I've been thinking about making a new harness for Storm, I already sew all her and the dog's collars so I'm hoping a harness isn't that huge of a step up. What style do you all prefer? Right now she has something very similar to the 'Safety Cat Lead & Harness' and neither one of us really like it. It's hard to adjust comfortably for her and it still cuts into her and she finds is super uncomfortable to wear. I think I'm going to make a wider soft fabric one that she might tolerate better. Do you like 'figure 8' or 'regular' styles better, and why? Is there a reason why cat harness don't include a connector that goes from the neck loop to the girth loop between the front legs like most dog harness? Has anyone used a 'step in' harness? I have one for my dog and I love it, it's so easy to put on and very quick and convenient.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

I use Roman Style dog harnsess for my cats. I prefer the way they sit in a V down the chest rather than around the neck like regular cat harnesses.
So you do use one that connects the two loops. I am leaning towards making one of that type I just wondered why so many cat harness don't have that connecting piece? It just looks to me that with out it the harness wouldn't work much different than a normal collar.

Roman style, all the way. They can't slip out, it doesn't choke them and they get used to it quickly. 

Thank you for the input! I finished Storm's harness yesterday. It's neon green, and I even did some stitching on a black leash to match.
It's a hybrid between a 'figure 8' and roman style harness. Since I made it with plastic buckles I only wanted one adjustment to cut down on the bulk of the neck strap. I think it turned out really great and Storm minds it much less than her other harness (which is now garage sale fodder).
