How to Fit & Train Your Cat

Choosing the Right Size

Most 812 lb adult cats wear size S/M. Always measure to be sure:

• Neck: Measure snugly around the base of the neck.
• Chest (girth): Measure snugly around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
• Compare both measurements to our size chart (XS, S/M, M/L, XL) and choose the size where both neck and chest fall within the range.

Important fit tip: The harness must be worn snugly to be secure you should not be able to easily slide a finger between the collar and your cat. A loose collar is the #1 reason any harness can be escaped.

1. Let your cat get used to it: Leave the harness near your cats bed or favorite spot for a few days so they can see and smell it.
2. First fitting indoors: In a calm room, gently place the harness on your cat and secure the neck and chest Velcro so it is snug but comfortable.
3. Short practice sessions: Let your cat wear the harness indoors for 510 minutes at a time, gradually increasing the duration.
4. Add the leash: Clip on the leash and let your cat drag it indoors under supervision before you begin guided walking.
5. Gradual outdoor adventures: Start in a quiet, secure outdoor area and keep early walks short and positive.

Best for: Indoor cats starting leash training, anxious or escape artist cats, vet visits, travel, therapy cats, and adventure cats exploring safely outdoors.
