pidan Cat Harness and Leash Set, Cats Escape Proof – Adjustable Kitten Harness for Large Small Cats, Lightweight Soft Walking Travel Petsafe Harness（(Multicolor-M Size）

This leash paired w/ a booster seat helps my Cerebellar Hypoplasia cat in car rides to vet
Preface/background: Waffles was born in December 2022 with (mild) Cerebellar hypoplasia also referred to as CH or “Wobbly Cat Syndrome.” This is a disorder where the brain doesn’t fully develop neurologically and the cat can have uncoordinated and/or jerky movements along with balance issues. Some cats are severe and have trouble walking along with other things and some have a more mild form. My cat, Waffles is mild and for example can’t jump from the floor to a couch or bed, wiggle butt, when he runs in the house he sounds like an elephant bc he runs & walks heavy, can’t stand up & stretch his legs out on you when he wants held or like when you’re making food or getting his ready like some cats do, he wags his tail when you talk to him. He also thinks I’m his mom & is attached to me like a kitten to their momma in regards to following me, crying for me if I’m not in the same room, etc. You wouldn’t know he had by looking at him other than the way he sits and “loafs.” A comparing would be like a human that has cerebral palsy.Review: I wanted to give a background or preface to my review so other folks with a cat like mine or any cat in general, thinking about this leash will have helpful information.When Waffles was a baby, a vet trip in a carrier was just a regular trip and he didn’t cry. Well, as he has gotten older, the last 2 trips he cried almost the whole time. The one I couldn’t take him out bc it was just me driving & him in the carrier in the passenger seat. (I’d give him treats to calm him down). This last time, my husband was driving & I had him in the carrier on my lap. I finally let him out & all he wanted to do was look out the windshield & window. And didn’t cry once & let me hold him the entire time, he wanted to face forward so his back/spine was against me (like holding a kid).I came upon a few videos on social media platforms where ppl had leashes for their cats (one with CH) and a booster. I didn’t want a leash to walk him, so I never bought one. But when I seen thr one with a booster & the cat sleeping, I thought it would be great for Waffles. I started searching & bc of his issue with CH in regards to balance & coordination, I didn’t want to get a vest type bc I was thinking it would be more confining and really mess with his balance. I choose to buy this leash when I came upon it bc of it giving more “freedom of movement” for my cat when he was put down to walk, plus the leash would work with a booster. I then purchased the UNICITII booster for small dogs & cats & put it in my Explorer & tried out the leash.In the video, this was his 1st time ever on a leash, which he done phenomenal on for any cat, bit especially great for a Cerebellar Hypoplasia cat! He absolutely loved being in the booster. He did get a little tangled, so that is a balancing act on the length of the leash/harness you give them so they can’t escape. You can clearly see the next day (day 2) the leash paired with the booster, that he loved it. And the best part, which I love, I can take him like.this to the vet and then put him.in the carrier before I take him inside. It’s a win-win for us. No stressing him bc he isn’t confined anymore in a carrier where he can’t see & doesn’t is totally unbalanced (think eyes closed & feel like your moving sensation). No he can watch out the window and balance himself with a combo of the leash & booster. And no stress or heartbreak on me bc he is crying the whole ride to the vet.If you’ve read this far, as you can see the leash is great & less confining than other types. I highly recommend this one, even if it’s just a starter leash bc it is a great value for the money! And let’s nor forget the color is super cute and not just plain jane, too!Please give me a thumbs up of this review was helpful and/or you gained any insight from my review 🙂

Good harness but not for large cats–connecting strap should be adjustable
We bought this harness for our kitten when he was about four months old. It was a hit immediately–the lighter design made him quickly forget he had it on after we put it on him a couple of times, and the design is sturdy, so I’ve never felt like it will break on him or that he could get out of it. I could adjust it relatively tight and it was still comfortable for him, at least while he was under 10 pounds.Unfortunately, he grew a lot more than we expected, and at ten months, he’s already fourteen pounds. The neck and chest straps still fit him fine with some additional room to grow, but the connecting strap is too short. I have to give him extra girth on the neck strap so he doesn’t choke, and even then, it pulls back at an awkward angle that makes him uncomfortable: he has started scratching the neck area frequently when we put it on, and I’ve noticed the top of the neck strap no longer lays back, so I think it digs into his spine a bit when he extends his head.The frustrating thing is that this issue could have been easily solved by making the connecting strap adjustable like the other parts of the harness are. I realize that most cats won’t get this big, so many owners won’t have this issue, but I hope Pidan will update their design to correct this flaw–the harness is great otherwise.As a final note, the provided leash is quite short. If your cat likes to explore (as most cats do), I would get a light bungee leash or similar. We were already expecting this and mostly wanted a comfortable harness, so this wasn’t a big deal for us.

I got this cat harness and leash to use in conjunction with another harness. This harness I use specifically if I want my cat to be comfortable in a harness for extended periods of time (such as on an airplane) and not escape. Finding a harness that combines comfort, style, and escape-proof security has been a priority for me, and even a bit of a challenge as my cat is still growing. I have found that a lot of harnesses are not designed for her body type (she is quite long compared to other cats) and I wanted her to have enough space from her neck to the strap that goes behind her arms (armpit area). It never seemed to be long enough for her, until I found this harness. It was a good fit and she tolerates it as we go on adventures together. Regardless if I’m using this harness or the other adventure harness, I always use this leash. It’s amazing. Its sleek and modern and it has a round attachment. It is secure and comfortable and just long enough for her to feel like she is exploring, but also gives me that security that I need to keep her safe. I like how this harness is very lightweight too. As for escape proof… this is the only harness my cat has not been able to come out of. I have tried many and when she gets spooked this is the one that I feel the most secure with. I also really like how putting on this harness is a breeze, thanks to the simple two clasps (one around her neck and one around her body). She doesn’t like having harnesses pulled over her head.

Amazing, my cat didn’t manage to escape once! I recommend it to anyone looking for a cat harness.
