Two padded panels wrap the chest and fasten with a single buckle on top, and the lead clips to a metal D-ring beside it. A \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 m (4.9 ft) lead is included\u003c\/strong\u003e, colour-matched to the harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a vest and not a collar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe load sits across the chest and shoulders instead of the throat, which is the main reason people use a harness for a cat at all. The wide panels also give a cat less of a single strap to wriggle backwards out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll put that plainly, though: \u003cstrong\u003eno harness is escape-proof\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a determined cat in a frightening moment can get out of most things. Fit it snugly — two fingers under the panel, no more — and don't treat it as a substitute for supervision outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing (measure the chest, just behind the front legs)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e — chest 25–29 cm (9.8–11.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e — chest 33–39 cm (13–15.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e — chest 38–44 cm (15–17.3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese run to cat and small-dog proportions. If your cat measures between two sizes, size up — the panels are adjustable, and a harness that is slightly loose is easier to fix than one that is too tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst time out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cats need a few short indoor sessions in the harness before a lead is ever attached.
