Keep sessions supervised
Use SunPaws only while you are nearby, especially during the first few fittings.
Bright habits
For cats who follow the sun across the room.
SunPaws is made for supervised comfort, cute photos, and a little extra shade during the daily golden-hour routine.
Simple sunny-day rules.
Cat sunglasses are an accessory, not medical equipment. For eye irritation, squinting, or health concerns, your veterinarian is the right first call.
Watch body language
If your cat paws at the frame, freezes, hides, or seems annoyed, take the shades off.
Offer shady choices
A cat should always have an easy way to move out of direct sun and cool down.
How to introduce them
Start with curiosity, not commitment.
Most cats prefer new gear in tiny steps. Let them sniff the case, reward calm behavior, and try short wear sessions before any sun-soaked posing.
Let the shades be boring
Place them near your cat for a day so the new object loses its mystery.
Try a two-second fit
Slip them on briefly, reward calm behavior, and remove them before frustration starts.
Build up slowly
Add time only when your cat stays relaxed, comfortable, and able to move normally.
