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!

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

if your cat was obedient, otherwise I guess it would just be crawling all over the place, or you cold use the harness and snap your cat in. This is a lovely product and worth every penny, but sometimes my dauschund doesnt want to ride in it - too spoiled haha!Karen

Probably not good. My previous cat was also a persian whose previous owner had her front declawed. She wasn't a very good climber which I think was due to her not having front claws. I would not recommend this piece of furniture for her. I don't know if this answers this question for you but I hope it helps.

not sure, maybe the smaller version.It might be hard to train your cat too.

This harness didnt work well for my cat. He had a hard time moving his front legs in it. Sorry!

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 think so. It rides up on the cat's neck a bit when the cat lies down, but if you adjust it tighter around the cat's chest, it might not do that. You have to be careful when walking the cat in the harness - my cat actually got out of it. He went underneath something and got the leash caught between two things, and it scared him so he backed up and ended up backing out of his harness. I don't really know how he was able to do it, but he did!

Although he's pretty good at adjusting his speed, our 75# boxer can haul like an 18 wheeler if he sees a squirrel, rabbit or deer! I know I wouldn't be able to control him w/o this harness which places the pressure on his chest instead of his neck ( which is all muscle). It's really the best harness we have ( and I have several) .i would certainly recommend you try it. It won't change his habit of pulling w/o training but it should give you more control.

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

Did you ever find a replacement wand? Just wondering, because I need one. My 6-mo. old kitty keeps removing it and the last time, she hid it somewhere. You'd think it would be easy to find, but I don't know WHERE she put it! :) Anyway, I've tried improvising, but nothing stays in more than 2 seconds when she gets a hold of it. She will often start attacking this toy even when it is not on and without the wand, so she really does love it. Hoping to figure something out for her...

I have adult Persian cat and it is fine for him.it is pretty stable construction and should have no problem with 10 pound cat.

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!

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.

This is not meant for your cat to be put in and then tied up. All the cat has to do is pull against the leash and the velcro will undo. As for escaping out of the harness with no leash attached; my cat hasn't ever escaped out of it while just wearing it. It's the tension between the harness and the leash that causes the velcro to come undone.

I have. My first vet recommended cos and current said das. My cat - who tore her a ligament in her knee - responded better to das. Maybe your vet would have a better idea for your cat (or maybe try each for a month and keep an eye on how the cat jumps and moves).

Our cat is big, and we left the harness on him but he manage to get out of it after a while. If your cat is used to a leash at all I think he will be fine but if he fights it like our cat because this is the large one, your cat may slip out of it easily and I don't think they adjust much if at all. Hope this helps.
