Here Are The Best Traveling Cat Harnesses

Reviews

Pet Safe Come With Me Kitty is ideal for easygoing cats (and kittens)
 

Because less of their body is confined by the open design and comfortable straps of this harness, cats have greater mobility than they would with a vest-style harness.

It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and giant. The small will suit most kittens, and we’ve discovered a fantastic step-by-step pictorial instruction that demonstrates you how to train a kitten to wear a harness.

What we enjoy about it:

• Three adjustment points ensure a soft, comfortable fit.
• 3/8-inch nylon straps are lightweight and reduce pressure on the cat’s neck.
• It comes with a bungee cord-style leash that has some “give” when pulled.
• Six eye-catching color selections

Necoichi Ninja is ideal for Fashionista Kitties
 

The hook-and-loop cloth used to secure this Necoichi vest-style harness. Buyers say it’s popular with cats who dislike the feel of strap-style harnesses or a tight collar.

What we enjoy about it:

• Patterned fabrics that are appealing
• Cotton is a lightweight fabric.
• Nothing has to be pulled over the cat’s head because it’s step-in style.

PUPTECK Soft Mesh Harness with Leash is ideal for large cats
 

This one is a dog harness. However, it has received positive feedback from users and is available in a second size (medium) for cats who are too large for kitten equipment.

The breathable mesh fabric will keep your cat comfortable, and the D-rings on the back of the harness will keep your cat’s neck from straining.

Check the size chart for the best fit based on your cat’s chest and neck measurements (most cats can wear a small, but some may need to size up to medium).

What we enjoy about it:

• Durable, lightweight mesh Velcro fasteners on the chest and neck allow you to put it on without covering the cat’s head.
• There are nine fabrics to choose from, including solids and patterns.

Holster for Kitty
 

Cotton Kitty Holster harness is soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. According to several reviewers, this harness is nearly escape-proof.

We appreciate the balance of comfort and security. What is our only concern? While the 100% cotton is comfortable, it will remain wet if your cat goes for walks in the rain.

The Kitty Holster is available in seven different colors and patterns, as well as four different sizes. Before ordering, carefully measure your cat—a lot of long, floofy fur might hide a really slender cat!

What we enjoy about it:

• Simple to put on and take off (two hook-and-loop closures)
• Machine washable and long-lasting
• Cotton on both sides; perfect for cats with allergies or skin problems.

Reflective Travel Cat Harness and Leash Set
 

Fat Cat’s Travel Cat harness is sturdy but lightweight for your cat’s comfort. It’s a breathable synthetic mesh fabric with hook-and-loop closures. Customers say it’s critical to make it snug, especially if your cat is an escape artist.

The Travel Cat is available in four different colors (including bright red and orange) and four different sizes.

What we enjoy about it:

• It comes with a 4-foot nylon leash.
• If your cat is out at night, the reflective stripe will come in handy.
• The 360-degree rotating snap attachment allows your cat to move freely.

FAQ

Are cat harnesses safe to use?

Yes! Harnesses are regarded more secure and safer for cats than traditional collars. Just keep in mind that it may take some time for your cat to grow used to them.

Don’t leave your cat with a leash unsupervised – they could get it stuck on something and inadvertently hurt themselves or destroy whatever they got trapped on while trying to escape.

Why are harnesses preferable than collars?

If your cat pulls on its collar too hard, it might cause tracheal injury (the medical term for throat). The best cat harnesses will not limit only the neck. This design keeps a strained cat from injuring or suffocating itself.

This is not to imply that collars are intrinsically harmful to cats; many cats wear collars without incident. The moral of the story is that harnesses reduce the possibility of damage.

How do you get your cat ready to wear a harness?

It may take some time for your cat to become used to wearing a harness and walking on a leash, as with anything new. Introduce it gradually to ease them into it.

Lay it over them gently while reclining on the couch, and let them get acquainted to it as an item before attempting to place it on them. Then, to assist build positive connotations, utilize positive reinforcement with sweets and toys.

Pro-tip. Before heading out, try using the harness around the house. Mr. Floofington and Duchess Meow’s cat mom suggests getting them used to the new harness indoors first, then moving on to the backyard. Some of the sights and smells in the backyard will be familiar to your cat, making them feel more at ease.
