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!

Unless your cat is obese, the medium can be adjusted to fit most cats. I think if u have a size too large, it will be too easy for your cat to get out of it.

I measured my 3 year old Ragdoll and she is 17 inches, when measuring under front legs around torso. She is 14.5 lbs. Still not sure to buy med or large.

Check out the right up on it! It says a large is for a 50-69 lb. with a girth of 20" to 35". If the girth is in that range, it should work for you. Hope this helps!

I would definitely get two..medium ones anyway. That's what I have. I don't know what the measurements are for the large.

I would go with a large. I have a cat about that size, and the medium was too small.

I'd go with a medium. Remember you'll be layering clothes underneath, and you want to be able to move freely.

I would get a large. I got a medium and I am 5'4'' and 130 lbs. It is a tight fit, but you need a tight fit for safety. I originally got a large and it was a little big.

I'd go with the medium. If I lose a few pounds over the summer, the large will be too big for me. Incidentally, I have practically lived in these since I boght them. Love them. Practical, comfortable and durable. Definitely going to get another pair soon

Get the medium...I have the medium and the large. The medium is a better fit.

I would recommend a large. The medium would probably work until you got closer your goal.

I am 5'7", 163 lbs, and the medium fits me perfectly. The large would likely be too big for you.

I had the same problem with my dog and I went with the medium. No problems so far and the straps are generous so if you're an inch off either way it wouldn't be a big deal.

I'm 6-1 and 175 lb and the large fits well. Based on his hgt I'd suspect the medium would fit better.

I bought the large for my 70 pound Catahoula...you should go with the medium.

I would go with large because of your shoulders. But maybe try a medium first if you really concerned

I would say a medium would be fine. Large was big enough for my Mastiff. The Extra Large could fit a small horse! LOL!

I would definitely go with medium. These are very tight. I was barely in the large range and there would be no way to get into the smaller ones for me.
