My cat weighs 9.5lbs and girth is exactly 14 in. Should I get a Medium or Large?

I think medium because my cat is approx. 6-7lbs and I used a size small for her.
382324
I bought large and my baby MaXx escapes. I'm going to try medium. And my MaXx is big.

I'm no expert but it sounds like you should purchase a medium harness. Good luck hope I helped.

At that weight a medium would do, but with the girth you mentioned a large is the best choice. My 9ish pound Maine Coon I just measured him he was 14 inches girth too (hair LOL) - and the medium was a little tight on him, I actually put it on him. I would go with the large. But I use the harness on many cats at our shelter and the medium will fit some cats up to 13 pounds, so girth is a big factor.

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

Large, based on the girth. The medium was a little tight and uncomfortable for my cats; I have two ragdolls. The large was easier to fit snugly without being too binding.

Medium. I have one of these in every size. Medium fits almost all cats. Small is for cats under 7lbs, and youd need a bengal to use a large.

I would probably go for a large. The medium just fits our large cat but I'm thinking of upsizing her to a large as it's very tight.

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.

It depends on the size of your cat. Weigh yourself then pick up your cat and subtract your weight from the total number. You will get your cats weight. then look at the package of the soft paws medium is 9-13 pounds and large is beyond that. My cat is 18 or 19 pounds so i get the large ones. He has been wearing them for 4 years. No problem. I hope that helps.

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

I think they must run a little small. I bought a small for my 6-1/2 pound cat and needed to return. Ended up with a medium.

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!

The large is just right for my 14 pound cat - can stretch out and turn and stand up - head hits the top but it's soft so -- I'm thinking yes if your shitzu isn't planning to run around in it

I just bought the large for my Maine Coon and Persian cats. I think you willl be happy with the large.

I first ordered the large for my 6 month old kitty and it was too large, so I ordered the medium and it was perfect. I kept the larger one because as he grows I know we will need it. I would say the large would fit up to a 22 lb. cat, but I would order a larger one for a 30 lb. cat. Be sure and secure it firmly and keep the leash in the direction towards the tail so kitty can't back out if it. Once our kitty wore it a time or two he got use to it and did not try to back out. We walk him every day for about 20-40 minutes (depending on the weather) and he loves it! He has so much fun exploring he wears himself out and sleeps a lot the rest of the day.

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.

I agree with v-kat that your kitty needs to be finished growing. I have both sizes, because I have 3 cats. The larger fits my 12.5 lb and 15.4 lb cats. The smaller fits my 7lb cat. It is important to note that the piece that goes around the neck is wide...about 3 inches for the large vs. 2 inches for the smaller. The Velcro gives you about 5 inches of play to adjust the size.

I have a 13 pound Bichon, and the medium fits her nicely. I have never had a cat, so it is hard for me to compare the two. It is really an adorable harness. Barbara

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.

Hi, I got large for my cat. He is around 11 pounds. It was perfect. I wouldn't grt any smaller. I drove from arizona to virgina with him in it and he loved it.

my cat is 14.8" and it fits her just fine... hope it helps. she is only 5 years though, so probably thinner.

We have a 14 lb corgi and the large fits her fine. Had to send a medium back. Works great too, BTW.
