Houdini™ Escape Proof Cat Harness and Leash Set by OutdoorBengal – Black, Medium Cat Harness for Walking

I absolutely love this harness. It is very comfortable for my kitty. He adjusted quickly with training and loves romping outside daily. This harness allows for maximum mobility so my kitty can jump, run, leap, lie down, and walk with ease and comfort. It is very easy to put on and extremely secure as long as you’re keeping your harness leash in the “harness safety zone”. That is true for ALL harnesses. The leash safety zone is anywhere from above the cats head to behind the cats head, with slack on the leash ideally. Walking a cat is not like walking a dog. It is for enriching your cat. If you want your cat to be highly mobile while using the harness, it is best to pair it with a form of mobility. Either training your cat to go on the shoulder. Use a backpack carrier. Or Stroller for pets. My cat loves all of these! That will keep your cat moving forward when you want, but also the harness will give you safety and protection for your kitty and allow your kitty to romp and explore along the way. THERE ARE NO ESCAPE PROOF HARNESSES. So you must use proper harness safety technique when walking your kitty. If your harness goes in front of your cats head with a tight leash they CAN pull themselves out of any harness potentially. So you must prevent that position as much as possible. Also, never force your cat. Sometimes my kitty loves going outside (almost every day!) But there are days where he prefers to stay indoors. That’s OK too. I highly recommend watching. Albert & Mia’s YouTube channel @outdoorbengle for additional training instruction, tips & great advice! All of their products are high-quality and amazing. I especially love the Feastfuls kitty chicken treats for daily clicker training. Very healthy and low calorie. I also have the Albert & Mia clicker training kit with cards. And the travel litter box. All excellent quality and highly recommended This harness comes with a 6 foot leash. But we very quickly graduated to a 15 foot and 30 foot leash. I prefer my leash to be brightly colored. You can see in the video how quickly my kitty learned to love the harness. I used gogurt-style treat tubes for training during the first couple weeks. Now I only use the healthy chicken when putting on the harness to keep him still. Which he loves also.! I have a 1 1/2 year old adult Devon Rex male who is 7 1/2 pounds. I purchased the medium. He wears it on the smallest setting. Enjoy!

I bought a couple of harnesses for my cat and this is the best I found for its escape proof feature. It’s light and gives my cat more freedom, as it only has a couple of straps, but it has prevented my cat from escaping. It seems to have been designed to tighten wherever that cat is pulling from which keeps it from wiggling out of the harness. It is well made, stitched and made out of solid materials. I can see it lasting a long time.

LOVE! I have tried several different harnesses for my furbaby, and this one has been the easiest to get on, stay on, and enjoy outdoor time in. My cat is about 13 lbs. and the cinch at the shoulder blades makes it a perfect fit. She is mobile, not too unhappy to put it on, but notibly calmer outside. The color is fantastic, and it is striking against her grey/white tiger stripes. Would buy again!

Bought one for each of my cats. Worked great for Persian, she loves it, seems to be comfortable and ease of use. The 2nd one purchased for larger British Blue 30lbs cat seems to loosen and he escaped the “Houdini” harness. Perhaps I should change his name now.

The harness itself feels lightweight and fairly comfortable, which is important since cats can be very sensitive to anything restrictive. Good designs usually use soft, breathable materials and fit snugly so cats can’t easily slip out while still moving naturally . Once adjusted properly, it stayed secure and didn’t seem to irritate my cat.

I want to warn anyone before use with a cat: make sure your cat is already accustomed to being in a harness and leash, and you do it in a safe area, nearby, or enclosed area first , because we didn’t know better and did our leash training in a park close by our home. He escaped. We searched and waited for hours and we had to go home without him and will be back at it the morning. I want anyone reading this avoid this crisis. We thought we had it on snug. And he was still able to wiggle himself out before we were able to stop him. It all happened very fast and a cat in a panicked state can do more than you can imagine. I wanted this product because it was marketed as being escape proof and it looked really comfortable. I now prefer to get the bulky one if that promises me security. The risk is NOT worth taking and I strongly suggest making sure you both know the temperament of your cat AND testing out for a fact that the harness is as fully secure as it could be (safely of course). This product may be great and right for but I’m only sharing my experience. There’s a chance we could have made it more snug but we really did think it was. He slipped out like it was nothing. However he seem very comfortable in it for a cat thats never been in one before. Edit: we were praying through this crisis and my cat was found meowing at our patio early in the morning. I don’t know he found his way back as we were going to search for him near the park again. God gave us a miracle.

I have a 9 lb, 3-year-old blind cat (she has no eyes—just fluff!), and this harness has been absolutely perfect for her. She’s confident and adventurous, but due to past trauma, she’s a little head- and face-shy, especially when putting things over her head or cleaning her face. She also hates feeling too restricted. Below I added everything I loved about this harness, and things I would have loved to know before buying! Hope this helps :) Functionality: 10/10 This harness is amazing. The high-quality material holds its shape well, so I can easily slip it over her head with one hand—no need to hold her down or make her stay perfectly still. Once it’s over her head, I just slide the stopper, clip the straps, and we’re good to go in seconds. There’s no confusion or struggle, which is huge for my blind girly. Fit: True to Size (and adjustable) I was torn between sizes (S/M) and ended up sizing down to a small—so glad I did! Unless you have a very large cat (like a Maine Coon or over weight kitty), I’d recommend the medium for cats 10.5 lbs+ and the small for 10lb and below. Thanks to the adjustable straps, I got a perfect fit, and there’s still plenty of room left on the strap that connects to the leash ring. Compared to Other Harnesses: I’ve tried the PetSafe Gentle Leader harness in the past, which is similar in style, but this one is miles better. The PetSafe version is flimsier, doesn’t hold its shape (making it harder to get on), the chest support is tiny and made of hard plastic, and the stopper isn’t very secure. This harness fixes all of those issues. Safety & Security: Since my cat is blind, it’s crucial that her harness is secure and reliable in case something spooks her. I did a good tug test, and there’s little to no chance she could back out of this. That gives me so much peace of mind. Durability: Excellent Everything from the hardware to the fabric feels high quality. The leash feels like the same high quality material as the harness and it is a decent length . The chest support looks like it’s made from a water-resistant material, and I can tell this harness is going to last us a long time.

At first, I was not sure how good it was, but once I got the adjustments correct, it’s the best harness I have tried! He moves easily in it and doesn’t mind keeping it on. At home I take it off but whenever he’s traveling, I keep it on him at all times. There is no harness that is completely escape proof but this is the best one I have found. The trick is to not allow your cat to get tension on the leash. Captain Hook will be four years old in September so I have tried quite a few! It’s also very easy to get on and off because of the sliding tightener.

I have bought many harnesses and although some are good, this one is great. This harness works exactly as Albert has designed it to work. Thank you.

Light harness which allows cat to move freely. Easy to adjust.

It looks so nice on my cat. It works pretty well.

Einmal muss es über den Kopf, der Rest ist dann sehr einfach. Ziemlich ausbruchsicher, hochwertig, und stabil. Dabei leicht - teuer, aber schön und sicher! 🪷🪷🪷

Sehr gutes Katzengeschirr, hochwertig gefertigt und optisch ansprechend. Ziemlich ausbruchsicher, wenn richtig angelegt. Das ist mit etwas Übung nicht schwierig - sehr gut! Hohe Versandkosten, die es wert sind investiert zu werden.
