Cats & Chapters

Two of life's greatest pleasures, united at last. The Cats & Chapters collection is for readers whose reading nook always has a cat in it — curled up, opinionated, and somehow always on top of the best page.

  • Feline-inspired literary designs made for cat-obsessed readers
  • Premium apparel and gifts that celebrate cats and books in equal measure
  • Exclusive Bookish Society pieces for the cat-loving bibliophile
  • Purrfect for gifting — or keeping entirely for yourself

Cat Lover Book Sweatshirts

Cats & Chapters is for readers who have lost a page, or a whole chapter, to a cat sitting on the book. The “So This Is How You Read” series gives ten breeds their own reading portrait, from Maine Coons and Ragdolls to Persians, Siberians, Devon Rex and British Shorthairs. Black cats get plenty of love too, with a Salem book club, “Trick Or Book” and little ghosts reading beside their favorite familiar.

Every piece is a sweatshirt. The classic printed crewneck is 8.0 oz medium-heavy fleece with ribbed cuffs and waistband; the Softstyle Sweatshirt is 8.4 oz with a smooth ring-spun cotton face and dropped shoulders; and a handful of designs, like “Easily Distracted By Cats And Books,” are embroidered. Seasonal favorites include cozy Christmas cats and gingerbread cats with books.

Halloween black cats also prowl Spooky Reads, wintery ones curl up in A Literary Christmas, and gift ideas are gathered in gifts for cat lovers.
