Not what I expected. Cat backs out of it so not much use.
I have recently brought a new kitten home and wanted to teach home to walk on a harness and leash so we can have quality time together outside. After a lot of research I have decided to go with the catventure harness and couldn’t be happier. My boy picked up the idea almost immediately and is happy for me to “dress him” when it’s time to go outside. Even though I purchased the extra small size it is still a little big for him and he does take a few minutes to acclimate to wearing it and is a bit wobbly at first but then he is off and ready to explore. We have not left our enclosed yard as yet as he is still learning but he is very comfortable in the harness and is happy to have it on. I will definitely be purchasing another in a larger size when he out grows this one.
East, comfortable, light and no stress on our car. It takes away the issues of physical stress on the neck and shoulders. Great job !
Perfect fit- medium size for my 10 month old ragdoll!! Loved the free toy
My boy Ted is far too naughty to be out on his own and gets very depressed being in his (amazing) enclosure all the time. This harness has changed his life, I can take him out for a walk where he can sniff and explore his surroundings safely without the worry of him escaping. Ted says thank you very much kind humans!
My RagDoll Roxie loves the harness. She wants to be outside all day.
I'm not sure that my adult rescue cat will ever be harness ready, it will be a low moving ongoing process and we're not even at the actual trying the harness on stage!! But I can say I was impressed with the quality of the harness, it's light and well made. I went with the training bundle, I knew my cat would be resistant (she does not like to be restrained in anyway or form) and so this seemed like a great opportunity to seek advice. And what a great idea - Mel was phenomenal. Our 90minute Zoom flew by, she's just such a lovely person and was sensitive to our situation - also got to e-meet some of her own Tuxedo-wearing furry friends! I will be taking up other training opportunities with Mel and am grateful to have stumbled upon cat harness Australia, you can tell they all genuinely care.
Unfortunately this harness didn't live up to its advertised expectations, as my Mr Houdini managed to get his way out of it after being spooked on a walk.
Luckily, we were just in the backyard, and he didn't run far, but I was left holding a lead with attached harness without a cat after Mr Houdini took a run for it and managed to escape without the velcro straps coming apart.
Despite being sold on the high hopes for this harness, and it not being an issue on previous, less scary walks, I'm not sure can risk putting the Canventure harness on Mr Houdini again.
Hi Louise,
We’re so sorry to hear that Mr Houdini managed to slip out of his harness. That must have been stressful, even with him staying close by. Escapes like this are very rare, but we completely understand how worrying it can be when it happens.
From the photo, it looks like the harness fit nicely around his body, though it’s important to make sure the neck area is done up quite snug so cats can’t slip their heads through if startled. Some cats with smaller or more tapered head shapes can unfortunately be tricky to fit, as they can sometimes slip out of almost any harness.
We completely stand by our Satisfaction Guarantee, so we’d be happy to arrange a refund for you. Please reach out to our team via hello@catharnessaustralia.com.au and we’ll get that sorted right away.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. We really appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve for cats like Mr Houdini.
Kitty was already harness trained and she took to her new harness instantly. Lovely colour and glad I waited as this colour is 😍. Comfy soft fabric allows kitty movement freely.
After contemplating for a while, I finally ordered it for my 10 month old kitten. It is worth every cent! Very secure, took a while for my kitten to get used to it but eventually, he got comfortable in it. Now, I can confidently walk him without worrying whether he’d escape 🩵 the size guide on the website was very helpful in helping us pick the right harness size. Can’t recommend it enough
