My kitten currently weighs about 5.5 lbs & is growing fast. My question is whether I should purchase the small or medium size?

yes medium. But it sort of depends on breed and gender. my male is 16 pounds and 3, he fits into a large and a medium smothers him. my tabby girl is so tiny, shes about 6-8 pounds? and shes a medium. so...

I would go for the medium for the long term ; my cat weight is about 9lbs. and i use the large. The harness has sliding adjustments and if your cat is still growing a medium for sure. I am happy with mine, get her used to it as soon as possible and enjoy the outdoors.

My kitten is a 7 month old Bengal and noe weighs 8 lbs. I got her a medium. If your kitten is still growing, a medium is probably what you are going to need.

Dusty,I started out with the small size when my kitten was three or four months old. She did grow, and I ended up purchasing the medium only because I wanted to make sure that the harness fit properly.Good luck. I love walking our now ten month old kitten.

I would suggest the medium, it is adjustable. In the reviews I read it runs small. Carol

My cat weighs 10 lbs. and needed a large set at the smallest setting. On the box, it says that the small size will accommodate 9-11 inches in girth, and medium will accommodate 10.5-14 inches in girth. If I were you, I'd measure your cat and go from there. Good luck!

We bought the small size at first and it fit.but was snug ...spooky did weigh a little more though....medium was fine for her. She loves it by way and just to let you know they can wiggle out if they wantt....she only did it once

buy the small if your kitten is small. Don't ever leave your cat unattended with this. She might hang herself. Be sure to get your cat chipped -- actually some vet clinics can get you hooked up with low income chipping if you are low on cash..... My actual cat uses the medium but as her head is small she can sort of try to wriggle out of it. So I end up not really using it at all.....

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

I bought a small for my cat and received an extra small which would have fit a hamster..I gave mine to the vet-they run small so buy as big as you can get

I would suggest getting the large size- I have a cat that's 10 pounds, and even the large size is a little snug (but she really likes it). The large should be a good size for your dog!

my 3 cats are just under 10 pounds each. In the large, thy have room to move and turn around. The small would probably work, but for long periods it may be a bit restrictive.

Small, in my opinion. Large is definitely too large for an average cat, and medium may be a little too large.

I would definitely purchase the medium if she likes to chew, their is a big difference between the small and the medium, the large is for 26 to 50 lb. dogs I give my smaller beagle the medium and she is 25 lbs. I give my 15 inch beagle either the medium or large. These are very expensive if you buy them through your vet as I did in the beginning. Hope this helps!

In my experience medium means for a grown cat over one year old. I started with small as my pet was a kitten and in the past few month graduated to medium without a problem now that our cat is over one year old. Our cat is on the petite side.

Unless you have an itty-bitty kitty (7lbs and under), you will do fine with the medium/large. My cat Bhodi is about 12 to 14lbs, and the medium/large works great. There is lots of adjustable room with the velcro straps at the neck and the belly, so you should be fine. Be prepared for your cat not loving the harness at first (Bhodi just flopped over and would only walk backwards at first!) Good luck!

Hi, I am purchasing two of these in Large for my 3+ year old tabby-brothers, as they grew out of their Mediums that I purchased for them as kittens. My boys are by no means obese or really even "extra large" cats...one weighs 11 1/2 lbs and is just a stockier guy than his brother who weighs 9 lbs. The smaller of the 2 is quite slim and lightly built (Abyssinian-esqe) (the Vet always says: and how is 'she' :-)...I adjusted the Medium out as far as possible and he wanted to wriggle out of it because it was very tight. The Medium girth on his brother was a couple of inches from even being fasten-able! Not to ruffle any feathers, but Large may be more realistic for the "average" adult cat from my experience. I agree that an oversized harness would be unsafe, so you may want to order a Small and a Medium to try on a young cat/kitten. These are, BTW, a steal for the price and made very well - and are better at keeping the cat in the harness than the 2 strap models without this one's clever design! Just be careful at first until you are sure that your cat is comfortable wearing a harness/being on a leash/being outdoors and keep it snug. Have fun!

I'd get the larger one. You can use the edges, or half of the 'brush'. Kittens grow so fast, don't bother with the smaller one.

I bought the medium size for my cat when she was 2 and she weighted about 12 LB.

My 20 pound cat wears a large. I think the medium would be fine for a 12 pound cat. It is made of t-shirt fabric and is very stretchy.

It depends on the size of your cat. Weigh yourself then pick up your cat and subtract your weight from the total number. You will get your cats weight. then look at the package of the soft paws medium is 9-13 pounds and large is beyond that. My cat is 18 or 19 pounds so i get the large ones. He has been wearing them for 4 years. No problem. I hope that helps.

Make sure you get the right one. Do the one that is 10-20lbs. My cat is only around 7lbs and that's the one we got her for to walk around in. it's huge for her. though it's perfect enough for her to stand up in and walk around

My cat weighs 13 lbs and I got him the medium/large. It fits him fine but there is room to spare. I would get the next size down for your cat. The harness has adjustable Velcro so you should be fine.

I have a 42lb Dalmatian. I got the extra small for her and it has room to spare. If I remember correctly she was right on the line too. I would put my money on the medium.
