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!

Yes, if the cat wasn't opposed to wearing it, as it will stay on because of the velcro. My cat has some issues with the nerves in her one of her hind legs, so she hisses at me when I want to put it on and then when I do, she either has some issues walking or she gets out of it.

Ha! Mine too, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer this question (I gave up after one try). I may try again this spring, when the weather is better and they aren't so little. Heads up, the leash isn't super long either, so keep that in mind... depending on what your goal is there. And here is a link to leash-training tips from ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/cat-behavior/teaching-your-cat-walk-leash Hope this helps!

Hi Stacy. Any updates on your little guy with this potty? My cat is the same way, and I'm thinking about getting one of the grass potty for her.

Your kitty should totally enjoy being able to jump between the levels with no problem. At least you won't have to deal with the sisal rope coming off since he won't be clawing it. If he needs an incentive to get to the higher levels, try putting some catnip in the carpet.

I bought mine for my 3 year old cat that I adopted, she uses it but I had to teach her, I just laid treats in random places leading up to the top to show her its for her.

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

As long as your cat is at least 10 pounds, it'll be fine. My cat weighs 12 lbs, and it works great on him. The collar was gigantic, but you can make it fit and cut off the excess. He wears this thing for 2 weeks at a time and only gets it taken off for bathtime, and it doesn't bother him at all. I'm not exactly sure why you aren't supposed to leave it on them for more than 16 hours I think it is- maybe so it doesn't rub a raw spot or cause a callus to develop, but it hasn't done anything to him. The shock is so mild that all it makes him do is hunker down for a second then he runs away. He doesn't cry or hiss or anything; his little ears just go back and you can tell he doesn't like it. I tested it on myself before I put it on the cat, and it feels a lot like putting a 9 volt battery on your tongue (if you've ever done that). I hope that helps!

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.

We were disappointed in the short time of movement of this cat but it did help a bit when we remembered to move the switch from demo to "on." TheFur Real Dog is much more active and entertaining for children in my opinion (even though I am a cat lover). Hope this helps.

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

Greetings Kaye-My persian, Rusty Wallace was not using his box, and he is indeed declawed-He os now with 100%success using his litterbox. My question to you though, is, how long has it been since your former feral friend was declawed- sometimes it can take a while for them to adjust- and litter may aggravated the digits- try Cat Attract ( also available on Amazon) with shredded newspaper- or shredded paper towel- that will be softer on the toes.Good luck!

I have adult Persian cat and it is fine for him.it is pretty stable construction and should have no problem with 10 pound cat.

Sorry to hear . I know it's heart breaking. I lost my 10 year cat a year ago.I had been using the collar with the kitten for about 9 months now. She never had a negative response.From my experience it actually helped.Again sorry for your loss

I used to clip my two cats during the summer months and I believe I used this clipper; its much quieter than the first clipper I purchased which was an Oster but that was many years ago. I started clipping a Persian I owned many years ago, and have clipped two more sets of cats since then. In my experience their cooperation depends on how much they trust you. Maybe because I had to wash and dip them once a month back then they more easily cooperated with the clipping process?? when you clip them go with the hair growth or it will be very very short. It may not come out very even though. You can also use a comb attachment and clip against the hair growth, but they will really not like that. I would wrap the top paws and head in a towel and lie him on his back to clip his stomach. worked really well. Good luck!!

I bought it for my chihuahua who is 2.50kilos havn't used it a lot the small is still a bit big for him and very stiff. I have been told harnesses can be a hazzard for older people due to possible injury. Hopefully will fit as he grows but I don't think so as he is only going to get to about 3kilos. Sorry not much help to you.
