Are these neck sizes in circumference or diameter? Our cat's neck is 9.5" around, I'm assuming sizing for this product is referring to the diameter instead - I can't imagine a 5-6" circumference fitting anything but a ferret.

I bought the small size (largest of the two available) and the diameter is about 4 inches fully opened when left unstretched in a fully circular shape. That would put the circumferrence close to a maximum of around twelve inches or so. I was confused on which size to get and finally decided too big was better than too small. My kitten was ten months old and it fit her very well with a bit of leftover room. You can cinch the small size down to a diameter of about two and half inches by pulling the strings as tight as they get. As long as your pet's neck is more than two and a half inches in diameter and less than four inches, the small size should be ideal.

It's based on girth. Medium fits 10-1/2 to 14-inch girth, and Large fits 13 to 18-inch girth. I measured the cat with one of those sewing measuring tapes. Measure around the cat behind the front legs because that's basically where the back strap goes.

My vet told me that the edge of the collar should reach the tip of the animal's nose; meaning when the collar is on your pet, you should be able to press it toward the nose and it should reach the tip of the nose. The circumference of the neck is somewhat less important because the collars are adjustable. I ordered the small for my 10lb cat, but it was way too small. I recommend the medium. I actually had one that was too long and the cat could barely get around, so my hubby trimmed it to fit better. I hope this helps. This brand is pretty clear, which is a huge plus in helping the animal move around.

I used this on my cat who weighs 9 pounds as well as a cat that was bigger and had no problem. It fit both of them well and was not too tight. It is a good collar and I think it will work for your kitty. Good luck!

I think it's too wide for a cat collar. But I would contact the vendor and see if they make a suitable one for cats. They could engrave the necessary information on 2 lines and allow you to size it to fit your collar.

The small fit my cat and she is 11 lbs. But there was quite a few holes to make it smaller. I would just measure you dogs neck before you purchase.

You didn't specify the possible breed, because some breeds grow to larger sizes while other breeds remain close to "kitten size". Although kitties grow in girth, especially around the tummy area, few end up with "football player" neck size of which a collar would not fit. This collar has an adjustable Velcro strip which can be adjusted for a comfortable, but snug fit, around a kitty's neck. Even if your kitty did have a "football player" neck, all you would have to do is to purchase an additional Velcro strip (available at pharmacies everywhere), cut it to the correct size needed, and apply it next to the strip which is already there. Although I do have Velcro strips around the house (for varous household uses), I have yet to add a strip tothis collar. I hope the above input is of help to you. :)

The Kitty Holster medium size fits with a little room to spare around neck. The cat is about 12 lbs.You should note that my experience with these harnesses taught me to place another regular harness on the cat - and make sure that both metal loops are connected to the leash - that holds the cat very well - no slipping out possible for some 3 years. Note that we put the cats on long leash near our back yard and check on them frequently for getting tangled or in trouble with alien animal yard invasions. Therefore our two house cats wear the harnesses full time - and don't mind them at all - - knowing that once the leash is hooked up they can enjoy some yard freedom.

I first bought a small for my 7 pound female cat. It did not fit around her chest. Make sure you measure the chest and go by that size. The medium fit her perfectly.

You have to measure the kittens neck size to be sure but mine fit my kitten who was about 7 months old. It does have velcro so it is adjustable, I think this size will be fine for your kitten.

Hello. I have the sml (5.5) for my toy poodle but had to buy the small long for my miniature poodles as they had really long noses! It is 7.5 inches long but the neck is very adjustable. My only concern would be the weight on your cat. My dogs were about 10-12 lbs when they wore them. If your cat is a good size then it will work. Good luck.

I measured my cat to find the size. I believe the manufacturer has this on the description or on their website. I would recommend going smaller if the measurements are in between or closer to the small size. I measured my big cat to buy and it fit him fine... though he has 3 legs so he backed out of it once. I then tried to use it for my smaller cat (the one I measured was a larger cat) and my smaller cat got scared and pulled right out of it because it was too large of a size for him. Definitely measure your cat before buying though and unfortunately you can't use it on multiple cats if they aren't the same size. Hope that helps.

I got a small. It fit perfectly. My cat is about 10 pounds and no matter what she wasn't able to get it off. However I give her a lot of credit for trying.

Its not as big as it looks. My cat loves the carpet cover, but she is just a little too big to get inside. I kept it because I cannot carry it back to the post office and if she enjoys part of it, thats better than ignoring it. Im not sure how big your ferrets are, but they might like it. Im not really knowledgeable about them. The kitten on top tho, I missed that.

If you look at the company web site, kitty holster.com, you'll see the sizing is based on neck size and girth, rather than weight. Our cat weighs about the same (14 lbs.), and we got the S/M, which seems to fit him fine.
