I'm buying a "Kitty Holster" vest/harness to use with this, so I'd just like to know about the leash. Did you like the leash for your cat?

I think it works great. It gives more flexibility which is a good thing for my cat who's not a big fan of being on a leash.

took cat a while to adjust, the best solution was the cat tent bought on amazon. next time in car with cat shall use the kitty holster

We are happy with the leash. It has some "give" to it so it can expand by about 1/3 its length. This allows the cat some degree of freedom w/o going too far. Our guy is quite old, so he is content to walk along with us w/o much pull. A younger cat might want to run about, in which case I think the flex would be an advantage, as she could stray a bit before coming to the end.

Once the harness is on, i have had no issues with either of my cats. Large maine coon and a small torty. The velco holding the middle area is wide and doesnt come off easy unless you want it off. I have had to pull my cat back by the leash a couple times and have had no issues. I love these harnesses and do not regret the purchase. My cats love the walks.

I have purchased holsters for two cats - one S/M & one M/ L. They both were a good fit for my cats.

I purchased S/M but did not use it; my long hair cat wouldn't tolerate the very strong velcro closing which caught a lot of hair as we closed velcro straps, then when removing it, the force needed to actually pull the straps apart made it very difficult to comfortably remove. We purchased the standard harness; no problem.

Sweet looking Kitty! We found it worked for our Calico, but it maxed out at about 18" without becoming TOO tight, soI would say the answer is NO. This item is described as "medium" and I imagine the same company makes one in large.Check it out. The bungee lease is cool!

never used it, cat got out of it, the pads weren't made for the harness, they simply were feminine pads cut in half. also delivery of this product took weeks and weeks to get. apparently it is made after the order s received. they don't stock them.

The easy part depends on your cat's age. The younger the cat is when you get them in the harness, the better. Ease your cat SLOWLY into this new idea of being outside on a leash. Let your cat (even if you think he's too old to train!) just sit inside with the harness on for a few minutes. Then increase it by a few more minutes each day until he gets used to it. Then he won't freak out or refuse to move once you get him on the leash outside. Make sure you pet him a lot and re-assure him that everything's OK. Make it a pleasant experience from beginning to end, and eventually he will associate the harness/leash with good feelings. I hope this helps! The easy part depends on your cat's age.

I think this leash is more for a cat. For dogs, I prefer a regular 6 foot leash...not the retractable kind, for more control when walking...I think it's a much safer option.

If you have a medium to long haired cat it may be a challenge. It pulls the belly hairs if you're not careful. I wish the holster fastened on top (back) of the kitty but you have to attach it underneath the belly. Once in place the holster is very secure.

I would not recommend using this for a cat. You would be better off purchasing a $35.00 pet stroller from Amazon. It would be much more secure and I am certain the cat would prefer the stroller to the dog carrier backpack. I have purchased one of the $35.00 strollers and it works great.

If you go to youtube and search for kitty holster cat harness you should be able to find a video that shows how to measure your cat to find the right size.

I'm not sure that this company sells just the leash... However, what I did was get a metal clip and use one of the leashes I already had. Sorry if it isn't much help. But it works! :)

My 10 pound dog can wiggle her way out of it. I think your cat is probably more agile than my chihuahua :) Your cat may be able to squeeze out of it. Maybe a small would fit more snugly than the medium. Other than that its a really good quality harness and if properly fit its safe and seems comfortable for the pet.

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.

I got a small for my 10 lb cat. It took him a little while to get used to it as it does constrain his movements quite a bit. But it is much more secure than the standard harness without a doubt. You can tighten the neck quite a bit. Do not get the leash. It is too heavy.

It's best to measure, this is a mighty secure vest and I have Terra who is like a water weenie with her squirming and she has yet to wiggle out of it.The Kitty Holster is the most secure.

The velcro is very wide and secure. My cat weighs about 10 pounds and there's no way he can wiggle out of it. That being said, I still haven't taken him for a walk outside because he becomes very docile when he has it on and he just lies down.
