Cat Harnesses

Benefits of a Cat Harness

Using a cat harness for your cat can benefit both you and your furry friend:

1. Increased safety for both indoor and outdoor cats - With a harness, your cat is less likely to get lost or run away if they happen to escape outside.

2. More control during walks and vet visits - A harness gives you more control over your cat when you take them outside for a walk or to the vet.

3. Improved bonding between you and your cat - Spending time together while exploring the great outdoors can help strengthen the bond between you and your feline friend.

4. A way to express your cat's individual personality - With so many different style options available, choosing a cat harness and leash for your cat is a great way to let their personality shine through!

Types of Harnesses

There are many different types of harnesses in multiple sizes to suit your cat. They typically have a chest plate and a belly strap, and they adjust to fit around the cat’s body. Cat collars are perfect for putting an identification tag on and express their personalities with different colours and designs. 

The Difference Between Collars and Harnesses

If you're looking to get your cat outside for some fresh air and exercise, you'll need to invest in a quality cat harness. A harness encircles your cat's body and usually has two leash attachment points: one at the back of the neck and one at the base of the spine. Collars just go around the cats neck. Harnesses are generally considered safer and more comfortable for cats than collars, as they distribute weight evenly and prevent your cat from getting tangled up or choking. We recommend using cat harnesses whenever possible to keep your feline friend safe and comfortable. At Pet Shop Direct, you can find many products for your cat, like cat beds or cat litter, and also many dog food brands and dog waste products.
