Amazon only has S M L XL and according to the kitty holster site, my cat is a S/M. Which one should I buy? Neck 10" and Girth 15"

I would go with the medium, the neck closure is pretty forgiving and you don't want it too snug. Remember to keep slack in the leash because even though this is a great set up the inner "Houdini" in your cat will come out, as can they, right out of the harness.

If they're a S/M then it would probably be best to go with an M. You don't want the harness to fit too tightly or the cat won't be able to move properly or have ease of breathing.

Hi, LeeI have a tiny singapura and I think we got the small, so I would go with a medium. The Velcro can be adjusted smaller but not larger...

My cat is 10lbs. and she "wears" S/M, which fits her well. The holster is quite adjustable as it has two big velcro strips. But I don't know if it would fit 14lbs.

My cat weighs 13 lbs. I got the s/m. I don't really like it because around the neck the strap is to wide.

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.

the kittyholster.com website goes by measurement rather than weight. They have a chart with inch measurements for around your cat's neck and around your cat's chest.

I accidentally bought large and my cat should have had a medium but you can tighten up the straps to fit. The large would fit a big Tom cat with no problem.

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!

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.

I used guidelines on the Kitty Holster web site (kittyholster.com). It gives recommended sizes based on neck and girth measurements. For example, S/M for neck 9-12", girth 13-17"; M/L for neck 10-13", girth 16-20"

Go with the large. It's 19" long, 9-1/2" wide and 13" high if that will be large enough. I got mine because my cat breed is large & will be close to 20# when full grown. Will be cozy, none too big.

I have a 13-ish lb cat who is very long. I got what was then called S/M, which Amazon is now telling me is called M, and it fits just right.

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

You need to measure the cat....neck and chest. There is a chart at kittyholster.com to select the size once you have those measurements. It depends more on your cat's body type than weight. I went with the smaller of the 2 sizes that might have worked by the measurements, and had plenty of room.

If it is a cat or dog you must measure the 'NECK' snugly and call or write to the company and they will gladly tell youthe size to get. They are very prompt in answering you. I did it and received the size for my cat.

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

The sizing is located on their website http://www.kittyholster.com/ and here is a video about how to measure your cat http://youtu.be/jMal9biHtU8

You didn't specify the possible breed, because some breeds grow to larger sizes while other breeds remain close to "kitten size". Although kitties grow in girth, especially around the tummy area, few end up with "football player" neck size of which a collar would not fit. This collar has an adjustable Velcro strip which can be adjusted for a comfortable, but snug fit, around a kitty's neck. Even if your kitty did have a "football player" neck, all you would have to do is to purchase an additional Velcro strip (available at pharmacies everywhere), cut it to the correct size needed, and apply it next to the strip which is already there. Although I do have Velcro strips around the house (for varous household uses), I have yet to add a strip tothis collar. I hope the above input is of help to you. :)
