PetSafe Come With Me Kitty Harness and Bungee Leash, Harness for Cats, Medium, Black/Silver, CWMK-M-BLK

I purchased this set for my aging cat (who was 9 when I bought this and is now 11) when it became clear that he was no longer suited for his previous indoor/outdoor lifestyle and would be a healthier, safer cat if he was kept inside as much as possible. I didn't want to completely isolate him from the outside world, but I also didn't want him to be put at risk of sickness or injury. Walks together using this harness and leash was the perfect solution to the problem and was a good compromise for both me and the cat. He gets to enjoy the fresh air and mark his territory and get exercise, while I get the peace of mind that comes with knowing he's not in harm's way. Now, Blizzard is one of those uncommon cats that doesn't really ever fight me on anything, even if he's not thrilled, he just passively takes whatever I decide to do to him. He lets me give him baths, touch his tummy, get stuff from his eyes, check around in his mouth, wipe his butt, all that kind of stuff that cats generally fight their owners on, so he really had no trouble getting the harness on or walking with it on. I don't expect that to be the general experience, but for my cat, it was no trouble at all. He didn't fight the harness, try to slip out of it, lay down in defiance, or refuse to walk. In fact, the only trouble I run into with taking him on walks is that he sometimes hisses at me when we're on walks and he isn't quite ready to stop sniffing something and I want to keep moving (which isn't the product's fault!). I will say, however, that I find this product's sizing to be a little weird. Blizzard is not a large cat at all. In fact, he's considerably smaller than most of the other cats I've had in my life and most of the cats I see around the neighborhood. I'm quite sure my little bobbed-tail baby was the runt of his litter. He weighs about 10 lbs. But the large size harness fits in pretty well without a lot of adjusting. I'd definitely measure your cat and compare the numbers to what the product description says before purchasing! Other than this, I find the harness to be a quality product that's held up well. A few times Blizzard has tried to dart off very quickly while wearing the harness/leash and managed to get a front leg free from the force of suddenly running, but he's never been able to fully pull himself out the harness, so I think this is a worthwhile buy if you have a wiggly, slinky cat that's prone to slipping free. There are several ways/places to adjust the harness, so it can be tightened to each cat in the way that it needs to be to ensure the cat is secure and won't be getting off their leash anytime soon. The harness is also pretty comfy apparently, since Blizzard has been able to lounge and snooze in his without trying to scratch his way free of it. It was also a perk that the harness/leash set comes in so many colors! Overall, a five star product

I was very skeptical. I searched and searched for a kitten harness. I landed on this one, and I am happy for it. It took a few minutes to get the right fit for him. He has yet to successfully escape. Despite many attempts. And so far, the last few times of use have been him basically ignoring the harness and leash. Which tells me it is comfortable enough that it doesn't bother him. I got the red because my cat is a tabby and I bring him outside with me at night, so I wanted color contrast, and it definitely delivered there. Plus it is spiffy looking, almost like hes wearing a power tie. It seems durable enough too. My kitten is feisty, I named him Loki for a reason. And this harness and leash have held up against his hyperactivity and attempts to play with and escape from the harness very well. I made it snug enough that he cannot back out of it, but I can still fit a finger between him and his harness. The rubber stopper isn't the best, and does slip like other reviews have stated, but that has yet to affect the fit or security of the harness. I might be able to use this on him until he's full grown, but if I can't, then I plan on buying this same one in a bigger size. For me and my kitten, this was a great purchase.

I have used this kind of harness for many years, first with an adult cat and now with a growing kitten, both of which were very easy to harness-train using this product. The adult was 9 years old when I first put a harness on him; this harness and the bungee leash helped him learn to yield to light pressure when he neared the end of the lead, and this led him to ultimately be quite comfortable walking with a slack lead, pausing any time he felt pressure, and using a retractable ribbon leash. The bungee leash was much too heavy for my 5-month old kitten, however, so I use a standard lightweight 6 foot leash or retractable ribbon leash instead. PROS: This harness is shaped specifically for cats rather than dogs. It accommodates the special anatomy of a cat's shoulders (somewhat triangular), which makes it easy for the cat to walk, lounge, romp, jump, and sit while wearing the harness. It puts the front point of pressure comfortably at the chest bone, and the back point of pressure more snugly toward the shoulder blades instead of along the spine (which is where the more squared-off dog-style harnesses put it). The harness has several adjustment points for a good fit. The three sizes allow a cat to grow into new ones as it ages. The many color choices are a plus, although I would have liked a brown option, as well. CONS (and the reason this gets 4 stars): The top of the harness is snugged up to fit the cat using a sliding rubber grommet, behind which the leash is attached to a ring. This grommet holds reasonably well, but is not grippy enough to keep the harness from slackening a bit during walks. The slipperiness of this grommet and the natural litheness of a cat make it possible for a cat to slip backwards out of the harness if it gets panicky and rapidly spins as it hits the end of a leash (even the bungee one). Owners must be particularly vigilant to avoid giving their cat this spin-out opportunity while training the cat to walk in new and potentially unnerving places. While my adult cat finally learned to stop at slight pressure on the lead during walks, I accepted this spin-out tendency as an escape option whenever I tethered him in the yard on the harness (if something really scared him, he had a "way out" if he made a mad dash toward safety). For the kitten, however, this ability to back out of the harness because of the sliding grommet can lead to a loose, rambunctious, erratically moving cat, so every time I have him on harness, I add a small alligator clip behind the grommet to keep it from slipping. The clip is a bit cumbersome for him and a nuisance to use, although I can revert to only the grommet after he is trustworthy on lead. If PetSafe ever came up with cleaner, more permanent solution to this grommet problem, I would definitely give this harness five stars.

I had always used collars with my Chihuahua, but on one of our walks, someone came up to me and said that collars pose safety risks to dogs. I then tried several dog harnesses. Unfortunately, they were all too bulky and stiff for her tiny frame. It was like putting her in a straitjacket. We went back to collars, but she eventually learned how to slip out of them whenever someone outside our immediate family walked her. Then we found this cat harness, and it worked perfectly for her! It wasn’t the easiest harness to put on because of all the loops and straps, but once it was on, it's lightweight, comfortable, and very secure. She barely seemed to notice she was wearing it, and I loved the red color on her. It held up wonderfully to daily use for 4 years, until she eventually passed away. The harness is still in great condition to this day. Highly recommend to all Chihuahua owners!

Came in a plastic bag, no packaging, and missing the leash altogether. Only received the harness. Was probably a returned item that was resold to me. Harness works fine, but as some have mentioned, can be a little tricky to pull over the head of a feisty cat for the neck portion. The waist portion has 2 snaps you can unclick, so kitty doesn't need to step into it. I got a medium size and my cat is relatively small, weighing about 7-8 lbs. Medium was big enough for me to tighten to fit her safely but not too small that she was uncomfortable. If you don't adjust the rubber stopper on the back piece, they can loosen themselves free. The rubber stopper keeps the harness snug at the size you make it.

My cat hates this leash, while absolutely I love it! He ran around inside the house all morning until afternoon, meowing and wanting to go outside. As soon as I put the harness on him while still omitting attaching the leash, he immediately protested wearing the harness by walking from the door opening to the corner of the door where the door hinges are and lays down onto the floor refusing to rise or move when touched! (ie. He makes himself feel overly heavy like children do when they do not want to be picked up.) Then I thought, maybe I should put him on the harness, during mornings and late evenings, just to keep him settled down? The reason why he has to be on a leash, he was recently bit which required a visit to the Animal Emergency Room, as well as a follow-up to his regular veterinarian doctor. He was initially shaved, and the laceration(s) required a week or so of healing time. Since we're now having below zero temperatures outside during Winter now, it's probably not a really great idea for him to spend much time outside until his fur grows back. Not only this, but other animals will surely know where to bite him without any fur to hide is body. Pros: 1) The harness is not too difficult to place on the cat, once you learn how the harness works. 2) Can likely really twirl your cat around and around without any fear of the thick leash breaking! Cons: 1) My cat hates it, but I love it because he then no longer wants to go outside! 2) The plastic harness snaps are somewhat small, difficult to snap together, and difficult to discern if they're face-up. 3) If the harness is too loose, the cat will simply step through. And if too tight, the cat will choke himself. 4) The leash is extremely heavy, and my one year old cat along with I prefer using simple twine. Twine is extremely lighter and undetectable by the cat when he's walking. 5) The leash is somewhat short, but any longer and the leash would then be much heavier. The reason the leash is heavy, is due to the Macrame weaving of the leash. 6) The cat tends to hate putting his head through the initial opening, but once through he appears fine with it until going outside. So maybe an elastic harness might be a better solution, so the opening could be easily temporarily enlarged to avoid touching his whiskers? 7) 2018.08.17: Is it a bad thing if the cat gets lost while wearing this entire harness and leash? On approximately August 17th 2018 at 8:00 PM, my cat did so. He likely got very lucky while getting likely stuck somewhere within North Pole Alaska, and was apparently able to eventually either step through or pull himself through the harness! He luckily, and unusual for his usual running free routine, turned-up at 7 AM the following morning! Since there are no break-away snaps, double check all of your knots and tie downs! 8) 2018.08.22: Noticed on the purchased replacement product, an American Bird Conservancy notice. Also noticed the product seems to now have smaller buckles and parts? (Attached a photo of the product nomenclature.)

I have come to really love this harness for my two cats. I originally got a vest harness, but the cats HATED wearing it. They either wouldn't move, or they crawled around like dopes. From the start they were much more chill about this strap-based harnessed, and now the only thing that they fuss about is putting it on--but that is a minor inconvenience. It's pretty simple to put on, and they know they have to tolerate it if they want to go outside. I liked the design of this harness much better than other strap harnesses because it doesn't have a loop around the neck and one around the ribs. It distributes the load over the chest and shoulders, which is a WAY better option in case the cat gets scared and bolts. (Which both of my cats have done from time to time.) Unlike the ones that wrap around the neck and ribs, this one is more "complicated" in that you need to make sure a leg doesn't end up on the wrong side of one of the straps, but that's pretty easy to spot and to correct. My cats are 9 and 10 pounds and the medium-sized harness works fine for both. As I said before, both of them have tried to bolt in it and gotten yanked back and didn't seem to get hurt. Neither of them have ever escaped from it. The only problem I've had with it is that one of the buckles cracked and I had to get a new one, but I wonder if I didn't step on it at some point--the cats knock it off the shelf sometimes as a request to go out. The leash that comes with is on the shorter side. It's perfect if you want to keep the kitty nearby so you can see what they are chewing on, etc. But now that the cats are pros at being outside, I got a retractable leash so they can chase grasshoppers without too much impediment, and it has been working great with this harness. Plus, the retractable leash allows me to let out a lot of slack when the cat is rolling around in the dirt so they don't get tangled up. With the leash that comes with, I need to either untangle them when the roll or crouch down so the leash lays on the ground. In summary: love this harness. A couple little quirks, but it's the best I've found for my cats.

I really like this harness and color of it for my cat. Feels durable, lightweight, is adjustable, and suitable for my cat. I got a medium and it fits nicely on her. I've gone through different types of harnesses with her too and this is the best one!

Perfect! Size M fits my 5months old siberian cats good and they are not disturbed by that

Wasn't sure how much success I'd have harness training a 4-year old Bengal cat, but she has taken to this without too much fuss. It's important to harness train cats in small steps to begin with...The cat will likely exhibit unusual behaviour at first, such as flopping on the ground or crawling on the floor or reversing in an effort to escape it, so make introductions short to begin with, no more than 5 minutes first time then all going well keep trying it each day gradually increasing the duration each time, making sure it's properly fastened and secure but allowing enough space to get two fingers under it so it's not too tight. The trick is to persevere and encourage the cat with treats and lots of petting and reassurance each time and try to engage them in play so that they develop a positive association with it. Within just a few days my cat was allowing me to put the harness on her without any fuss. After leaving the harness on her about an hour (during which time she mopped around in an apparent huff) I decided it was time to put the leash on her and take her into the garden. Once she had the outdoors to explore, along with me for security and reassurance, she took to it well and didnt try to escape. I have to say the leash that comes with the harness is also excellent, since the bungee prevents too much jarring or risk of injury if she bolts. A couple of times she did want to run, but mostly out of joy from having all the space to explore. The bungee leash was perfect for that, and once she's used to it, I will maybe switch to an extending chord leash to allow her to range a bit further while still staying safe. I'm confident after a few days training that I can now take her further afield and go on trips into the countryside without her freaking out and/or trying to escape. I was given the advice that tying a knot into the part of the harness where it fastens to a leash can help make it more difficult for the cat to escape, but I haven't found that I needed to do that. While this harness can be tricky to put on, requiring that it goes over the head then fastening on two sides, it is very secure once in position and adjusted to the right size for your cat. It should also be quicker to get used to than say a jacket harness, which may be easier to put on, but is also more restrictive. I'd previously tried a 'Voyager Step-In' jacket harness actually meant for small dogs, and she didnt take to it very well, freezing and flopping over almost as if she was having a seizure. I may work up to the jacket harness for certain outdoor conditions (winter for example), but the 'Come To Me Kitty' harness seems to be doing the job just fine, and compared to a jacket harness, it should quickly feel to the cat like it's not even there. Overall very happy with my purchase, and the cat seems happy too now that it's opened up a whole new world of outdoor adventures for her.

Excelente calidad!!, mi gatita tiene dos años, no es muy gordita y mi temor.era que le quedara grande, sin embargo le queda muy bien, es muy fácil de abrochar, y la Correa al ser como resorte no le molesta pues no se da tirones, el material se siente muy bien y durable, el empaque perfecto, trae instrucciones, realmente lo recomiendo al 100%

I've bought a harness for her before, but she hated it. It gave her a lot of stress. But as she loves to be outside so i wanted to give it another go. As she's got a lot of fur i wanted something that wasn't gonna be too warm. So this will also work for summers. This harness arrived 3 days ago! I put it on her very loosely the evening I got it and she wasn't too keen. But I distracted het with a few toys and she didn't even notice it anymore. The next day I let her outside in the garden with it and she just did her thing as she usually does. Today (day 3) I put the leash on and that is when it started annoying her and started yo bite the leash. But I held it up very lose and she started walking. She doesn't run off so I actually felt secure enough to open the gate and walked a bit outside the garden. Her little nose went in overdrive with all the smells. She has to learn to walk with a leash properly. And I eventually will get her a roller one. But for now, I am really happy with this harness. It is easy to put on and to adjust. I watched a YouTube video of someone putting the harness on their cat and I found that to be very helpful. I knew on forehand how to put it on her so it didn't take unnecessarily long as you're trying to figure it out a long the way. There's also manual included which I found helpful. It explains how it's safely secured on your kitten. The only issue I have with it, is the clip thingies are small which make it a bit difficult to open. And I think for larger breeds it may be too small. My kitten is 4,2kg. And she is wearing the large model. There is room to grow, but she is petit compared to her siblings. They may not fit this when they're fully grown. Which is also something to keep in consideration

Très bon produit en tout cas pour l'essai (je ne l'ai pas testé en sortie avec mon chat). La taille est réglable ce qui est très bien poue que mon chat soir à l'aise (ceux que j'avais déjà essayé étaient souvent trop petits sous le coup et qui ramène au poitrail) Par contre livraison médiocre le colis à été laissé en bas de mon immeuble à l'extérieur. Aucun appel aucun message pour me prévenir. Et en plus la livraison à été notée comme "déposé dans la boîte aux lettres). J'ai dû demander à mes voisins si quelqu'un l'avait en sa possession
