I've got an adult cat who used to be outdoors, and I'm harness training him just so he can go outside as he still seems interested. So if your 3 year old Persian is interested in going outside and seems to be able to learn commands, I'd say there's a decent chance; things are going better with me & the adult kitty than it did with any kittens I tried this on!

My cat walks on it (yes, she has claws, but they're clipped) and it doesn't seem to be a problem at least in the 3 weeks I've used it. Mostly she slides on it, so she really prefers to find another way around. I did have some concerns, but so far so good.

Well, it's tough but I was lucky that my older dog showed the puppy what to do and I reinforced it when the younger one goofed by taken her and sitting her on it right after her mistake and scolding her (no nose rubbing please). Also rewarding her w/treat when she went on pad so now she never makes a mistake and come right to me to let me know it's treat time! LOL yes, the vet says she needs to lose some weight but she's happy and so am I no more rug mishaps. Good luck!!

No I don't - probably should look into it. Our cat shares with the pup - they're the same size!

not sure, maybe the smaller version.It might be hard to train your cat too.

Dusty,I started out with the small size when my kitten was three or four months old. She did grow, and I ended up purchasing the medium only because I wanted to make sure that the harness fit properly.Good luck. I love walking our now ten month old kitten.

I have noticed a reaction with my cat as well. I've only had it for a few hours, but right now the little yappy dog next door doesn't seem to mind it. Only time will tell...

My 10 pound dog can wiggle her way out of it. I think your cat is probably more agile than my chihuahua :) Your cat may be able to squeeze out of it. Maybe a small would fit more snugly than the medium. Other than that its a really good quality harness and if properly fit its safe and seems comfortable for the pet.

Although he's pretty good at adjusting his speed, our 75# boxer can haul like an 18 wheeler if he sees a squirrel, rabbit or deer! I know I wouldn't be able to control him w/o this harness which places the pressure on his chest instead of his neck ( which is all muscle). It's really the best harness we have ( and I have several) .i would certainly recommend you try it. It won't change his habit of pulling w/o training but it should give you more control.

My 5 week old kitten just learned how to climb up to the top of the pen today. I don't know what she would have done from there because I lifted her off, but she was balanced on the top and probably would have tumbled off on one side or the other. I'm going to try to figure out some sort of cover.

Agreed - he can't pull forward and rip out, but he is a mellow guy. If he were to have a typical cat spaz attack, I could see that, if he were facing me, he could squirm out. That is a cat thing - they can get out of a straightjacket if they are scared enough. This is the most secure thing short of a barred cage, and is better than a nylon harness

Since I don't have a persian cat I can't recommend what would be the best trimmer ....The Wahl 9284 works well for my 2 small havanese. ...knowing how to groom is key and I am not at all an expert but with some practice and patients I managed to do ok.....if your persian is very matted you will need to use the groomer without any attachments and slowly trim down it is a process. ...I think you would be pleased with the wahl 9284.....good luck!!!

Unless you have an itty-bitty kitty (7lbs and under), you will do fine with the medium/large. My cat Bhodi is about 12 to 14lbs, and the medium/large works great. There is lots of adjustable room with the velcro straps at the neck and the belly, so you should be fine. Be prepared for your cat not loving the harness at first (Bhodi just flopped over and would only walk backwards at first!) Good luck!

Our older cat is thirteen years old and he had no problem adapting to the new top-entry box. Our younger kitten also had no problems. We had to get two litter boxes (one per cat) and it seems to be working out well. The dog has stopped raiding the litter box for snacks. All is good...

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.

It depends, you may have to wait until your puppy gets older, especially if he/she is hyper. My rabbits react to the clicking and do the tricks I ask for based on knowing they will get a treat, which is the key. Best of luck.

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.
