Cat Harnesses & Leashes
Cat leashes and harnesses are a wonderful way to add enrichment to your furry friend's life- especially when used to explore the outdoors! They offer peace of mind to pet parents and can even further strengthen that already powerful human-feline bond. Some common types of cat leashes and cat harnesses can include:
- Jacket and vest harness: These types of harnesses are most common for our furry friends, as they are easy to put on and even help brave outside elements
- Bungee leash: When it comes to quality cat leashes, the stretchy bungee leash is popular as it prevents sharp pulling and tugging
- Reflective leash: A reflective leash allows you to better supervise your kitty during nighttime walks or while in foggy weather
- H-style harness: The H-style cat harness is a snug fit that will prevent escaping while exploring the outdoors

Frequently Asked Questions about Cat Harnesses & Leashes
What types of harnesses are best for cats?
Many recommend the vest and jacket style cat harnesses. They offer protection from outdoor elements and evenly spread the pull force throughout your feline's body, avoiding neck strain. A jacket-style harness is the least likely harness your pet can escape from, making it a top choice so long as it's made from breathable material. Consult your vet with any questions.
How do I choose the right size harness and leash for my cat?
Determining the right size cat leashes and harnesses involves you taking accurate measurements of your furry friend. Measure the chest girth and neck circumference, then check the size chart with those numbers. Consult your vet with any questions.
Are cat harnesses and leashes safe for outdoor walks?
Using cat leashes and harnesses can be a safe way for your cat to explore the outdoors under supervision. It can help engage them with the outside elements and even incorporate supervised socialization. It's always important to have the most secure leash or harness for your pet, so you can ensure safety and avoid escaping. Consult your vet with any questions.
Can all cats be trained to use a harness and leash?
Some cats can be trained for harnesses and cat leashes, but not all. Since cats have individual temperaments and personalities, some may not enjoy using a harness or leash and the feeling of being restricted can cause a fear response. Consult your vet with any questions.
What is the difference between cat and dog harnesses?
Harnesses for cats are lighter than dog harnesses, more flexible, and designed for containment. Dog harnesses, on the other hand, may include front attachments to avoid pulling and are designed for directional control.
