Here is a video answering the most frequently asked questions about the made-in-the-USA Kitty Holster.

 


Here is a written list of FAQs:

 

How does the Kitty Holster stay on?

The harness secures with strong, wide Velcro closures at the neck and around the abdomen.

 

Is the harness washable?

Yes. For best results, close both collar and girth so that the Velcro overlaps entirely and wash in cold water on the delicate cycle. Dry closed in dryer on delicate setting or open Velcro and lay flat to dry.

 

My cat HATES harnesses. How can I best get the Kitty Holster on him?

We recommend that you drape it over him while he is lying down. Reach slowly and gently around his abdomen and neck to secure the Velcro closures.

 

Can my cat get out of the Kitty Holster?

It is VERY difficult for a cat to remove a well-fitting Kitty Holster. However, some cats can get out of ANY harness, particularly if it is loose fitting around the collar (you should not be able to get a finger easily between collar and cat). In our experience, these accomplished Houdinis tend to pull backwards against a taut leash -- particularly in a tie-out situation, which we do not recommend -- while twisting rapidly with front legs straightened up toward their head, thereby being able to slip the harness over their head and front legs. For any cat that has a tendency to pull backwards against a leash it is essential that the harness fit snuggly and that you keep the leash behind the cat.

 

How do I remove cat hair from the Velcro?

To clean the Velcro between washings, use one of the types of sticky-rollers that are sold to remove pet hair from clothing. A swipe of the roller and even the hair that is stuck in the closed loops of the Velcro will simply vanish.

Yes! Here is a handful. You can certainly find customer-made videos on instagram.

The Kitty Holster will fit tripod cats very well if they have a front left or right stump. If your cat's front leg has been amputated in full and there is no protruding stump, then you would need to order a custom, hand-made-to-order Tripod Kitty Holster. Note that the Tripod harness covers a portion of the flat area where the leg is missing, so it will not fit a Tripod cat that has a stump.

  • Keep a bag of your cat’s favorite treats with you.
  • Hold the leash behind your cat. It is nearly impossible for a cat to back out of a Kitty Holster if the leash is behind the cat. Walk your cat in an enclosed yard or other safe area NOT near traffic or crowded areas.
  • Take the time to train your cat to not attempt to back out of the harness: if your cat backs up, INSTANTLY slacken the leash and DO NOT give your cat something to pull against. After several repetitions your cat will stop attempting to pull out of the harness backwards. It is essential that you INSTANTLY and ALWAYS slacken the leash. This is easiest if you are standing behind the cat.
  • Use and reinforce vocal cues such as “go,” “no,” “stop,” “inside” and “wait.”
  • Use gentle reassurance by talking to your cat in a friendly tone. If your cat becomes alarmed, stroke your cat’s back at the base of the tail.
  • If your cat starts to twist and roll to escape from the harness, do not try to pull the cat to you. Instead, slacken the leash, reach down and pet your cat to calm the cat down. If your cat was frightened by something or someone, calmly pick your cat up, walk away from the area, and consider calling it a day.
  • If your cat escapes from the Kitty Holster, stay calm. Sit on the ground, offer your cat a treat, and urge your cat to come to you using a friendly voice. When your cat comes to you, reach out slowly, pet your cat, and then calmly pick your cat up. If your cat starts to wander off, don’t take chase! Hearing you running behind will just make your cat run faster; instead, walk calmly and slowly, saying your cat’s name in a friendly voice. Stop when your cat stops, sit on the ground and offer your cat a treat to entice your cat to come to you.

Great quality, super cute. Strong velcro.

My cat loves going for walks and this harness keeps him snugly secured to a leash! He was a little spooked by the velcro sound the first several times I took the harness off, and he wasn't too sure about wearing it early one but once he learned the harness meant he gets to go outside he adapted pretty quickly.

My cats HATE harnesses and are very very good at getting them off. They have taken a liking to these ones in only two days time! They are so comfortable in them they were roaming the yard, running and jumping after 15 minutes putting them on for the first time. It is incredibly light weight and steam lined. The cats have a great amount of space around the arm holes. No rubbing or chafing. The Velcro is so strong they won't be able to rub it off. And, the Velcro band is large allowing plenty of room for the cats gain and lose weight in it comfortably. I recommend this to anyone who has cats that hate harnesses or are very good at escaping them.
