"My cat Mogi loves to be held," says Mogi's mom, who uploads cute videos of her cat to her YouTube channel.
"Today, he's going in the hoodie," she continues, smiling as she plays with the hood on her sweatshirt.
It's such a simple trick, we can't believe we didn't think of it already! All Mogi's mom does is wear the hoodie backward so the hood part hangs over her chest. Then, she picks Mogi up and places him inside the hood. Instant cat carrier!
"He's already purring like crazy," Mogi's mom says as she struggles to get his whole bottom in the right place. Of course, it's important to make sure your cat is secure if you're going to move around the house, typing, picking things up and whatever else you might do when your cat isn't in your hands.
"He is so happy about this," Mogi's mom says. "He's going to fall asleep."
"How does it feel like to have everything I ever dreamed of?" one commenter jokes.
"Now I wanna be a cat snuggling in a hoodie," another says.
"Man, I need a reinforced hoodie, because my cats are 8 kilos. No way a hoodie would survive them," another laughs.

Why Do Cats Love to Be Swaddled?
While it's true that some cats would rather not be picked up by just anyone at just any time, some cats and kittens absolutely adore being swaddled, just like Mogi in this hoodie.
Just as we humans enjoy hugs and cuddling with our pets and loved ones, cats get a rush of happy hormones from being close to the people and animals they love most.
Being wrapped in a blanket or cozying up in your lap releases endorphins and oxytocin in your cat. These are the hormones that signal happiness, safety and love.
Of course, there's a lot of security in being swaddled safely by a loved one. That comfortable feeling between blankets, clothing and cushions also helps your cat stay calm and relaxed. It's a sign that they feel safe with you, too.
If you've got a Velcro cat like Mogi, try this hoodie trick and see how fast your cat falls asleep.
