I've got an adult cat who used to be outdoors, and I'm harness training him just so he can go outside as he still seems interested. So if your 3 year old Persian is interested in going outside and seems to be able to learn commands, I'd say there's a decent chance; things are going better with me & the adult kitty than it did with any kittens I tried this on!

I have a Persian so I can't really answer you. The collar did NOT work on her. I did try it on my friend's short haired cat and it worked well. I have a different (more powerful) one for my dog and it works wonderfully and he wears it 24/7.

I bought it for my chihuahua who is 2.50kilos havn't used it a lot the small is still a bit big for him and very stiff. I have been told harnesses can be a hazzard for older people due to possible injury. Hopefully will fit as he grows but I don't think so as he is only going to get to about 3kilos. Sorry not much help to you.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

Greetings! I ordered the smallest size (Size 0), and while it was a good fit for my cat, she was still able to lick her stomach in spite of the collar by sitting up on her hind quarters, leaning forward and "hunching over her gut." The product we found that does the best job of prohibiting her from doing this is the Neck Hug by Wagtail Farms. So that is the product I recommend. Good luck!

I've never tried to train a cat, so I don't know. If they are small, lightweight cats, they might need to put their whole body weight on it to activate it. Plus, it's difficult to adjust the water pressure so it doesn't squirt up a bit higher on first touch, which could be offputting for cats. I still have trouble with my dog not "getting" where he has to put his paw, so I keep a larger sheet of lightweight cardboard on the end of it to activate it when he gets close. (I will say, my dog is on the low end of doggie intelligence.)

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.

My cat walks on it (yes, she has claws, but they're clipped) and it doesn't seem to be a problem at least in the 3 weeks I've used it. Mostly she slides on it, so she really prefers to find another way around. I did have some concerns, but so far so good.

I have only used for my kitty once as she gets traumatized when we have to car travel and she did seem a bit calmer. She does have a biting habit, but as long as I give her plenty of chewable toys she is satisfied. Her favorite chew article is cardboard, but depending on the age of your kitten I might not give that to him. Sometimes cats never grow out of chewing, such as the case with my adopted kitty, but they just need something to chew on other than your hands. Hopefully it works out with your kitty.

Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable. I have used this harness on two ferrets, from about 3 months old, and only about a pound and a half. Now they are over a year old, fully grown, and they still fit well. Be aware, ferrets are incredibly flexible, and can back out of the harness if it's not super tight. I don't like to make them so tight, I just ensure that there is never tension on the leash to allow them to back out. Just keep slack in the leash, and they can't back out. It did take them a couple times to get used to them, but now they love it. I love these harnesses, better than any others I've seen. Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable.

I know this post is very old but I would like to know more about your cat's situation. How many vets have seen him/ and so on. The thing I want to comment on for now is how you started the post, "the little feline friend who rescued me almost 2 years ago". I have always felt the same way about my little companions. Please if you are still around, give me an update.Thanks

Your kitty should totally enjoy being able to jump between the levels with no problem. At least you won't have to deal with the sisal rope coming off since he won't be clawing it. If he needs an incentive to get to the higher levels, try putting some catnip in the carpet.

Greetings Kassandra Leigh Purcell!Yes, Cat Attract should for all intents and purposes work for your "Stray". I would make certain to put her right in the box- that way she will get the hint- sometimes I will also make a digging motion with the cat's front paw so that they get the idea that this is for doing business- NOT for sleeping! Lol! This should do the trick- best of luck!

No I don't - probably should look into it. Our cat shares with the pup - they're the same size!

I bought mine for my 3 year old cat that I adopted, she uses it but I had to teach her, I just laid treats in random places leading up to the top to show her its for her.

My dogs are smaller than some cats. Kittens may be too small there was a review I saw that said really light animals might not trigger. It is very sensitive though. A pounce would probably trigger
