My kitten currently weighs about 5.5 lbs &amp; is growing fast. My question is whether I should purchase the small or medium size?

I would go for the medium for the long term ; my cat weight is about 9lbs. and i use the large. The harness has sliding adjustments and if your cat is still growing a medium for sure. I am happy with mine, get her used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the outdoors.

On the Soft Claws website they have a size chart. Kitten fits those less than 6 months old, small 6-8 ibs, medium 9-13 ibs, large 14 ibs up.

I would go with the large. She will have lots of room to maneuver around. My cat is 17.8lbs and fits well in the carrier.

Medium. My cat is in the upper end of the size range for the small. I ordered her a small and it barely fastens closed. She has one that is bigger and it's much easier to put on. No sacrifice in snugness, either, thanks to the adjustability of the velcro closures.

I agree with v-kat that your kitty needs to be finished growing. I have both sizes, because I have 3 cats. The larger fits my 12.5 lb and 15.4 lb cats. The smaller fits my 7lb cat. It is important to note that the piece that goes around the neck is wide...about 3 inches for the large vs. 2 inches for the smaller. The Velcro gives you about 5 inches of play to adjust the size.

Make sure you get the right one. Do the one that is 10-20lbs. My cat is only around 7lbs and that's the one we got her for to walk around in. it's huge for her. though it's perfect enough for her to stand up in and walk around

I dont' have the large one. My cat is a normal size domestic cat but I have to adjust the medium size one to the maximum. If you think your cat will grow bigger/fatter, getting a large one would be better choice.

I have an average sized 10 lb cat, and I got her a size small. She fits just fine for a quick drive, but the small size might be a little too small for any long drives.

I got a small. It fit perfectly. My cat is about 10 pounds and no matter what she wasn't able to get it off. However I give her a lot of credit for trying.

Our cat only weights 8 pounds and we got medium claws for her and they were fine. I like for a 13 pound cat, medium would work just fine.

My 20 pound cat wears a large. I think the medium would be fine for a 12 pound cat. It is made of t-shirt fabric and is very stretchy.

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.

My kitten is a 7 month old Bengal and noe weighs 8 lbs. I got her a medium. If your kitten is still growing, a medium is probably what you are going to need.

My cat is 20lbs and used an X-small. I wouldn't go bigger then a small. It's velcro to allow you to adjust.

I got the small for my kitten when she was 3-4 months old. It fit her just fine and there is room for when she gets bigger. There is a drawstring that can be used to adjust the collar and she was still able to eat, drink and use the litter box. She's about 5 months now and we used it on her just recently when we got her spayed and still had no issues. The opening for the small is about 10-11 inches around and you can tighten it as much as you need to and the length of the collar is around 4 1/2in. Hopefully that helps! :)

I would purchase the medium, have two Maine Coon cats about the same size, but 20 lbs. It is a perfect fit. Hope this helps.
