my big cat has a 17 barrel...on a horse it is called a heart girth...measured around him right behind the front legs. Will the medium large work?

If I measured correctly, my Chelsea is 13 1/2. I purchased Size S/M for her and it is way too big. When I first purchased it she didn't like it and kept taking it off and always backed out of it ( slid backwards to get it off). I plan to try it again some other time but for now,I just let her play with it or lay on it. I would recommend that you purchase a Size smaller than M/L but you should be able to exchange it if it doesn't fit properly.

We ordered according to the measurement listed and it was too big. We ended up ordering the next size down. Harnesses are amazing- but the sizing listed we found to not be good guide for proper fit

I would probably go for a large. The medium just fits our large cat but I'm thinking of upsizing her to a large as it's very tight.

We ordered the small/medium and it is plenty large enough for our cat - he measures 15.5 in the same area. We love the harnesses- cats walk daily wearing them. They don't try to escape from these like they did the strap type of harness.

The Kitty Holster website states that a M/L fits a "16-20 inch" girth. I bought my cat a S/M which is suppose to fit 13" to 17" but on him, it laps over and fits at about 15.5". However, it seems a bit big through the shoulders for my cat and he is a svelte cat. The key to buying one is to not have it too snug but if it is too loose, the cat can slip out. So, to answer your question, a M/L would work on a 17" girth. It might be a little big but the velcro closures are large and allow for adjustments.

My cat weighs 13 lbs and I got him the medium/large. It fits him fine but there is room to spare. I would get the next size down for your cat. The harness has adjustable Velcro so you should be fine.

I bought a large for my 12-pound cat and it works fine. I have to wrap it pretty tightly.

My cat weighs 10 lbs. and needed a large set at the smallest setting. On the box, it says that the small size will accommodate 9-11 inches in girth, and medium will accommodate 10.5-14 inches in girth. If I were you, I'd measure your cat and go from there. Good luck!

yes medium. But it sort of depends on breed and gender. my male is 16 pounds and 3, he fits into a large and a medium smothers him. my tabby girl is so tiny, shes about 6-8 pounds? and shes a medium. so...

Yes, I double checked with our product manager, she said waist girth is the important measurement for these panties. Large size should be the best fit for your pet. However in the case that the apparel doesn't fit, we have a 30-day refund policy just like Amazon. Cheers!

I bought the medium and my pit bull is small with a 25" girth. I have extra strap hanging off. You should be (at most) fine with what I have left hanging.

I got the s/m when my cat was around that size, though he did grow out of it relatively quickly (young maine coon) if you go to the makers website they have neck and chest measurements that will help you too! there is some play as its velcro and there is a built in level of adjustment. hope that helps some

I really can't answer that question. I have two cats---one is rather large and they both fit. Wish I could be or more help.

I bought the Med/Lg for my big Ragdoll cat. I think they come in Extra Small. I would check the manufacturer's website, and check their recommendation. They are size generously, since my cat is a big boy and the M/L fits just fine. You can measure for a good fit. FYI- my cat loves his Kitty Holster.

I'm pretty sure I have the medium size for a 12" cat, so I would think maybe a large might be better. It's been awhile so I forget the sizes. But, I can tell you it is made well, much better than I have seen in pet stores for the money.

Medium would probably be fine. My one cat is a Bengal that is about 14 lbs. and my other cat is smaller but 15 lbs--I use medium for both.

It will probably be too snug. The velcro does have a span to widen out. My cat went from 8 pounds to 14 and it doesn't fit anymore.

I have a small cat but it can accommodate a medium size one as well. If you have a feline that is larger it wouldn't be a tight fit. I had hoped to see a larger and deeper model sold but no luck yet.

My cat is appx. 10 pounds, I got the large so he'd be comfortable but it works good for his size. I think the regular may have been too small.

My cat is about 8.5 pounds with long but fine fur, and the small/medium fits her perfectly. That would probably work best for yours as well! There is also a sizing guide on the manufacturer's website: http://www.kittyholster.com/FAQs.html

Hi, I am purchasing two of these in Large for my 3+ year old tabby-brothers, as they grew out of their Mediums that I purchased for them as kittens. My boys are by no means obese or really even "extra large" cats...one weighs 11 1/2 lbs and is just a stockier guy than his brother who weighs 9 lbs. The smaller of the 2 is quite slim and lightly built (Abyssinian-esqe) (the Vet always says: and how is 'she' :-)...I adjusted the Medium out as far as possible and he wanted to wriggle out of it because it was very tight. The Medium girth on his brother was a couple of inches from even being fasten-able! Not to ruffle any feathers, but Large may be more realistic for the "average" adult cat from my experience. I agree that an oversized harness would be unsafe, so you may want to order a Small and a Medium to try on a young cat/kitten. These are, BTW, a steal for the price and made very well - and are better at keeping the cat in the harness than the 2 strap models without this one's clever design! Just be careful at first until you are sure that your cat is comfortable wearing a harness/being on a leash/being outdoors and keep it snug. Have fun!
