I ended up rigging a backup choke chain to his highnesses harness so if he tries to slip the harness the choker catches him. Don't ever get a cat harness with any elastic whatsoever, very important. Thanx
Love this video. Our boy Otis has escaped so many times when he's out in the back garden on the leash. Luckily for us he chases it down the garden as we use a retractable leash. His sister however has only managed to escape once. She loves the harness but he has taken soe time to adjust. When she got off the leash she freaked and ran into the house. The tips in this video will be invaluable. Thank you.
One thing I’d love you to cover is how to push through if your cat seems to always want to leave after 5mins. My cats have had harness training since kitten and are great on lead in house but outside world spooks them and I feel bad taking them out each time when they don’t seem to enjoy it. Is it worth preserving?! (Have a Siamese x (3) and a Bengal (just turned 1) . Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! It's important to remember that while the harness is a crucial component, its effectiveness also relies on proper fit, training, and leash positioning. Even the most secure harness can become escapable if it isn't used correctly. We recommend checking out our video above or accompanying blog post (supakit.co/blogs/cat-guides/cat-harness-escape-proof-stop-escapes), which provides detailed instructions on achieving the best fit and tips for training and leash positioning to ensure your cat stays safe and secure. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, we're here to help!
If your cats harness is NOT escape proof, then if they get away and caught on something... that's where they will stay. Whether it be hanging in the air from a branch, a pole of a fence, the wire of a fence or a million other things that can you can catch things on. And if you can't find them, or they're up a tree and nobody goes to that area for days... They will die.
Thank you for highlighting this important concern. It’s crucial that a harness is only ever used to walk your cat with a leash, and with an attentive human on the other end to ensure safety. For unsupervised adventures, a breakaway collar is the best option, as it’s specifically designed to release if your cat gets caught on something, just as you described.

Comment below how many times you see Lola the cat show up and steal the limelight in this video!
I LOST my Kipi that way. She has been gone since July 4th. 2021. 😢 I still miss her.
We’re so sorry for your loss 🌈❤️

Thank you so much for that step 4 tip!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.
What is the name of the leash that you showed that goes under & over both arms.
It's the Supakit cat harness and leash, here's a link to browse them in the store: bit.ly/3kzTiE3
The best harness proved escapable. Will an H harness work better?
