Kitty Holster Cat Harness

My cat is very comfortable in this harness. It's very easy to put on him, so he's cooperative, and it's easy to take off quickly. He loves going outdoors and is happy to be in the harness. I made sure to put it on him, made sure it was snug and secure and let him get used to it for a bit before venturing outside the first time. This is a great product that I recommend to all my friends with cats. It may seem like it's a little expensive, but it's made in the USA by a great nonprofit and it's definitely worth the price.

It was made very well, and I was surprised at how good the Velcro held. However, my cat slipped out of it so fast it took me a second to realize it. I was actually video taping when she did it and my screen shot is from the video. I think this is a great product for a seasoned cat and owner, but I would be very cautious with a nervous or first timer. I'm going to see if I can work with her to get her more comfortable, but it does concern me if she would get spooked.

As long as you strap the velcro correctly on your cat, your cat cannot get out of it. I did not this existed until my cat kept escaping (i got a random cheap harness that was meant for dogs - never again) during our walks and spends 30 mins in my neighbor's yard. She recommended the Kitty Holster since she takes her cats on walks as well. So far, no escaping, and my cat seems more calm during our walks.

We were hesitant to spend this much for a cat harness since we had never needed or used one before. But our new, formerly homeless and street-roaming cat Sox desperately wanted to go outside, and our eight-foot fence could not contain him. So eager were we to take him out that we didn't exactly go through the recommended breaking-in period. First, we tried the harness on our sweet, cooperative cat Skittles to show Soxy how much fun it was. Next, somehow we got the harness on Sox although the Velcro was noisy and scary at first. Inside the house, Sox did "fall over" a few times until we tightened the harness a smidge until it was "snug" but still a little loose to allow movement.

Once, he did bust out of the harness while trying to chase a rabbit. And sometimes we need to readjust the fit outside. But now Sox looks forward to seeing us holding the harness every evening and saying, "Time to go out!" Great product and company! … more

I bought the bandana kitty holster for my almost 7 year old male cat. We are taking him on vacation with us and wanted a secure way to allow him to be loose in the car and outside. It took Jagger about a week to get use to the jacket with treats as encouragement. Next step was taking him outside on a leash. He’s in love with going outside. The Velcro is wide and very secure, you literally have to pull it pretty hard to get it off. I would highly recommend this kitty holster.

This harness is fairly restrictive ... the Dread Lord acts like it's a strait-jacket. And he can escape from it, which gives me about ten seconds longer to react than the others I have tried. I had hoped he could ride in his cat stroller with the top down, but until I find something he can't wriggle out of, he must get his sun through the mesh.

We were at our wits' end trying to find an appropriate harness for our little Yorkie puppy. Nothing seemed to fit her correctly, even in size XS. We finally opted for a cat harness, which never occurred to me before. We initially had a different one that had straps, which she promptly chewed through. This one has a calming effect on her, kind of like a swaddling. The Velcro is very strong and extremely adjustable for size - so she can continue to wear this as she grows. The ring is back a little farther than on some, which is a good thing. We paired this with a metal leash, and it has been a Godsend. We ordered a second one in red bandana to swap in and out for when this one gets dirty We were at our wits' end trying to find an appropriate harness for our little Yorkie puppy.

This harness is so secure and so easy to put on my cat! We are put walking all the time now.the velcro is so strong I do have some trouble removing it, but I'll take that. My cat has long hair which is definitely sticking in the velcro, too. But dang this harness is good. My cat doesn't even really seem to mind it!

My escape artist kitty seems so content and comfortable wearing this. He loves to be able to hang out with us outside and watch the birds and squirrels. It's easy to put on him and fits very well.

I read the instructions and , once I get it on him, he just walks backwards and falls down. I’ll keep at it in hopes he’ll eventually get to go outside but, for now, just staying upright, with the help of a wall, seems to be all that’s possible.
