The media could not be loaded. 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 catsare 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 :)

The media could not be loaded. About 3 months of moderate use:The harness adjusts great and even fit her when she was 6 months old. It has good firm connections at the neck and under their arms. The clasp on the leash is unusual looking and makes it feel different than a dog leash. It is a good material and the colorful design is really pleasantly done. I checked and the underside of the harness (the side on her body) has smooth transitions so it doesn’t snag her fur or skin.If I had one /complaint/ then the neck adjustment is the wrong range. You can tighten the neck beyond the smallest setting for a kitten but the adjustment strap on the outside pops out (totally aesthetic and not a real problem, my cat grew up and it doesn’t happen anymore). That’s what is happening when I tightened it on my wrist in the video, it is smaller than the design but still works if you wanted to start training early.One night when I wasn’t watching she slipped an arm out of the chest strap but I tightened the strap and haven’t had an issue since. There is a mental block against a well fitting harness on a fluffy cat but if you can slip more than a couple fingers under the loop there is probably too much room. The first time she wore the harness she duck-walked but after a bit of positive reinforcement and with more time she acts totally normal about it. As people have said the harness does lean to one side or another as she wanders in new directions but she doesn’t seem to mind and if it does bother you the only solution is to follow closely behind them keeping the leash at a specific angle.We were so pleased to have an option other than crating our cat to go to the vet or anywhere else. It is easy and pleasant to introduce her to new surroundings or take her in the car, just like how dogs are treated. She does not walk well on the leash but we haven’t attempted to train her. Mostly our cat gets more freedom and is learning to be flexible. She is not treated like a scared prisoner in a portable cage to see new things from behind bars. Let your cat be part of the world!

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.
