So my mom sent me a cat harness in the mail.

Its this one:http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products.../Itemdy00.aspx

IMO it looks sort of flimsy, so I thought I'd ask if anyone here uses this kind?

I can't imagine it staying on very well.

Definitely flimsy. Abby broke hers with the second outing. It may not be bad to use inside the house to get her used to the feeling of a harness.

I was going to say the same thing Karen did. It would be ideal for letting your cat get used to having a harness on in the house before taking her outside. It is all one piece so you wouldn't have to get her used to the leash portion seperately.

That's what I'd do with it (if she's not already used to her harness anyway)... then buy a sturdier one (and matching leash, of course!) once she's used to a harness to actually take her outside... I have a small H style dog harness for Oliver (basically it clips around his neck and around him behind his front legs) and matching 4-foot, I believe, leash and they work well for when I take him out on my parents' deck when we're visting and I also "suit him up" whenever he's going in his carrier (there's a leash hook inside his soft carrier), just in case the carrier somehow comes open....

That's exactly what I'll do then.

I'd love to be able to take them outside now that its warm.
