I've got an adult cat who used to be outdoors, and I'm harness training him just so he can go outside as he still seems interested. So if your 3 year old Persian is interested in going outside and seems to be able to learn commands, I'd say there's a decent chance; things are going better with me & the adult kitty than it did with any kittens I tried this on!

I bought it for my chihuahua who is 2.50kilos havn't used it a lot the small is still a bit big for him and very stiff. I have been told harnesses can be a hazzard for older people due to possible injury. Hopefully will fit as he grows but I don't think so as he is only going to get to about 3kilos. Sorry not much help to you.

I have a Persian so I can't really answer you. The collar did NOT work on her. I did try it on my friend's short haired cat and it worked well. I have a different (more powerful) one for my dog and it works wonderfully and he wears it 24/7.

My cat did not try to escape from the holster. I think she (more or less) felt secure in it. One thing if you have a rather long haired cat the velcro closure may snag the cats belly hair. Hopefully they will redesign the holster where it attaches on top rather than underneath.

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.

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 know this post is very old but I would like to know more about your cat's situation. How many vets have seen him/ and so on. The thing I want to comment on for now is how you started the post, "the little feline friend who rescued me almost 2 years ago". I have always felt the same way about my little companions. Please if you are still around, give me an update.Thanks

Absolutely not. I opened mine and aired it for a day just because I do that with all items I use for my kitties. I used this for mynational winning Persian and I would only get the best for her. With all the "kennels" such as the well advertised brands that are out there forseveral hundred $$$$ this one has everybody beat on all levels. Easy to set up and knock down and move about. I give advice oncat care world wide for a major association and this is what I chose and I know all products out there. And it has the most usable space. Hope this helps.

I used to clip my two cats during the summer months and I believe I used this clipper; its much quieter than the first clipper I purchased which was an Oster but that was many years ago. I started clipping a Persian I owned many years ago, and have clipped two more sets of cats since then. In my experience their cooperation depends on how much they trust you. Maybe because I had to wash and dip them once a month back then they more easily cooperated with the clipping process?? when you clip them go with the hair growth or it will be very very short. It may not come out very even though. You can also use a comb attachment and clip against the hair growth, but they will really not like that. I would wrap the top paws and head in a towel and lie him on his back to clip his stomach. worked really well. Good luck!!

Greetings Kaye-My persian, Rusty Wallace was not using his box, and he is indeed declawed-He os now with 100%success using his litterbox. My question to you though, is, how long has it been since your former feral friend was declawed- sometimes it can take a while for them to adjust- and litter may aggravated the digits- try Cat Attract ( also available on Amazon) with shredded newspaper- or shredded paper towel- that will be softer on the toes.Good luck!

Depends on cat's druthers. Do what you think would work and see if kitty approves. Sounds like a good idea. You wouldn't believe the never-ending things I do trying to make my cat comfortable.

Hi Wendy This was literally a tail saver for my little anxious cat. She has no trouble. I do get that reaction on one of my cats with Frontline Plus but only in the summer. Maybe you can attach it to a soft fabric collar so it doesn't actually touch her skin...just a thought. Good luck with your little kitty.

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.

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.

Yes, I bought mine for my cats. I have Persian cats though so they tend to be a bit calmer and not as jumpy as other cats. But it works for me!

We were disappointed in the short time of movement of this cat but it did help a bit when we remembered to move the switch from demo to "on." TheFur Real Dog is much more active and entertaining for children in my opinion (even though I am a cat lover). Hope this helps.

I found that the cat(s) experience is so disturbing, they avoid the area it was on. You may initially need to re-train by putting it back on now & then...but not often.
