Catit Adjustable Nylon Harness & Leash Set - Black - Small

The Catit Adjustable Harness & Leash Set is made from snag-proof nylon weave that will not shrink or tighten when snagged or scratched. The harness is easy to use and its quick-release buckles allow you to remove it with ease. The neck strap features a (removable) bell to help you locate your cat more easily and warn wildlife of your cat’s presence. From now on, your cat can join you on your wildest adventures!

The safe breakaway buckle design releases your cat when their harness becomes caught, preventing injuries.

The Catit Harness & Leash Set is available in three sizes:

Medium (neck: 8-14’’ / 20-35 cm, chest: 14-20’’ / 35-50 cm)
Large (neck: 9-16’’ / 23-40 cm, chest: 14-24’’ / 35-60 cm)

Collar training

It’s important to let your cat get used to their collar before putting it on, so that they won’t immediately try to take it off and potentially harm themselves. Allow your cat to get their smell on the collar first, by rubbing against it or placing it in the cat’s bed. Next, when the cat is relaxed and calm, try putting on the collar and leaving the buckle open. Afterwards, close the buckle and leave it on for a few minutes, then take it off again. At a later time, you can put it on again and keep it for a few minutes longer. Repeat this exercise to help your cat get used to wearing it, but don’t push it as negative associations will make your cat wary of the collar. However, most cats get used to collars pretty easily, so you might not have to go through this entire process.

How to adjust the Catit Nylon Collar, Breakaway or Harness

The length of the Catit Nylon Collar, Catit Breakaway, Catit Harness, and Catit Harness & Leash Set can be adjusted to get the perfect fit for your cat. In general, you should leave enough room so that two fingers can slip in between your cat’s neck and collar: this ensures that the collar isn’t too tight but also not too loose. A collar that is too tight could restrict breathing, while a collar that is too loose could cause your cat to get stuck on something, like a branch. Some cats even try to stick their paw between the collar and their neck in an effort to remove the collar.

The fit of the collar should be checked regularly to ensure that the sizing has not changed due to wear. Keep in mind that a kitten can grow very quickly, so their collar should be checked at least every week until they are full grown.
