Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash Set by OutdoorBengal for Walking Cats and Kittens (Soft Mesh, Medium Cat)

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love this harness. It is very comfortable for my kitty. He adjusted quickly with training and loves romping outside daily. This harness allows for maximum mobility so my kitty can jump, run, leap, lie down, and walk with ease and comfort. It is very easy to put on and extremely secure as long as you’re keeping your harness leash in the “harness safety zone”. That is true for ALL harnesses. The leash safety zone is anywhere from above the cats head to behind the cats head, with slack on the leash ideally. Walking a cat is not like walking a dog. It is for enriching your cat. If you want your cat to be highly mobile while using the harness, it is best to pair it with a form of mobility. Either training your cat to go on the shoulder. Use a backpack carrier. Or Stroller for pets. My cat loves all of these! That will keep your cat moving forward when you want, but also the harness will give you safety and protection for your kitty and allow your kitty to romp and explore along the way. THERE ARE NO ESCAPE PROOF HARNESSES. So you must use proper harness safety technique when walking your kitty. If your harness goes in front of your cats head with a tight leash they CAN pull themselves out of any harness potentially. So you must prevent that position as much as possible. Also, never force your cat. Sometimes my kitty loves going outside (almost every day!) But there are days where he prefers to stay indoors. That’s OK too. I highly recommend watching. Albert & Mia’s YouTube channel @outdoorbengle for additional training instruction, tips & great advice! All of their products are high-quality and amazing. I especially love the Feastfuls kitty chicken treats for daily clicker training. Very healthy and low calorie. I also have the Albert & Mia clicker training kit with cards. And the travel litter box. All excellent quality and highly recommended This harness comes with a 6 foot leash. But we very quickly graduated to a 15 foot and 30 foot leash. I prefer my leash to be brightly colored. You can see in the video how quickly my kitty learned to love the harness. I used gogurt-style treat tubes for training during the first couple weeks. Now I only use the healthy chicken when putting on the harness to keep him still. Which he loves also.! I have a 1 1/2 year old adult Devon Rex male who is 7 1/2 pounds. I purchased the medium. He wears it on the smallest setting. Enjoy!

It’s just what we were looking for. Light weight, not bulky. Easy to put on. My cat didn’t like his old harness. It was thick and bulky. And he did back out of it and escape a few times. This harness has a snugger, more secure fit and so far no escapes. We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend it to anyone who needs a good kitty harness.

Cat was comfortable enough to move freely in it the first time he wore it, it's lighter then other harnesses I tried with him and the clips don't make the loud sound other harnesses do. It also fits the menace perfectly and is will made.

This is an effective cat collar and does what they say, it's escape proof (so far ...). I do have a few quibbles, first off, the price. $35 for a pretty simple design seems high, especially given the knock-offs are about half the price. It's also made in China so no excuse there. The design is quite simple, not sure why it took so long to come up with it. The price isn't a deal breaker though, just a quibble. I do have issues with the tiny plastic quick connect/release clips, my old fingers have a little trouble with them. The clips must be inserted in the correct orientation and to release them requires precise placement of your (preferably small) fingers. Other cat collars have used similar clips, just much larger, and are easier to use. One last thing, I didn't use the included leash, six feet is way too short for my cat. I use a 15-foot retractable dog leash. My wandering buddy needs the ability to wander in the bushes or make a split second dash to get away from the UPS truck!

Bummed to write this as I had really high hopes at first. While the fit is great and he seems quite comfortable in it, the function design turned out to be 100% escapable and also rather dangerous. We were outside one day and something spooked him, suddenly he was writhing in it and the leash had caught on something pulling tight while he was trying to escape it. Turns out pulling hard against the leash was actually tightening the loop around his neck, choking him and making him panic even more, which is unfortunately how this harness has been designed. It is *supposed* to tighten when it is pulled against. Suddenly I imagined him escaping somehow with it on and it getting caught on something and strangling him to death and I don't think I can use it again. When I finally got him to calm down enough (after ripping my hands and forearms to shreds), the harness was so tight around his poor neck that he was struggling to breathe.:( Poor guy. We haven't been outside since.

This is a great harness but it’s best started young. My girl is almost 10 and she will not walk in it. She wears other harness’s okay but not this one.

This is a great harness. Very easy to put on, and it's very light.It's more 'escape resistant' than other options my cats have tried. its just a very nice minimalist design.I do worry about the tiny plastic buckles on the sides, they seem so fragile. I'm not sure what a better suggestion would be while still maintaining how light it is for the cat though.
