Fully customisable to your cat's neck circumference. Proportions of the bandana-scarf and tassels can be altered by changing yarn weight and/or hook size and by adding extra rows.

General guide to cat neck sizes:
• Small: 19-22cm – small, fine and hairless breeds e.g. Burmese, Siamese, Abyssinian, Balinese, Cornish and Devon Rex, Singapura etc.
• Medium: 23-28cm – for average-sized cats e.g. European, Domestic Shorthair, Tabbies, Scottish Fold, Persian, Manx, Bengal etc.
• Large: 29-33cm for bigger cats and larger or long-haired breeds e.g. Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, Savannah, Siberian, orange Tabbies etc.


**IMPORTANT: These bandana-scarves are intended to be stylish and fun for you and your cat. For their safety, please supervise your cat at all times while they are wearing this bandana-scarf or any other item that secures around the neck, or within which claws may become entangled. Please ensure your button, if added, is well secured to avoid a choking hazard.**
