Read the script
- 0:00 Half of what I do with a cat is done through a towel. Nails, tablets, drops. The towel is the whole technique, and a bath towel falls off the moment she moves.
- 0:09 Ninety by ninety centimetres of thick fabric that grips itself. Press one side onto the other and it stays. No clips, no knots, and nobody holding it shut.
- 0:20 She sits in the middle facing away from you. One side up over her back, snug behind the front legs, press. The other side over the top, press. Head out. Always head out.
- 0:33 Firm, not tight: a flat hand fits between the wrap and her chest. Do the job in a minute, and watch her breathing the whole time. Open mouth, panting, going limp: unwrap her now.
- 0:45 It holds a cat. It does not calm one. A cat who is panicking gets unwrapped, not wrapped harder, and a cat who fights every tablet needs a different plan from your vet, not a better towel.
- 0:55 Gary gets wrapped for his claws and forgives me by lunch.

How it works
Why the Sticky Wrap works when a towel does not
Wrap, press, both hands free
A bath towel works until she moves, then it is on the floor and she is under the bed.
- The fabric grips itselfThis fabric grips itself: bring one side over her back, press, bring the other side over, press, and it stays closed with no clips, no knots and nobody holding it shut.
- One person and a tabletThat is what turns a two-person job into one person and a tablet, with the cat held rather than grabbed.
Thick enough to matter
The listing rates the fabric at 500 gsm, which is towel-and-a-half territory, over a 90 by 90 cm square.
- A big cat or a kittenThat is enough to go round a big cat with the front legs inside and the corners meeting over her back, or to fold double for a kitten.
- Takes scratches, not a biteThick fabric takes the scratches a thin towel does not; it does not stop a bite, so your face stays away from hers.
The sixty-second job
It is for the things that take a minute and used to take a fight: a tablet, ear drops, one paw out at a time for nails, a mat brushed out.
- Head out, firm not tightHead out, always, the wrap firm not tight, the job done, the cat unwrapped.
- Not for a panicking catIt is not for a cat who is panicking, not for more than a few minutes, and never with nobody in the room.
Size guide
One size: will it wrap my cat, and what is in the box
-
One size, 90 x 90 cm. Lay it flat with her sitting in the middle and the corners meet over her back on any cat; on a big cat they meet with less to spare, which is the size the sheet was cut for.
-
Kittens and small cats: fold it in half first, or the fabric does more of the holding than the wrap. Old cats with stiff joints: firm, not tight, and never fold a leg under her that does not want to fold.
-
It is for a cat who can be held. A cat who is truly panicking is not wrapped harder; she is let go, the job waits for a calmer moment, and if there is no calmer moment that is a conversation with your vet, not a tighter towel.

How to
How to wrap a cat so the job takes a minute
Lay it out where she already is
On the couch or the floor, not the kitchen bench. Put the wrap down first and let her sit on it while you get the tablet ready.
Wrap from behind
Cat facing away from you. One side up over her back, snug behind the front legs, and press it down. Then the other side over the top, and press. Head out, always.
Firm, not tight
She should feel held, not squeezed. If you can slide a flat hand between the wrap and her chest, it is right.
Do the job and unwrap
Tablet, drops, one paw out at a time for nails. Under a few minutes, then unwrap her and let her walk off. A treat after, every time.
Wash it on the schedule
After anything medical, and whenever it has fur on it. Machine wash per the listing; the temperature is confirmed with the supplier and printed here.
Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, emergency veterinarian
A wrap holds a cat; it does not calm one, and it is never the answer to a cat who is panicking. Head out and nothing over the face, ever. Watch her breathing the whole time: open-mouth breathing, panting or a cat who goes limp means unwrap her now and stop. Never leave a wrapped cat alone, never wrap a cat who is struggling to breathe, and keep it to a few minutes. Thick fabric reduces scratches; it does not stop bites, so your face stays away from hers. A cat who fights every tablet is a conversation with your vet about a different medicine, a different route or pre-visit medication, not a tighter wrap. And if the reason you are wrapping her is something new, a wound, a swelling, a cat off her food, that is the vet before it is the wrap.
Why I designed it
Every vet nurse has a towel. This is the towel done properly.
Half of what I do with a cat in the emergency room is done through a towel, with the cat wrapped so she feels held rather than grabbed. The trick is a towel that stays put, and bath towels do not. The Sticky Wrap is a 90 by 90 cm square of thick fabric that grips itself: one person can wrap, press, and have both hands free. Head out, always. It is not a sedative, and not for a frightened cat who needs a vet. It is for the Sunday nail trim and the twice-daily tablet, done in a minute instead of a fight. Gary forgives me by lunch.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.
Based on 13 Judge.me reviews
My kitty is sensitive and I have to administer meds regularly. This wrap is so much better than a normal towel we used before! It stays in place and the layers kind of stick together
June 2026 The self adhesive design stays secure during vet visits without requiring fasteners or hands. My cat feels surprisingly calm wrapped in this soft material.

What is it, exactly?
A 90 by 90 cm square of thick fabric, purple print outside and white inside, that grips itself when one layer is pressed onto another. You wrap a cat in it the way a vet nurse wraps a cat in a towel, with the front legs inside and the head out, and it stays closed by itself. That leaves both your hands free for the tablet, the drops or the nail clippers.
How does it stay closed with no clips?
The fabric holds to itself where it overlaps, so one side pressed over the other stays put until you peel it back. There is nothing to thread, tie or click, which matters when you are holding a cat with one hand. How the weave does it is being confirmed with the supplier; what it does is in the photographs.
Will it calm my cat down?
No, and please do not buy it for that. A wrap holds a cat so a job can be done quickly; it does not change how she feels about the job. Most cats settle when held firmly with the head free, which is why vets wrap them, but a cat who is panicking is unwrapped and left alone, not wrapped harder. If every tablet is a fight, ask your vet about a different medicine, a different route or pre-visit medication.
How do I give a tablet with it?
Wrap her from behind on the floor or the couch, front legs in, head out, firm not tight. Hand over the top of her head, tip her nose up gently, open the lower jaw with a finger, drop the tablet at the back of the tongue, close the mouth and stroke her throat until she swallows. A little water from a syringe after helps it down. Ask your vet or nurse to show you once.
Can I use it for nail trims?
Yes, and it is the job it does best. Wrap her, then free one front paw at a time out of the front of the wrap, press the pad to extend the claw, and take the clear tip only, well short of the pink. Two or three claws a session is a win; you do not have to do all eighteen at once. A treat after every paw.
Is it safe? What are the rules?
Head out, nothing over the face, ever. Watch her breathing: open-mouth breathing, panting or going limp means unwrap her now and stop. A few minutes at most, never alone, never on a cat who is struggling to breathe, and never as a way to win against a cat who is panicking. The fabric reduces scratches and does not stop bites, so keep your face away from hers.
What if it arrives damaged or my cat hates it?
Email hello@purrz.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo and your order number; faulty, damaged or incorrect items are covered and we pay the return shipping when the error is ours. Before the first real job, practise: the wrap laid out, a treat on it, then a loose wrap for ten seconds and a treat, a few times over a week. Most cats accept a firm wrap once it predicts food.
