gentle and respectful when attempting to dress their felines. “All cats are different. While some don’t mind the occasional fashion show, we cannot guarantee your cat will allow you to dress them in this attire,” Cat Person shared on the website.

‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’: Salem Was Played By 3 Real CATS
Sabrina the Teenage Witch blew up the television scene in the late 1990s. ABC first debuted the
popular series in the fall of 1996, and shortly after, the show was getting renewed for additional and consecutive seasons.
However, some of Sabrina’s fans might be surprised to learn that the character’s roots and origin
stemmed from the comic book Archie’s Madhouse #22. The comic book was the inspiration behind a Showtime film, which eventually led to the creation of ABC’s TV show that so many people fell in love with.

Salem’s role on ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ When season one of Sabrina the Teenage Witch kicked off watchers were immediately introduced to Salem. However, they quickly realize he is no ordinary cat. The cat who has been living with Sabrina’s Aunt Zelda and Aunt Hilda is actually a 500-year-old witch who was sentenced to spend 100 years living as a cat. As a result, Salem had quite the personality in addition to having the ability to talk. Throughout the seasons Salem would appear in the episodes as good friend of Sabrina. He would often help the young witch how to best understand and use her magical powers. However, some fans of Sabrina the Teenage Witch might be surprised to learn that a total of three different cats played Salem.
Second to Hart, Salem was the character to appear in the most episodes of the series. The sassy yet wise furry friend became a staple of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but, surprisingly enough, there were multiple cats to have taken on the important and entertaining responsibility. Mental Floss has recapped the details behind the legendary character. Elvis and Witch were the first two black cats to take on the role of Salem. Unfortunately, when both of the cats passed away, they were forced to look for a third cat to carry the torch. That is when Warlock came into the picture. In addition, production also had puppet versions of the cat that would take three people to execute successfully. The credit for the voice of Salem goes all to Nick Bakay, who also occasionally wrote an episode or two for the series. Fans and viewers of Sabrina the Teenage Witch will always remember Salem’s characters fondly

Do you look like your cat ? Sometimes, a person and an animal can look so alike, you might just think they’ve got the same soul. Professional animal photographer Gerrard Gethings’ latest project involves pairing people up with their cat lookalikes. The resemblance is uncanny and the portraits are magical. The hair, the looks, the colors—they’re all chosen to mimic the same energy. And Gethings has done it perfectly.
