I'm buying a "Kitty Holster" vest/harness to use with this, so I'd just like to know about the leash. Did you like the leash for your cat?

yes, it fits very good on her I don't walk her out side but I have it on when we go to the vet along with a carrier.

We did use the leash. Our cat is an escape artist, though, so the harness didn't stay on long. The leash was fine while we were able to use it. Good length, secure clasp.

Yes. I like the bungee aspect of the leash. It allows the cat to explore around. I would not recommend this leash for the vet's office though..too much recoil ;)

HaHaHa! So funny. When I leash up Mowgli, he lays down. Period. End of story. I suppose I could drag him around, remembering to turn him over so he doesn't lose all the fur on one side. I'm still working on it...the solution will probably involve food, probably tuna. The harness product is ok fine...cat psychology is the problem. Good luck.

my cat is 10.5 lbs. I think it would fit your cat. I used it for when I was flying. I have to take her out of the carrying case and this way she has a harness and leash, just in case.

I ordered the small for my cat and it was like the one on the dog. Wavy around the outside, padding near the neck line and adjustable velcro. Worked very well, my cat can move much better but she can't get at her eye. It did Crack along one of the velcro strips but it still works just fine and I'd probably blame that on my cat, not the product. It's pretty well made overall.

OH YES !!! The Velcro is Wide & very Strong. This Harness has been #1 with the "Animal Magazines" I have not heard a bad thing about them. Also check Jackson Galaxy " my cat from hell" program on animal planet.

I would say get a harness and a leash and see if she will go on her own when you stop. But if you are afraid of accidents I would get the small to extra small size depending on the size of the cat. =)

Betty, Yes it is a buckle. All of the harnesses I have tried use this type of buckle. I believe there is a harnessthat is cloth and may close with velcro. I believe they custom make them to fit your cat. It looks likea small coat almost. You will have to do a web search to find it.Cat Walker

The easy part depends on your cat's age. The younger the cat is when you get them in the harness, the better. Ease your cat SLOWLY into this new idea of being outside on a leash. Let your cat (even if you think he's too old to train!) just sit inside with the harness on for a few minutes. Then increase it by a few more minutes each day until he gets used to it. Then he won't freak out or refuse to move once you get him on the leash outside. Make sure you pet him a lot and re-assure him that everything's OK. Make it a pleasant experience from beginning to end, and eventually he will associate the harness/leash with good feelings. I hope this helps! The easy part depends on your cat's age.

I would think that the medium carrier would work for your cat. I use it for my 6 pound Chihuahua pup. She sits nice in it. There is a short leash that hooks on to her harness.

I think this leash is more for a cat. For dogs, I prefer a regular 6 foot leash...not the retractable kind, for more control when walking...I think it's a much safer option.

You can do both if you want. There is a hook there in the front of the vest that you can put a leash on or you can place a collar on them as well. I was never able to use mine since my dog is too large to fit the vest. Good luck to you!

The Kitty Holster medium size fits with a little room to spare around neck. The cat is about 12 lbs.You should note that my experience with these harnesses taught me to place another regular harness on the cat - and make sure that both metal loops are connected to the leash - that holds the cat very well - no slipping out possible for some 3 years. Note that we put the cats on long leash near our back yard and check on them frequently for getting tangled or in trouble with alien animal yard invasions. Therefore our two house cats wear the harnesses full time - and don't mind them at all - - knowing that once the leash is hooked up they can enjoy some yard freedom.

My cat is average size and the collar has Velcro so you can adjust it to fit your dog. Nevertheless I couldn't make it small enough so Shadow didn't wind up wearing it around his waist.

I bought a Large for our 1-yr-old male cat. It was a little big for him at first, but he's now grown into it. I can tell you that this is the only harness that he hasn't been able to slip out of, and we think it's great. Easy on and off.

Our cat weighs 20 lbs. I want to exercise him; what size harness would you advise?

The kitty holster website does have one based on neck and chest measurements I think, I think links get edited out- but if you just search for kitty holster you should find it- but I do not believe its on amazon unfortunately

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)
