I originally bought the small size vest for my little Blue Russian Burmese. I found the neck section was too wide for her short little neck. I got in touch with Catventure & they very kindly & quickly sent me the extra small.
Unfortunately, this range doesn’t suit Ballou’s anatomy. She’s just got a short little neck. She IS quite a small cat. I think the measurements were right for around her belly & neck. Her neck is just not long enough. I was really happy with the product, so it’s a shame. I’m very grateful to the Catventure team for trying to help me out. Unfortunately I now have 2 vests I can’t use because her neck isn’t getting any longer lol
We initially purchased this for our new rescue kitten Merv, he is really relaxed in it and enjoys watching the world go by.
This backpack is made so well and is actually better than I expected. We love it so much we are planning on purchasing a second one for our daughters cat Elliott. Elliott used our carrier once for a car trip over the weekend and is normally a vocal and anxious travelling but he was so happy. He sat quietly looking out the car window and when he was ready he had a nap.

It didn't take long for my kitten to get use to her harness. And now when I pick up the harness. She goes to the door & waits till I put it on.
We’ve been using Cat Harness Australia harnesses since September last year with my mature cat, Misu. She’s confident, observant, and particular… so comfort and fit matter. The harness has held its shape, remained secure, and never restricted her movement during our regular stroller and leash walks.
Now I’m training my Ragdoll kitten, Jimmy, who is very different in build and temperament. Watching him learn in the same style of harness has given me confidence in the design. It feels thoughtfully constructed for feline bodies rather than adapted from dog gear.
Having gear I trust allows me to focus on what matters most, slow, safe outdoor enrichment and building positive associations. Absolutely love!
We’ve tried numerous cat harnesses for our Ziggy but they all were either too easy to slip out of or too stressful for her to get on. This is the best of both worlds! She’s very patient putting on the velcro and while she’s still getting comfortable walking around in it, she’s well on her way to being able to safely explore. We have a very closed in yard that’s practically a catio as it is, but ensuring she can’t run off to hurt any small lizards or critters is equally as important. The neck fit is perfect but the chest fit is a little tight at the moment - though she’s quickly working through a healthy diet to help remedy that. Thank you, catventure!
The two chinchillas adored the harnesses from the first day. No need to habituate them, they were immediately with the programme. They recognise the harnesses and line up to have them fitted. They are relishing their 'free' range outdoor time.
“Absolutely love this backpack. I’ve been using it for my two Siberian Forest Cats, Samus and Banner, (8kg and 5.5kgs) it’s been an absolute game changer. The build quality is excellent and it feels really secure, solid and well balanced when worn. I love how versatile it is, with easy front, side, and top access, great airflow through the mesh panels, and the option to switch between open view, mesh, or blackout depending on what’s needed. The bottom stays flat with no sag, and it even secures perfectly with a seatbelt in the car with a neatly made seatbelt strap. It’s clearly been thoughtfully designed for cats and has made every outing smoother and more stress free with my cat Samus. I highly recommend and would not use any other backpack.
Benji adores being suited up and taken outside. As soon as I pull the vest out, he runs to the door and knows it’s outside playtime. The vest is comfortable and truly escape proof. Don’t bother buying anything else because this is perfect. We’ve even taken him for a walk in a park and he was safely contained the whole time.
Thank you Catventure!
I am 12 yrs old, and living in Paris and so far ALL the good cat backpacks have been in America and the shipping is too much soo when I found this gemstone of a bag all my worries slipped away. It looks JUST as well designed and carefully thought of as "The Navigator," TravelCat backpack but CHEAPER!!! I really love the thoughtful ideas that went into his backpack. I haven't actually tried it yet but I am sure its going to be absolutely AMAZING! Just do your cat a favor, PLEASE!
Lennie loves her new harness, she has the black one but this new princess colourway really makes her smokey fur pop!
It fits him really nicely, he's a bit unsure still but getting used to it slowly.
Absolutely love the colours in this collab! Our little blue tortie, Tabby's fur colour pops againist the pink tartan 💕 Thankyou for making a safe and well fitting harness for our growing Maine Coon. We’ve purchased in various sizes for her to grow into.
We brought the kitten size for our young cat who is quite small. She was just under 3kg when we brought, she is now just over 3kg and still fits her well. Even though not all the Velcro on the tummy part sticks to each other it is still plenty strong enough. We have taken her on many out door adventures including hikes and to the beach and have had zero issues so far :)
Had some initial issues with the sizing (despite the site size guide it was the wrong recommendation), but with the right size and fit it works well. Comfortable enough for cat to wear for a while, and we can both be outside with less stress.
This is the first time both Myrkur and I have stuck to learning to use. So far, we're doing well, and he always remind me of putting it on him...or is it the treats that go with it? 😂
I’d been wanting to get a harness for my 2 year old maine coon and these were recommended in a maine coon group I am in. I was surprised at how reasonably priced it was. It took my MC only a very short time to get used to it and now he loves spending time outside with us and I’m happy knowing he’s safe and secure in his harness. Would definitely recommend.
