Cat Harness and Leash Set for Walking Escape Proof, Grey, Large

Bought a camo XL for my male Ragdoll cat. Not used on any tactical missions so far but nice to know it’s ready when he is. Needed a solution to save his pride after scratching himself a bald spot right between his shoulder blades in less than three hours! Overnight delivery was absolutely needed to prevent further scratching and hair loss. Had to spend every moment with him to help him not scratch. Picked up a one application tube of Revolution from vet for suspected dust mites. He did not have fleas and is indoor only. Revolution knocked out the critters immediately. My boy took to the vest right away with no fussing or distress. The adjustable neck kept the vest in place with room for comfortable movement and rest and no back outs. The feeling of being held/embraced by the vest had a very calming effect on my little guy. His face said it all. He loved it and especially appreciated getting his back rubbed on top of the vest. Vet warned his fur might not grow back in the bald spot and we’re glad that has not been the case. Beautiful new fur growth looks fantastic and we’re so relieved he isn’t being chomped on by mites. So my dear sweet boy gets to keep his gorgeous seal point suit with white trousers and all of his fur. The vest helped him and us through this stressful event and he’s doing well and looking great. And now has an outfit he can wear to impress his friends. Did not use the leash but it is sturdy as is the attachment ring on top of the vest. As a ragdoll cat, he is indoors only, as is his half sister. The breed is so gentle and trusting, they will go with anybody. These are my kids! The vest is well made, sturdy and strong, yet flexible in the right ways for comfort. And the Camo is so nice. Haven’t added any tactical patches to the vest but there are two places for some if he decides to go full military or hardcore punk or metal on us. Just so relieved he is happy and his sweet unbothered self. 😼🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥

I think we’ve finally found it! An escape proof harness for my escape artist. We’ll give it some time to get a few adventures under our belt with this one but I have high hopes. Quality looks great, I love the patch pieces which I placed some ESA patches on. He’s 1yr 9lbs 7.5 neck 14 chest. Bought a Small and Medium. Medium fit perfectly so I’ll be sending the small back once that arrives.

Good quality for the price. My cat was goofy when I first put it on, but if you read the instructions that seems to be a pretty normal response and it does state to leave this on for an hour per day for a couple of days before you ever take your cat outside with the leash on. My cat has been primarily an indoor cat but is very curious to go outside which is why I got the leash and harness to begin with. This does have a snug fit. He was not able to break out of it, but was still able to move around like normal. He is around 8 1/2 pounds for size reference and he is a rather longer cat so this was a shorter harness on him. It looks really good on him and it’s functional and serves its purpose.

I have a chunky kitty. I’ve been working on her diet for a few years and as a veterinary assistant, I’m embarrassed that I still haven’t found the magic combination. Now that we’ve moved to a warmer location, my next move is trying to take her for little walks like we did when she was a kitten. Over the last 3 years, I’ve purchased a handful of harnesses and as of now, this is the best one yet. It fits her, it’s easy to adjust, comes with a leash, big plus, the Velcro is surprisingly strong and allows for more freedom in adjustment. And, it is totally adorable as well! She got excited to put it on and stood screaming at the door, so, a great start made much better by a good product!

Update: Now using harness on my new kitten, 6 months in attached pix. The cat I bought the harness for passed ;( The pictured leash is very comfortable (comfy enough for 8hr road trip)and I highly recommend. I’ve used it now to train cats of feral and domestic origins. Tips for kittens— wait until kitten is 4 months old before introducing or until belly fur has totally grown back in after spaying. Do not use this harness if your cat’s belly is shaved. You do not want to further irritate an area already irritated. If your cat stresses and starts obsessively licking their shaved belly, consult your vet to discuss treatment plans. After 4-6 months, you’ll have developed a trust with your domestic kitten, and trust is key to training a kitten or adult cat to tolerate a harness and leash. Start off by just letting your kitten/cat get used to wearing the harness around the house. First few times you put it on, they will flip around like a horse wearing a saddle for first time—- that’s normal! Once they are used to wearing it, attach the leash and walk them through your stairwell if you are in apt. building, or just inside the house or garage. Let them lead, this further builds their trust. When they stop, you stop. I even crouch down to their level when they stop. Only after they are comfortable to walking on leash and harness, should owner attempt to lead. Try using a short phrase like, Xena (pet name), come to lead them in owner’s chosen direction. Cats can learn short phrases. My Siamese cat, Sunny, of 19 years knew many short phrases, and learned to walk on a leash from age 6 months. Sunny travelled all over the world, and because she mastered leash walking as a kitten, enjoyed many airport strolls and was comfortable using her mobile litter box on long hauls. She never once flew in cargo. The harness/leash as conflicted as it sounds does offer your domestic pet independence. Kitten pictured on tree was snapped on her first outdoor experience, she’d only been in stairwell, indoor apartment, and car prior. You can see she doesn’t look stressed and is looking at her owner for approval before she inches further up. Good luck! This is a fantastic alternative to a buckle type of harness. I have used this leash both in airports and to walk my cat outdoors. Only once did she slip out and it was my fault for not properly fastening the around the neck velcro. My cat was in a park and saw a dog, she flipped out and started jumping and twisting, she totally pulled a houdini! I get so many compliments on this vest harness when we are travelling, many people want to know where to buy it. In Germany in particular she gets a lot of attention! I would highly recommend this as a safe, non stressful way to contain your cat while travel or outdoors. If your cat has never worn a vest harness before, you should introduce it slowly.. let your pet wear it several times for a few minutes, build up the minutes over several weeks before a trip or going out doors. In terms of tips for walking your cat on a leash, I recommend starting with a fixed leash like this harness comes with and then moving your way up to a retractable leash when your cat is more in control of themselves. Cats naturally want to climb trees, walls, and run free. Start off with the fixed leash and don't try to control the direction, let your cat lead. When your cat is fully used to the harness/leash, you can slowly try to get control. You have to be very patient and have a strong bond with your cat. I'd think if your cat likes you enough to come to you when called, they are a good candidate for leash walking. If your cat is super independent and won't even come when you call, probably not the type of cat that will take to a harness and leash. Good luck!

This leash worked well for a friend of ours but not us. I will say it is well made. It took us 4 days just to get it on our cat figuring he could walk around the house with it and get used to wearing it. As soon as as my wife put it on him he ran into his play tunnel where we heard a lot kicking, scratching, and I think some cursing. He came out of the other end of his tunnel without the leash on, gave us the claw and walked away. So much for escape proof! We call him Sir Clawsalot but now we call him Houdini! So we had to return it as it was’t worth the aggravation.

I got these for my cats. They are so stinking cute. They actually help calm them down a lil bit.

I need to transport my 2 felines about 2 hours north of me to our new home. I decided that they would each have a car seat and then I needed harnesses. The 1st one that I bought I put on my very large one and flopped around like a fish. It scared me and that was it with that one. I then bought 2 of these and both of my cats are calmed by them (never thought that was possible!) and they wear them around for a while every day to get them used to the feeling. These are honestly wonderful, well made, super easy to put on them and great to have for 4th of July noises too.

It is everything we were looking for. We tried the over the head harness and kitty was not going to let us even try...but with this, it was soooo easy, it looks comfortable, she adjusted to it within seconds, loves wearing it to go outside and roll in the grass, and it's sooooo cute! It fit her a little big (size small), but with the velcro it's easy to adjust to size...and no escape issues, make sure you put it on snug! Can't wait to purchase more...we looooove it...thank you! Uodate: Since my last review, I have purchased the blue and white sailor harness in a size Large since our little kitty is almost fully grown to her adult size. The harness is adorable and she looks soooo cute in it, the velcro fir thus size is not as long, wide or strong as my first purchase of the small pink lace harness. This one does have a couple of snap closures around the neck and the belly and it helps keeping our kitty secure. It also came with a matching blue and white stripped leash that adds to the cutness. And once again,no escape issues! Thank you and yes, this is our go to place for our kitties harness shopping 😊

Easy to put on, cat adjusted to it pretty quickly

My cat likes this harness - I tried other harnesses where you attach the buckles around the front paws and my cat had a hard time walking properly. No issues with this one

Purrrrrfect really fits well, good service all round

I am delighted with this product. Its superior to any harnesses I have ever tried. I have had it for a while now and unbelievably my 5 month kitten has failed to escape from it to date. I have tried other harnesses and our other kitten was out of them very easily. This design is totally different and successful.
