Cat Collar Review

What about a cat collar harness instead of a traditional collar?   A harnesses may be an option for you and your cat especially if you let your cat outside, lounge on a porch or patio, or take your kitty for walks.  There are a couple of reasons why you may want to consider acquiring a harness over a collar.

Reason Number One- A harness is much safer for your cat. A harness secures more of your cats upper body therefore  reducing the harm that may come from your cat pulling a traditional collar that secures around their neck.  Collars that only secure the neck area are sometimes not the safest cat collars and could mean that your feline may strangle or choke if they try wiggle or get out of this kind of collar. More coverage means more safety.

Reason Number Two-There  are many different cat collar harnesses from which to choose. Searching on the Internet or even looking at television commercials will provide you with an endless list of cat products from which to choose.  Harnesses come in different fabrics. Soft air mesh harnesses, fleece and reflective cat harnesses are trendy. Some come in sets with matching leashes.  Most harnesses  come in small, medium and large  sizes depending on the weight of your cat.  It is important for you to measure your cat around the neck and behind the front leg area in order to get the proper size and fit for your cat.

Don’t think that because you fit your cat with a harness and not a collar your cat will be appreciative. I am almost  99.9% sure that your kitty will have a little bit of a problem with this new addition to their body part. You may have to go through a transition period and let your cat become accustomed to the  harness.  You may also want to put the harness on your cat while in the house. Do this for at least a week. This way your  little baby can get some practice wearing and becoming comfortable with wearing the harness before you take him or her outside. Providing your cat with a training period will prevent your beloved cat from clawing up your leg, trying to climb the nearest tree or just putting the breaks on making you have to drag the frightened animal back into the house.

There are several places to purchase cat collars as well as other cat supplies. Pet supply stores, your veterinarians office and the Internet are the most popular.
