rabbitgoo Cat Harness and Leash for Walking, Escape Proof Soft Adjustable Vest Harnesses for Cats, Easy Control Breathable Reflective Strips Jacket, Black, XS

I bought this harness back in 2021 for my cat that is about 14 pounds now in XS.This harness is so easy to put on, made training him to sit or stand still super easy. Even taking the harness off, he helps me remove it in his kitty cat way but never tugging.It's soft, and after he got used to wearing it he'll roll around in the sun, walking is easy, also pulling him back when he goes where he's not supposed to is easy. He has never been able to wiggle out. At least I've never had him wiggle out. He has jumped about 4 ft in we air after the neighbor cat 🙀 he's also gotten spooked but instead of trying to get loose he ran towards our front door.So I highly recommend these harnesses for real.I'm actually back to buy another color and smaller size (he seems to have lost weight in his girth. :)

The quality is great but this is not for cats younger than 4 months even with the smallest size. My kitten is just 3 months old and xxs is still too big. We still put it on him for about 10 minutes a day to help him get used to it for when he does grow into it. I bought the wrong size (xs) the first time and just reordered the smaller size(xxs). I kept both because eventually I am going to need it...I hope lol when he has grown into it and if Amazon allows it I will update this post.

If you have a medium or long haired cat, you should know… this harness keeps severely matting my medium haired kitty. Love the harness otherwise and it’s probably great for short haired cats. But I’ve had it for a few months and have to bring my little guy to the vet 4 times already to have huge mats under his armpits shaved out, which he hates. And that’s with thoroughly brushing him almost daily and intentionally after each time he wears the harness. Doesn’t matter though because the mats form while we’re on our walks and it’s too late. It’s a bummer but I’ve finally realized this isn’t going to work for him.

The cat was okay with it very quickly, even though in the photo she does not look like she's happy (after 30 minutes she was actually looking smug like, "I'm pretty cool looking with this thing!"), she is definitely okay with it. She rolled around a few times and walked slowly at first, but seemed okay with it well within 10 or 15 minutes. I've put it on her a few times since, just to see if it was a fluke. I praised her a lot and gave her treats - if she will eat treats, she is okay with what is going on. Some complain about their cats slipping out, but I believe it is either sized wrong or left too loose. Like a horse saddle, it has to be tight - not just down on the fur/hair - but must be loose enough so as not to restrict breathing or circulation. Make sure you make the fit tight enough so they cannot slip out and test it a lot indoors before going outside. (Definitely not like a dog that takes about 30 seconds to leash train! I have had dogs slip out of their collars that were too loose too, but at least you can usually get them back quickly. Cats are much more resistant to leashes and harnesses and can be impossible to get back.) It is A BIT CONFUSING on ordering because the sizes are "XS" and "S" and our brains think, "EXTRA SMALL" and "SMALL" but once I really measured the cat found my full grown cat was an "XS" size but would think maybe a KITTEN would be XS so my tendency would be to buy... "S"... maybe… if I did not measure her? When I first looked at these, I guessed at my cat's size and ASSUMED she was a S[mall] and could no way be and XS[mall]. I do not believe the S and XS mean SMALL and EXTRA SMALL even though XS is smaller than S. It would be better if the size was a different designation, forcing you to measure your cat so you purchase the correct size. I purchased a cloth tape at a hobby store and measured her with that. I bought the harness for emergencies (so I do not know how they would work / holdup with daily use) - my cat is an "indoor cat" but when she freaks out (like when the lawn mower is running around in the yard) she can be difficult to console or get calmed down; she will not take treats in moments like that. I reason in an actual emergency where I have to leave the house (fire, flood, tornado, etc.) it would be impossible to control her and she would potentially be lost forever. I have a travel "condo" with litter box for the back seat (Amazon) which is also for emergencies and the harness will be required to have any hope of safely getting her from the house to the car “travel condo” and to get her out without getting away at a new destination – just have to make sure you have good control of the leash. I put the harness on her once in a while to make sure she's still okay with it and she slips her head right in now, like it is a game. She patiently waits for me to snap in the two clips, too... with lots of praise and followed with treats. Very quickly delivered and a good price. Hope this helps.

I purchased an xs for my cat and although I was able to get it fitted properly, it was very difficult to do. Also, I didn't know it did not have a snap at the neck so had to be pulled ion over his face which left it looser there than it should be. I also found the snaps and buckles were on the large size for a small cat making the harness bulky and awkward. Don't know how it will work when it comes to walking the cat because the cat doesn't want to move with it on him. I have put it on him several times, and all he does is lie on the floor and look at me until several hours later I give up and take it off.

Works like it should. It did take a while for me to get the harness to fit my cat (tightening the straps is a little bit of a struggle) but overall I like it. My cat isn’t very leash trained but she enjoys our ‘walks’. Specifically for a cat, I like a harness a lot better than just a collar and leash.
