How is cat size determined? What are the critieria for small, medium, or large cats?

Hi Robert,My Georgie has a M/L, I think. You measure around her tummy, just behind the front legs & get the closest size. The holster is adjustable. We love the product - had one for my previous cat,Tasha, who was a small 5lb. Korat - it worked well for her too. Good Luck!Bobbe

I measured around the neck and middle of my cat with a tape measure used to measure clothing to determine the correct size.

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.

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

I first bought a small for my 7 pound female cat. It did not fit around her chest. Make sure you measure the chest and go by that size. The medium fit her perfectly.

The small/medium fit my 12 pound cat just fine. However any smart cat can escape from them. Once the lead is taunt, they can manipulate their shoulders to slip out. It took my cat 20 minutes. Cats will eventually rule the earth.

The sizes go according to girth(chest) size and it tells you in the description of the product what each size fits.My cat used his a few times at first he was a bit scared of it but after about 5 minutes he forgot it was there.

I bought a medium thinking it would fit any 4 of my cats but now I wish I would have bought the large. It is VERY snug on my 10 and 13 lb. cats so I would suggest a large.

for kittens get small, with any age over one year of age, usually medium is just fine, it covers but does not go beyond the nail bed. If you have a linx or mountain lion build then large. My suggestion, over one year, try mediums first.

Depends on the size of the cat. Turns out the small was too small for my 10 pounder.

Good question. I believe "medium" to mean average size. My cat is 20 plus pounds, so I at first ordered "large". But they were too long, and did not stay on the nails long at all. With the medium size, there is a snug fit with just the right amount of space for the glue to hold them on for 4 to 6 weeks. The soft paws fall off on their own over time, so you will have to check kitty every few days and glue new ones on as the weeks roll on and as kittys nails grow out. I found that an untrimmed nail is best for applying new soft paws nail covers.

The one I have is a size 2 , I tryed it on my 10.5 # cat! fit just fine! he wasn't thrilled.

I think there were measurements to take to determine the size either at the Amazon full website listing or at the company's website. We have big-boned, extra fluffy, 10 lb. kitty, and the "medium large" fits her well.

The Kitty Holster medium size fits with a little room to spare around neck. The cat is about 12 lbs.You should note that my experience with these harnesses taught me to place another regular harness on the cat - and make sure that both metal loops are connected to the leash - that holds the cat very well - no slipping out possible for some 3 years. Note that we put the cats on long leash near our back yard and check on them frequently for getting tangled or in trouble with alien animal yard invasions. Therefore our two house cats wear the harnesses full time - and don't mind them at all - - knowing that once the leash is hooked up they can enjoy some yard freedom.

Depends how fat your cat is! It measures 16 length x 12 width x 12 height (inches). My cats are both medium sized and around 10lbs and they easily fit with room to spare. Both can fit at the same time but that's a tight fit.
