How to Fit a Cat Harness — The Complete Guide
Getting the right fit on a cat harness is the difference between a relaxed walk and a panicked escape attempt. Cats are built differently than dogs — narrower chests, more flexible shoulders.
Measure First, Buy Second
You need two measurements: chest girth and neck circumference. Use a soft tailor tape. If between sizes, always size up.
The Two-Finger Rule
Slide two fingers between the strap and your cat at every point. Two fingers comfortably but not three.
Once comfortable indoors, try short outdoor sessions. Let your cat lead.
