I would measure my cat from nape of neck to base of tail. I have a small manx kitty and she took the small.However, its still too big for her. And I would suggest that you buy some puppy pee pads and place them where you cat sleeps, lounges, where ever you find your kitty peeing. And if your cats very skinny, I would suggest you allow the cat to eat when ever he wants. He will gain weight. I have a 14 year old male cat and he started pissing and pooping on the only carpeted area in my house even though there is a litter box. I might buy him one to teach him a lesson.Good luck.

Measure his top line, neck to tail and use safety pins as needed around his middle if the velcro spots are to big. Make sure he doesn't have a UTI or bladder cancer as both are painful conditions. Youl'll need to get a urine sample to your vet. Finally, if you have trouble getting the pads to go in the diaper you can use fem. hygiene pads cut in half.

You may want to consider getting something bigger. I purchased this for a large cat (15 - 16#) and she fits in there comfortably. What type of dog do you have?

It may be that your cat has urinary tract problems. Its all about crystals, rather like human gall stones. You need to check this with a vet as this causes a blockage which can be fatal for male cats. It can be treated with a special diet and lots of water.

its because of where his breastbone is i think. you are wrapping it too high. i buy mens depends large bladder pads, and i feel with my hsnd (i know nasty) exactly where his penis is, then put the depends pad with it square in the middle of the penis, hold pad there then place wrap around the pad pulling it snug around pad and his body then velcro fit on top. it should b behind the breastplate and fit him. poodles, chihuahuas etc have large breastbones, you have to go behind it and physically fit exactly where he will pee at. hope this helps

You need to measure the cat....neck and chest. There is a chart at kittyholster.com to select the size once you have those measurements. It depends more on your cat's body type than weight. I went with the smaller of the 2 sizes that might have worked by the measurements, and had plenty of room.

I bought a small/medium for my cat when he was only about 6 or 7 pounds and it was big enough for him to slip out of. I think it runs a little bit more on the medium side than small. Hope this helps!

My cat is about 13-14 pounds and he barely fits. He can just turn around in a tight circle.

My cat weighs 13 lbs and I got him the medium/large. It fits him fine but there is room to spare. I would get the next size down for your cat. The harness has adjustable Velcro so you should be fine.

Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" hole in a piece of cardboard and see if he can get through. It might be a tiny bit taller than that, but no wider. The door flap makes the vertical space smaller than it looks. My cat loves it, but she's tiny (7 lbs).

I have a medium, which fits my slim 10 lb cat nicely, and my slightly chubby 15 lb cat poorly, but adequately. She's got a large frame, where if yours is chubby at 10 lb, I'm guessing she's got a tiny frame. The large is probably your better bet, but I think the medium might work.

Please help me with the size issue? my 8 yr old is 120 lbs at about 52 inches with a big belly. He loves the water, he's autistic and intellectually challenged and incontinent. We spend a lot of time in indoor pool all winter, sometimes the water is cold for him after being in the pool for a couple hours. I looking for something warm and comfortable. Than you, Aiden's dad

I purchased a Small, which worked well for my 8 lb kitty at its most snug adjustment. The Velcro closure could accomodate a slightly larger cat/neck size, but probably not a 22 lb one. Try a larger size. A Medium might work since large cats don't have huge necks...just large bodies.

I sgree with just about everyone's opinion. The important thing is to measure the girth of your kitten; is he full grown yet? You may need to buy one for his wee size and, when he becomes an adult, buy a larger size. But do check the manufacturer's measurements and compare them with your kitty's. These holsters are just about escape-proof. Good luck!

My pug is a male and he's about 16 or 17 lbs. He's had surgery and pees through an opening behind his penis (and dribbles now) and so we don't have to worry about it fitting over the penis - so it works for him. A small won't cover up the penis tho.

Maybe try tempting your kitty to enter with food treats, the laser, da bird, cat nip, etc.? One of my kitties LOVES the tunnel - visits often. We play a game of catch and she loves to use her tunnel as a hiding spot for that and other activities. (She's 10 lbs.) Her brother has ZERO interest in the tunnel...I suspect he may be too big for it at 16 lbs. Good luck!

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.
