Happy Cats now carries Walking Jackets in our Happy Cats Shop! These have been tested and approved by many of our happy cats, including spunky little Keesa.
Made of durable nylon and velcro, they come in red, yellow, royal blue, lime green, purple and black, all with black trim. They have a failsafe collar clip to make sure your kitty stays safe, even if she or he tries to pull out of the jacket. The leash ring is set back from the neck to also provide better connection between you and your kitty, and there is a reflective stripe on the back too.
They are available in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes, but can be custom made in any size or color we offer. It’s helpful if you measure your cat’s neck and waist to match to our sizing chart.
Please call us if we can assist with this or help you order over the phone at 719-362-4600.
Walking on a leash is not a natural activity for cats, so they need to be adapted to their jackets gradually as you reward and train them for the process. Our behavior consultant, Melissa Shandley, has written a wonderful guide for how to do that, How to Leash Train Your Cat, available here.
You can also learn more about leash training your cat and other enrichment at her Eat Play Love class at Catagonia Cat Hotel. Click here for more info!
