I bought the small size (largest of the two available) and the diameter is about 4 inches fully opened when left unstretched in a fully circular shape. That would put the circumferrence close to a maximum of around twelve inches or so. I was confused on which size to get and finally decided too big was better than too small. My kitten was ten months old and it fit her very well with a bit of leftover room. You can cinch the small size down to a diameter of about two and half inches by pulling the strings as tight as they get. As long as your pet's neck is more than two and a half inches in diameter and less than four inches, the small size should be ideal.

The blue part - which is the green part in the photo - is about 10.5 inches in diameter. The black part is a bit smaller and you can use the string to adjust tightness. They fit my 10 pound female cat just fine.

This is a good product and will fit any cats neck believe me.keep in mind that it won't last too long as the cat may scratch at it with it's hind legs and the cloth wears down over a few weeks like mine did.It seems comfortable as it is cloth and it is not so big and sight and freedom for cat is good.

I have a small for my cat and I just tried it on our yorkie and it was too big, one swipe from his paw and it was off, however I did not loop his collar thru it, but it did appear to big in general.

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.

The entire collar is 14 inches. There is approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches between the "buckle" and the ring to hold the excess. My cat is a tom weighing 15 lbs and there is plenty of room left on his collar. It works great!

This size might be too big. I'd check if they have a smaller version for cats.

The best thing to do is to measure your cats neck size. The collar does fit my 6month old chihuahua & I measured her neck to decide which collar size to purchase.

Hi, i saw your question and though i dont have a small dog, one of my cats is barely 7 lbs. He fits in the large one well and i like him to be able to turn around and be comfortable. The small one seems very small. And the large is not huge by any means. Personally i prefer abit larger than too small. If i had a big cat,say 12 to 15 lbs , the large would not be big enough.Hope this helps. I would get the larger one especially if you dont want to buy another one later. Jan

Measure your cat around the chest. Our Mr.Chunk is 18". That is a size large for this brand.

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.

If you look at the company web site, kitty holster.com, you'll see the sizing is based on neck size and girth, rather than weight. Our cat weighs about the same (14 lbs.), and we got the S/M, which seems to fit him fine.

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 don't remember how they were sized. I got two "large" and two "extra-large" pans and prefer the larger of the two sizes. Check as to how they are sized and go with the larger one if space permits. Since you have 2 cats, would highly recommend 2 or preferably 3 pans to avoid "issues". If space is the problem, 3 smaller pans would be preferable to 2 larger pans. (I'm a veterinarian for felines and deal with this every day).

I just looked at a photo, if your cat is overweight probably not, they are huge! I have never seen one before! Like I said mainly because it's 6 feet tall.

The small fit my cat and she is 11 lbs. But there was quite a few holes to make it smaller. I would just measure you dogs neck before you purchase.

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 have a kitten who is now seven months. He fits very well with lots of space to spare, all curled up. But he is a Devon Rex so he is probably smaller than the average cat. I don't think he's more than seven and a half pounds. The actual dimension is roughly 13 inches round.
