How do I measure my cat?
It’s easy! The picture below shows you where to measure.
What sizes are available for the OutBound Cat Harness™?
We make harnesses for any size cat and guarantee the fit. We offer three standard sizes and two custom sizes: extra small and extra large. We can custom-fit your cat if you send us your cat's measurements, its age, and whether it is overweight or still growing we'll make a harness that fits well and keeps your cat secure.
Why is your leather eco-friendly and non-toxic?
Leather is a byproduct of dairy and beef production. Leather is the ultimate recycled material, hides that are not made into leather are sent to the landfill. All of our leather is certified as ecologically and socially responsible by an independent third party. It is processed without the use of toxins. Our tannery is certified by the Leather Working Group for its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. https://www.leatherworkinggroup.com
How does the design of the harness prevent escape?
Cats escape from harnesses by backing out. Other harness makers will advise you to prevent your cat from getting into a position that allows this. Our harness transfers the force of a cat backing out to safely squeeze your cat when they pull back. All the pressure is directed around your cat’s belly, not to the neck or other sensitive structures. Our shock cord is specially designed to be tough and long-lasting. As a bonus, the squeezing action tends to calm a panicking cat.
Can I tether my cat?
With supervision, you can safely tie your cat to a solid object. We have our cats outside the studio, in a courtyard, for several hours at a time. The main concern is that cats love to tangle themselves on anything they can.
Do I need to supervise my cat?
Yes. For short periods, once your cat is accustomed to being outside, you can leave them alone to answer the phone or get a cup of tea or coffee, for instance.
Are there any customer testimonials or reviews for the harness?
On each product page, you’ll see numerous reviews for our harness. We’re super proud of them!
Has the harness been tested and refined specially for cats?
We have tested and developed our design specially for cats. We studied anatomy and observed cats' movements to design a setup that is as comfortable and ergonomic as possible.
