So my kitties have been wanting to go outside, Ive got a screened in porch but Im not sure that they couldnt escape (just moved in) so Im not letting them out there yet. I measured Kinky and Nermal right behind the shoulders and theyre 19 & 20 inches. The only cat harnesses I can find are 14" or 16". I know my cats arent the only big kitties (and theyre not really fat, just big!) so where do you find accessories for them?

I got Oliver a small dog harness... I'd personally suggest getting a roman style harness (not an H style) as Oliver was able to wiggle out of his H style harness in the back yard... luckily I saw and managed to just go scoop him up and bring him in.... Here's a picture of the one I bought (in blue of course!)

The Roman style has like the metal ring on the chest part, so you put it over their head, then step the one foot through the hole and then clip around/under the armpits

I agree, roman style dog harnesses are all I'll use.

We had cats who could even wiggle out of dog harnesses.
